Summer seems very shy this year, but I couldn’t be enjoying it more.

TTFN~~Claudia

Today,I am hooked on my new photo editor, Picasa 3. Some times Photoshop is just too time consuming for me to even attempt. So, I broke out my Picasa and simply added sweet words. Stop by Hooked on houses and see what others are hooked on.

    Talk about some beautiful photography! I wish I could take pictures that close up- my lil point and shoot just doesn’t cooperate!!

    If you walk around you neighboorhood I am sure you will find someone with iris. They have to be divided every 2 years usually and I know I am always happy to share mine with anyone in love with iris! Happy hunting!

    Hello dear C!
    Our feelings are the same in blogging. Comments make me keep on going.
    As you may know, Sweden have a very wet start of summer. Yeah! we’ll celebrate the Mid-summer tomorrow 19th of June but unfortunately the weather is hilarious.
    Yes, am whining as am freezing and I want to enjoy the short summer. But when Mother Nature decides, no one can keep her away from what she decided—he he…
    I am enjoying whatever weather come across my way. Life is too short to whine to everything. Just loving as always my pure & simple life.
    Hope you can join my 1st bloggie BDAY surprise on week-end.
    xoxo from the chilly & wetty Stockholm…

    I love that red pop of color. Well, I do love all the beautiful pics you have here, but I am very partial to red at the moment.

    They’re a beautiful shade…hope that’s a sign of great colors ahead for your summer!

    Have a wonderful weekend, Claudia.

  18. Tamara on June 19th, 2009 9:56 am

    I just LOVE your photos! I keep trying to get our growers to try grow those red hot pokers but so far, no one agrees with me. maybe if I show them this picture they’ll change their mind :)

    I agree…I think we’re skipping spring altogether here in CT!  Great photos!

    I use Photoshop Elements. It is simpler than the full blown version but still you can do lots.
