Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods! I've been very busy with work, so I'm a bit slow on making blog visits lately. My apologies. (I'm doing great, though, so I can't complain.)
Whenever I look at flowers, it makes me smile. Flowers can make the most simple rooms lavish and fabulous! It's great to have flowers in your house. I like to put fresh flowers on my kitchen table where I can smell them and enjoy them as it is where we spend most of our time. It's always a good go-to spot for me.
Have the flowers been blooming where you live?
Hope you have a beautiful weekend, my dears! xx

Dimi..
This is a surprise and a delight to find my name among the blog mentions. Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of doing a study like what you did with the tulip. Your blogging has such a friendly and edifying way about it. I love to visit!
The video was fascinating, and I had to wonder what it must be like to spend as much time as they did looking for footage of those remarkable birds. I laughed though when he called it a "miracle of evolution." That phrase is a paradox, isn't it?
Beautiful !!!...enjoy the weekend...love Ria...xxx...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, yes, I like your love in all versions, pure fantasy!
ReplyDeleteBetty, your tulips images are lovely! And I loved the video, very pretty and exotic birds. I wish you a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really like your tulip study. We got home tonight from the beach and found some beautiful iris in bloom.
ReplyDeleteWonderful macros, Betty, and beautiful variations!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful study Betty! Perfect for Mother's Day weekend. The lilacs are starting to bloom here. The last of my tulips are a deep purple. Of course the for-get-me-nots are a blue delight.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week end filled with love and sunshine.
I love flowers too1
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
Those are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteHow very gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for listing my blog. It is true what you say about flowers. I am looking after a friends garden while she is away and she said I could cut the roses. I'm so excited to have roses in the house.

unusual shots for a tulip. Love the idéa. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely images! Nothing like fresh flowers to brighten up one's world!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I do appreciate it, and figured I'd return the favor. Glad I did, too. Your photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love flowers, too, but don't have cut ones in the house as often as I used to. Our cats also like cut flowers. They seem to think any plants they find in the house are their own personal salad bars.
ReplyDeleteLa mejor medicina para el corazón,
es que lo llenemos de amor.
Te entrego las primeras gotas de rocío
para comenzar a cuidarlo...
...no te olvides de recogerlas.
Entre ellas se encuentra
una semilla de felicidad!!
Que este sea un delicioso
comienzo de semana para ti!!
