Signs of Spring and Greens


1. Trees are blooming and so are daffodils. However, snow is forecast for Monday so some of these blossoms will be nipped in the bud. 

Sharing with Signs of Spring and Flower Friday

2. I made this selfie for a blue-green theme for a photo group. I'm not smiling because this was before the dentist removed stitches from the hole where a tooth was extracted. Yesterday he did, so that's a step in the right direction. I won't get the implant for three months because bone needs to grow. Meanwhile I have a temporary tooth so I can smile even though it doesn't look right to me.

For those who are wondering why my face looks younger, I have a selfie-pose secret: Lie down and let gravity smooth out wrinkles.
3. Here's another portrait. This goose looks happier than I do!  

Orange You Glad It's Friday!
4. This is an old photo of my mother and her cousin Hazel Lou. 


5. Finally, one more picture from my experiments with the blue-green scarf. My iPad has special effects in the Photo Booth app and I got some interesting results.

  1. Wow, your trees are blooming! Great portraits and a lovely play with your scarf - I like these colors.
    Tooth problems are often "fun" for a long time, I know that, sigh!

  6. What a gorgeous tree! We are also expecting snow, probably just enough to mess with the blossoms we've been enjoying. Good tip there about your selfie! Hope your mouth work continues to go well. it doesn't sound like much fun.
