The view from the porch

Last weekend I enjoyed being outside.

On the porch taking in the view...

of Carolina Blue skies

and of birds flying through the air. Some more life like than this guy.

Gorgeous Blooms...

in vibrant colors.

It's good for the soul.

Duke Gardens

We headed to Duke Gardens on Saturday (the same place we took my maternity shots). We wanted to get some candid shots of Emerson in the flowers but she decided sleep was more important. We got some good pics and Emerson gave us her best. But we probably looked why we were torturing her to other people. (See flower shot).  Check out some of the beautiful flowers. I can't believe I've lived here for 4 years and I'm just now getting there in the springtime!?!
