It's that time of year.. springtime is in full swing and the trees are blooming like crazy!
I have to really force myself to step away from my home office, but I did it and I took the opportunity to go take photos around my neighborhood last week.

I collaged some of my photos onto a 12x12 MDS (My Digital Studio) scrapbook page... and more of my photos are shown below...
