I’m
currently spending a week with my family here, but last week we spent four days
in Pennsylvania where spring was
certainly in the air. We visited family and friends and attended our good friends’
wedding out in western Pennsylvania. The weather has cooperated with us for the
most part as we flew and drove hundreds of miles around the East Coast.
One
of the sure signs of spring out east is the sunny yellow color of forsynthia
blossoms. Almost every front yard contains these cheerful colored bushes. You’ll
even see forsynthia randomly along side of the road.
During
a few pleasant mornings, we took a stroll through the nearby wooded areas, and
I decided to test out my new camera lens on the wildflowers we encountered. I have wanted a 24-105 mm Canon lens for two years. We finally could justify the
expensive price tag since I take on average 8,000 photos per year!
This
camera lens is amazing and takes some fabulous upclose photos! Just look at the
morning dew droplets on some of these wildflowers. And the green moss covering
an old log is one of my favorite photos too.
Happy
spring (again)! Hopefully, spring will arrive soon for my parents too!

@Sara Louise, thank you! Yeah, the lens was sooo worth it. We took 500+ photos in Pennsylvania. Lots of editing to do now so I can send the bride and groom so photos. :-)

@Joyce, We were in Stahlstown, PA, for our friends' wedding and then outside the Philly area where my in-laws live. I was really surprised how rural and how pretty western PA was! :-)
