I hope this sign of Spring brightens your day. Taken in the Phoenix Japanese Friendship Garden, Ro Ho En, on Saturday.

A Minute in the Moonlight
Carolina Jasmine flower in the moonlight. 60-second bulb exposure.
Here’s a song I wrote after this photo. It’s a softshoe like the song “Tea for Two.”
A word,
A song,
A dance,
A kiss.Oh, sweet-
heart, what
I’d give
For this!A chance,
My dear,
Your love
To woo–A minute
in the moonlight
with you.–lyric by Daniel Greene 🙂

Translucent Yellow Flower
I never realized until I got this macro lens (Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM) how translucent some things are; just check out those flower petals! (You can click on the photo above to see it in my Flickr photostream and then click “All Sizes” above the image to view it large.) I’m enjoying my hobby of photography and — I’d like to think — getting better at it. Now that I’ve seen how translucent these petals are, I’m looking forward to taking an even closer photo. I will post the results when I do.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
My husband Andy decided to put on a pink shirt, red tie, and wear my red zip-up fleece vest today. I made us a strawberry-banana smoothie. I figured a photo of Andy toasting the holiday with a pink smoothie in front of all of his pink and red would be cute. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry to go to work, so when I asked him to smile, his expression was frighteningly fake-looking. So I just cropped the photo down to the pink and red, and I’m sure Andy does join me in wishing one and all a very happy and healthy Valentine’s Day– even though he had to hurry off to work.

I Regard Him with Love
Looking at photographs I’ve taken of people helps me to remember how much I love them. When I look at this photo I took of my dad, I regard him with love.
This is a candid shot of my dad looking down at his plate during Thanksgiving dinner.
