Summer rainbow....

On an early morning whim, I entered myself in the search for the top 25 mom photographers over at circle of moms. If you feel so inclined and would like to vote for me (I would be most appreciative) you can hop over HERE and vote or click on the button on my sidebar. You can vote once each day until June 29th. It's all in good fun and we'll see where I end up! Thanks so much. In the meantime, here's some eye candy showcasing a rainbow of blooms I captured the other day at the landscape arboretum. Gorgeous!

The day began....

With beautiful warm sunny skies. It seemed like the perfect day to visit the arboretum to see what was in bloom after all the rain we have had. The humidity was rising and the temperature was supposed to reach into the 80's (!!). I found the hot colors of summer all around. The warm red, orange and yellow of the tulips and daffodils were stunning. It felt more like July than May.The temperature rose and rose throught the day and by evening a thunderstorm had been brewing. While I was at work hail the size of golf balls tumbled from the sky. My new car didn't fare so well with some pretty hefty dents. It's going to be an interesting summer!
