Today my husband surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of lilies. It was an anniversary present; we met 18 years ago today, on a very snowy day in Denver, when the power was out in many homes. But we had a wonderful first date at the local On the Border restaurant. My lucky day…
I used the Lensbaby Twist 60 for all images, but the second two were done with macro lenses. (more…)
OK, I lied in my last post… It wasn’t the last one about Colorado. I forgot that on the last day I quickly stopped at a spot I had discovered years ago to take a panorama photo of the scenery.

Those of you who have been visiting me every day this month: a BIG thank you. Your visits encourage me to continue with the daily posting in April.
In today’s post I’ll complete sharing images about our brief trip to Colorado. On the way home I sat by the window again, and kept trying to use Lensbaby lenses for my shots.
