Picture perfect

The one thing I love more than anything else about taking pictures is that they really force me to stop and look at something. I mean really look at it.

I'm working from home today waiting for the cable guy and the window repairman. While I was sitting here on the couch eating my lunch, I happened to look outside at the amazing contrast of the white flower petals on our tree and huge blue sky. I went up to grab my camera and embarked on a little photo shoot of our street. Here's what it looks like.

Granted, these are the trees in their beautiful stage. If we've learned anything in the last six years, it's that sooner or later, these little flower petals will drop all over the place. In about a week, our neighborhood will turn into a place where people will park at their own risk. Until then, we're loving the brilliance of nature.
