April 26, 2015--Tulips Everywhere

It's been a couple weeks since I last shared photos of spring around Lincoln.  In that time, many of the flowering trees have either turned green (or an unpleasant color of dying pink or white flowers) as their petals have disappeared.  However, in the absence of brightly colored trees, more flowers have started blooming. In particular, tulips have really come on in the past few days.  

The photos below were all taken at Sunken Gardens, which is relatively close to my apartment.  I'll be honest and say that Sunken Gardens isn't the most attractive until mid-summer.  However, there were a few large beds of tulips scattered throughout the garden this year.  They all looked gorgeous, though I found the purple/white combination to be the most unique.  

Higher resolution photos may come in another post, but, for now, here are some Instagram snaps of the garden:

April 12, 2014--Lincoln is Blooming

I haven't posted for about a month...  Student teaching after Spring Break ended got extremely busy and stressful.  The job hunt has also heated up, with job fairs and a few interviews happening.  So far, I haven't been interested in any of the places I've interviewed for officially, so I'm still waiting for "the one" in terms of fit.  We'll see what happens...

Anyway, my student teaching stress level has been winding down.  My final observation was on Friday and I'm essentially done with all assignments in my other three classes.  Should be straight A's across the board... Woohoo!

Since I've had more time recently and since Lincoln has started to look a lot more attractive, I've had the opportunity to get outside for a little photography again...  Here are a few pictures from the start of the Lincoln garden scene.  I'm sure it'll only improve over the coming weeks as tree leaves start popping up.
