More morning flowers..

We planted these (and a set of white ones as well) two years ago

and the bulbs have multiplied. I had to grab my Olympus and

capture these still dew laden this morning.

Now, if I could only remember what they're called...

Morning rose....

When I let Hershey out this morning I noticed how lightly the raindrops

remained on the petals of my mini rose bush. I had to grab the Evolt E-410

and capture some close-ups. ENJOY!

SkyWatch Friday; Lighting

I'm posting this again for SkyWatch Friday. Last week Mr. Linky had

some problems and I was shutout.

The first picture is the original, unaltered shot.

I used my Olympus Master 2.0 program "auto-correct" to lighten up

the pic and I found it a bit more dramatic. Which one do you prefer?

Enjoy!

My World Tuesday; Summer travel...

With summer months come travel. This is downtown Cincinnati as we crossed

the Ohio River from Kentucky.

When the boy comes home...

On Tuesday Nick and Christopher attended game 3 of the Stanley Cup

in Pittsburgh. My son has been a Penguins fan for 15 years so the tickets

made for an appropriate fathers day gift. I, on the other hand, was left at home to

wash, dry and fold nine loads of my "little mans" laundry. To which I did offer to do,

so no sympathy for me.

The Short North

This is the north end of the Short North in downtown Columbus.

SkyWatch Friday; Central Ohio thunder storms

And with thunder comes lightning, a most coveted picture.

I was finally able to capture lightning across the central Ohio sky, and it only

took 64 bad photos before I snapped this one. Enjoy!

Riding the storm out....

This spring storm came out of the southwest and took central Ohio by surprise.

It was a bit scary the these clouds seemed to blanket the area in a matter of minutes.

High winds, hail and lightning accompanied the rain. Later in the evening I was able

to capture a lightning strike, but I'm saving it for SkyWatch Friday. So you'll need

to check back Thursday afternoon for that awesome shot.

That's My World Tuesday; Ohio's capital part 2

I seem to forget not everyone see things the same way. Here's the front of the

capital. This was taken on High Street.
