Spring is here! I saw a robin.

Spring is officially here but the temperatures aren't cooperating with us this next week, but I did see a robin and it was singing it's head off!

I have been very neglectful of my blog as of late because I have been unpacking, organizing and just being lazy.

The stress of the past months has caught up with me and I just couldn't sit down and come up with anything worth writing about. This isn't either but I thought my new image would be nice to look at. I can't wait until the trees are bursting with blooms again this year. Can you?

So

Since I don't have anything interesting right now

I'll pass on this give-away

but you really won't like it

and really don't need to stop over.

really you don't.

but if you must go here for a (boring) give-away

Happy Spring!

Give Away Update

I will be very busy Saturday and Sunday photographing a very large soccer tournamen, so...
I won't get to draw my name until I get home Sunday evening after 9:00pm. I would love to tell you that I am so dedicated to all of my blog fans that I will come right home and make my announcement.

But

I will be photographing from 7 am to 7 pm and the temps will be near 90 degrees. I just have a feeling I will be exhausted.
I shoot Monday again at 7:00 am so my plan is to announce my winner Monday as soon as I get done with my teams.

Don't you just love suspence and drama?

Until then have a great holiday weekend!
