Just a Beautiful Day

I had a wonderful day with my family today. After breakfast we all went to our local library for family story time. Then we did grocery shopping and ran some errands.

When the children were taking their naps, I did some cleaning, and in the evening before dinner (which was entirely prepared by my husband) I even got to crochet a bit.
It was a nice and productive day!

The weather was quirky all day long with the rain and sunshine taking turns. And then in the evening I looked out of my window and saw this stunning scene. I was taken aback by the beauty of the dark clouds and sunshine. I grabbed my camera and went outside to enjoy the sight.

Hello Olga
Those dark clouds rolling in make me wonder if you got rain? The evergreen however is glowing in the sunlight.

What stunning photo's. It's nice to be at the right place at the right time. A true Kodak moment.

Sometimes it's the shot that results from 'grabbing the camera' and 'running outside' that is the winning shot. These are beautiful.

Witam! Dziękuję za odwiedziny i za miły komentarz! Uchwyciłaś na zdjęciu piękny widok! U Ciebie na blogu też są piękne kwiaty i robótki! A u mnie te niebieskie kwiatki to PRZYLASZCZKA. Jest to bylina zimująca w gruncie,która kwitnie tylko wczesną wiosną. Najpierw wypuszcza same kwiatki jak okwitnie to pojawiają się trójklapowe zielone listki. Utworzy się taka gęsta kępka listków.I dalej aż do zimy jest piękną ozdobą ogrodu! Serdecznie pozdrawiam

What nice dramatic pictures you got! Your day sounded very enjoyable. Last weekend while we were out and about, my husband and I noticed how happy people seem when the weather finally turns beautiful. There's something so natural about good weather! I hope you all have a lovely Easter!
