April Showers Bring May Flowers

This girl is more than ready to be done with the dreary days we've been experiencing lately! I do so much better with sun...so be gone showers! I only like you when you bring thunder and lightning, and I really love you when you bring it during school. : )

In the couple minutes of no rain today, I managed to pull out the camera and snap some pics of our tulips and daffodils {my mom's favorite!}. They are nearing the end of their prime in our neck of the woods!

I am desperately trying to learn a thing or two about aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. I swear, at this rate, learning my camera will take years. The pioneer woman's blog has been a godsend and a wealth of information for my beginner self. If you haven't seen her blog, get your little booty over there now. She's an amazing cook, home schooling momma, wife, photographer, etc. Basically she does it all, and offers up amazing advice with simple explanations and lots of humor. She is fabulous! Additionally, she offers up FREE photoshop actions to make your pictures look pretty darn near perfect!

My plan was to go on a little town adventure but of course, the rain put a damper on that idea! David and I did get to snap a couple pictures in this city garden before the rain and wind picked up again. It looks awesome in summer and I can't wait to get out there and experience with the colors and flowers! Hopefully by then I will have learned a little bit more!
