The new trailer for the "Fast & Furious 6" movie was just released.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.

Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.

Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.

It was nice and warm for a evening walk. Our little one wanted to go out to take photos of the garden so I decided to get some nature and sunset photographs. That was the day when my camera tumbled down the sidewalk on our way back home (just only 2 houses away). Like I said in my previous post, things happen. What can you do, right?

I wanted to get some photos of cherry blossoms for a while. I finally got a few great photos. Also, the lovely tulips are blooming nicely in our garden.







Just in time to catch the sunset and silhoulette image while walking over the hill.

Hosted by Elitemama 

Sponsored by Lily Mairi and co-host: Rude Mom Blog

Special thanks to the sponsor for this giveaway. If you love crafts and handmade accessories, read more below and how you can win one of the hair bows of your choice.

About Lily Mairi:

The owner of Lily Mairi has always loved making things. She uses many different mediums to express herself through canvas paintings, clay sculpting and paper crafting. She never thought of it as a gift until she had her children.

Lily Mairi has 4 children, 3 girls and a boy. She started out making things for them as soon as her first was born. For her girls, she designed hair accessories, costumes and fabric toys. For her son, she started making bow ties and art out of his "found" things that he loves to collect.

After a few years, Lily Mairi started blending her love of vintage and antique finds with items she was making. The encouragement from her friends and family to sell her items got the wheels turning. So she starting doing arts and craft shows. Now Lily Mairi designs things not only for children, but for moms as well as everyone in between.
