Ghost-Like Flowers + Have a Rosy Weekend!


I'd like to share with you what made me happy today:

*Walking up, realizing it's the weekend, and curling up for another thirty minutes of sleep.

*Sitting by the window and savouring my favourite flavour of coffee.

*The joy of watching a baby smile.

*Finding music that speaks to my soul.
Speaking of which, here's a beautiful and inspirational song. "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life."
I hope you like it as much as I did.

Faded Rose.

What made you happy today?

Have an "everything is looking rosy" kind of weekend!



Beautiful Ranunculus. (Buttercups.)

I leave you with this one. Thanks to Marijke, bottom flower is (Buttercup) Ranunculus . (Mystery solved!)
I am pretty darn smitten with Ranunculus Asiaticus right now.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Happy Easter and Passover! xx

  1. What makes me happy today? Waking up to a new day - having 2 grandchildren spending the weekend with me and one spending the morning since 5am on the couch with me, snuggling. Being able to enjoy what I love to do...and visiting my friends in the blogosphere! Have a wonderful day and a Blessed Easter! Your photos were simply gorgeous!

    It's fascinating to sit by the window with a cup of coffee and watch life go by. The smile of a baby, a sunbeam, dancing flowers, the birds singing their melodies, but, above all, listening to a beautiful song "Always look on the bright side of life".
    Beautiful pictures, full of color and beauty to adorn our screens this Spring started.
    Hugs, Betty.
    What I liked this weekend is a trip that I did for a now defunct rail route.

    Your 'ghost' shots are dream-like. I also loved the way you placed the roses for the last shots.

    Photographing birds on my berry tree made me happy today. Also cooking lunch for my son, chicken the way he likes, garnished with loads of home-grown coriander. The smell was divine! Glad you asked!
