Memories of May

I have been busy cleaning up and organizing my pictures.
The ones in print and the thousands I have on my computer.
I have "scared to death to delete anything" disease!
Does anyone else suffer from that dreaded disease??
I could use a self help group!
 
Here's a few pictures from May 27, 2012, that I never shared.
 
My Spirea's, first show of the season.
These beauties line the walk that leads to the back yard.
If you look closely, you can see the surprise that popped out,
while I was taking this picture.
 
 A Bumble Bee surprise...
he was hiding under the flower to the left.
The color of these tiny flowers changes, in the sun.
In size, they resemble baby's breath.
 
Nice pollen sacks...
 
Lift-off...
 
and flight!!
 
We are expecting snow and ice today,
it's a great day to enjoy some summer time images!

I so agree about not deleting! Even if an image is obviously a "dud", I still feel it's worth keeping.

Love spirea -- reminds me of my mom's house. :)

It's wonderful {as we freeze our buns off!} to be reminded of the warmth to come! I don't have the don't delete disease...but I have a good case of the procrastinate the organizing disease! Happy Monday!

I don't delete much either. It's amazing how many times I've gone BACK and looked at a photo I initially deemed a dud...only to realize there are qualities to it that I could make into something quite lovely thru some editing choices.

I am the same way about deleting a picture. I feel like I am committing a crime.

Great shots, Deb! They make me long to see spring come! :)

I bought a big external hard drive to store my photos. I couldn't bare to delete them. When I fill that one, I'll get another hard drive. :)

Stunning captures! They all certainly brought a little brightness into my day. Thanks for sharing such beauty.

It's always difficult to delete photographs. They certainly add up quickly.

Susan said...

Just the colors cheers me up. I love pink and no one does it better than nature!

Delightful! I've been going through my summer photos too--it's just nice to see color again. I miss it 'round this time of year.

Your making me long for warm weather!

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Pretty shots, Debbie! Good job capturing the bee in flight.

I know what you mean about deleting, but I've been trying to clean up my photos and have been deleting all the duds. I have many more to go. I feel like I'm throwing away something important! Silly of me.

Jepp, I understand everything what you are saying.
Sometimes I'm tell myself that I don't need to have everything.

Lovely pics!!!

Rosemary Aubut said...

Glad you found these and shared them! It will be 84 here in FL today! Don't miss the cold! Got to organize my photos! Thanks for the reminder!

LeAnn said...

Oh how happy I am that you shared these beautiful pictures today. I want to remember spring. We are getting a huge snowstorm here. I love to look at it; but winter seems a bit long this year with record amounts of it.
The flowers and the Bee's; just sweet.
Blessings!
