A few hours later, the snow has stopped, it's warmed up, and because Jan is working from home today, we take the opportunity before the sky clears to go to the Townline for this year's first photo session with the scillas.... "Mmmmm...these smell so good...." When the sun peaks out between the clouds, the scent is amazing, but as soon as we are shaded by the clouds again, the scent disappears. I've brought along Lonnie, Ringo and Nami in their warm sweaters and hoodies because it is still rather chilly, but I've also brought along Holly in her beautiful lace dress. I figure my newest dolls deserve to be photographed here first...... Hopefully there will be some more cloudy periods this weekend so we can try another photo session. Sunny days are bad for photos here, as are most evenings since I'd be shooting into the sun, and the flowers keep growing, so by next weekend they might very well be too far gone for doll photos.

Beautiful photos, Martha. We still have yet to see any flowers (upstate NY) but I know there will be here soon. I've really enjoyed all of your photo tips recently and look forward to more photos of springtime with your dolls. Have a nice weekend!

These are about the only thing blooming right now. They are very ear;y spring flowers and don't seem to mind the snow.

Martha, your photos in the field of scillas are so beautiful. They've become another sign of spring for me. Your little ones look so much like real children, it's hard to imagine they're not.

Thanks! It's getting harder every year as the dog-strangling vines are taking over and ruining the 'sea of blue'. I'm hoping it will be good enough weather to take a few more this weekend.
