The storms started rolling into the area around 4 pm yesterday. While looking out the kitchen window, I notice how stunning the clouds looked. I ran and got my camera.
Can you see the bird flying to safety?
As pretty as the storm was to watch, I would have been upset had it not watered my garden sufficiently and had it not broke the heat wave. The storm did not disappoint. Jake and I were able to take a longer walk than usual due to the cooler temperatures. I plan to do absolutely nothing in my garden this afternoon. Nothing but sit underneath the oak tree and read a book.
Speaking of the oak tree, I took photos of it in Spring when it was in full bloom. Recently, I had one of the photos developed and framed.
I’m thinking of hanging it in our bedroom (We have a total of 3 pictures in the bedroom right now. Maybe another photo will help it to not look so sparse. I’m not much for the minimalist look.)
And because I couldn’t resist, I had a picture of my favorite lilac bush blown up.
I feel a bit silly hanging pictures that I’ve taken of our garden on our walls, but I’m sick and tired of looking at bare walls. Something had to be done.

Aren’t storms just delightful! :-) They make me want to craft.
I think personal photos like that are SUPER!!!! Those mean so much more than what you could ever buy – plus these are beautiful, Marie. Great job.
lovely photos! I agree that photos you took yourself are the best kind you could ever hand on your wall! :)
forgot to include my name… ;)
Oh — the storms were great! Maja and I sat in her room with the lights off and watched the lightening. And I’m LOVING the cooler temps!
I especially like the lilac picture. I took one of our lilac bush this spring that I had thought about enlarging and hanging also, just hadn’t done it yet. Maybe you’ll inspire me.
Your photos are great. I also put personal things on my walls. Much better than bought prints, unless these are made by friends etc..

I think floral photos on your walls of your Spring and/or Summer garden is a lovely way to decorate!
