Jessi and I got up bright and early this morning and headed back to Durand. We wanted to get some more pix of the nesting swans. I thought it would be a good time to take pictures cuz morning lighting is sooo much nicer than the harsh afternoon lighting that I fought with yesterday. What I didn't know... mamma swans like to sleep in!! I didn't think a sleeping swan would make for an interesting picture, so Jess and I headed over to Seabreeze to take pix of the birds over there.
I also took some more pix over in Eunices garden while the girls had their music lessons. This one makes me dizzy! I was really hoping to get a giant bumblebee - but I can't seem to get one! While there I had this brilliant idea... I thought I'd take a picture of Eunice's house. To take the picture I went way out in her front yard and laid down in the grass so that I was eye level with the sea of dandelions in her front yard. I guess I thought it made for a more interesting composition. The thing I didn't count on was that I got dandelion all over my new jeans and my sweater!! I sure hope it comes out!!! Any suggestions for removing dandelion from clothing????

Try spraying the dandelion spots with Shout or something like that, maybe Stain Stick. I've heard it gets good results.
Hey, what time in the morning do swans wake up? Maybe I get up with the birds afterall. (Some mornings getting up is for the birds.)
Thanks! I threw them in the wash as soon as I got home - but I haven't checked yet to see if the stains are gone. If they didn't come out - I'll be giving it a try!!
There were quite a few swans that were up and about over at seabreeze around 7:30 AM - but the mamma to be was still asleep when we left around 9 AM... So, maybe the mammas need more sleep. :)
Yes, mammas definately need more sleep:)
Ahhhh! I always spell that wrong.
d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y (definitely)
LOL! I always spell that wrong too!!! I'm getting to the point where I try and think of a different word to use!!! Sounds like my kids when they had a writing assignment - rather than look it up, they'd just use an easier word.
You could have taken a picture of Jessi in the forground...like that famous painting of the girl crawling on the ground with that farmhouse in the background.
Maybe I will next time! But she was still in having her lesson when I took that picture.
