.....'cause.....it's SPRING !!!
(finally)
(well....kinda....sorta......)
Anyway, I could stand some more flora and fauna and sweet little butterflies and if that dirty old snow takes too long to melt or we get, yet another, fresh dump.....well.....I'll just come and stare at my pictures till that dark moment passes.
Denial is so under-rated, don't you think?
Had enough yet?
No? Oh, goody!
But especially, I hope you always have spring in your heart!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God.
My (growing) family.
Hangin' out with my girlies.
My wonderful friends (you know who you are!).
To laugh (out loud and a lot!).
Music.
Painting. Hugs.
Long chats with my buds.
My garden.
To read (ha...when I can!).
Sunshine.
Spring, Spring and more Spring.
Building things.
Cooking.
Decorating.
Parties (ahem).
The internet.
Life.
Movies. A.I.
Dancing with the stars.
So you think you can dance.
Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off.
Oh Gee...everything actually!!

Holy WOW Wanda! So gorgeous. Seriously breathtaking. I love butterflies. There is something so peaceful about them. They fill me with hope.
So beautiful ~ the colours are amazing, but there is something INCREDIBLE about the black & whites! :D
I am normally very partial to your black and whites but I have to admit I absolutely love these flowers and butterflies in color :)
Keep 'em coming Wanda, I never get tired of seeing what you shoot!!! Love the depth of color in these!
Spring arrived here, now it's gone again but I know it'll be back!

Stunning! So colorful and pretty. I just love the 9th shot from the top of that slightly blue butterfly. Gorgeous and dramatic at the same time.

Hi Wanda. J and I are saying hello :).

Lisa - I used my 18-200 only because I knew I'd need to do a lot of zooming with all the butterflies.
