Flowers for a Monday Morning

It's another Monday. Let's all go to work!
Wah.

Colors of Spring

As we had yet another record breaking cold day, I thought some spring colors were needed. This is the inside of an iris, up close and personal.

Dandy Dandelion

 

I'd prefer to see these covering the lawns rather than snow.

Mother Nature doesn't care what I prefer.

Grr.

What's With This Winter Stuff?

 

Dear Mother Nature,

Okay, we've seen the snow. We've felt the cold air. Spring can come now. Thank you!

Let's See Flowers!

 

We're supposed to have a dusting up to a few inches of snow tonight with a possible significant storm over the weekend. One day it will be spring once again with new life sprouting all over the place.

But, not today.

Pining for the Crocus

 

We've really been lucky around here so far this winter. We've had negligible amounts of snow compared to the last few winters. While it's been cold, we've also had days when the temperatures were almost spring-like. 

But, nonetheless, it is indeed winter. The trees are barren. Everything is a dull brown or grey even on a sunny day. Yes, I'm pining for spring.

Still Dreaming

 

Keeping with my earlier dreams of warmth ... even dandelion type weeds and little stingy type critters! Yes. 

Flowers DO Bend With the Rainfall

 

While we can continue to continue to pretend our lives will never end and flowers never bend with the rainfall ...

They do.

My apologies to Paul Simon. His words, my photo.

Is It Cold Enough For You?

 

Let's all pretend it's summertime and flowers are conquering the fences.

Um.

That's not working. It's still way below freezing here!

Already Thinking of Spring

 

Yep, winter has barely started and we haven't even had any measurable snow here as yet.

But I'd still rather it be spring.

I'm just that way as I get older.

By Any Other Name

 

... would smell just as sweet.

Pretty as a Picture

 

This one just makes me smile.

That's good.

I feel I haven't smiled enough lately.

Love Me a Lily

 

I like flowers. I don't grow them. I don't buy them. And, it's extremely rare, almost never, that anyone gives me them. But, I do like flowers.

Good Morning, Glory!

 

What a glorious color for a morning glory!

Regressing into the Floral

 

Every now and again I need to go for the pretty stuff.

Then I regain my senses.

The Chicory Blossom

 

It opens and closes with the dawn and the dusk.

Dandelion Don't Tell No Lies

 

Nature doesn't make mistakes. There is a beauty in everything she does.

Yellow on Yellow

 

Goldfinches on sunflowers. All can be right with the world.

But, it rarely is ...

If There Was Sound

 

Nature's bells would be ringing.

Flowers be Photogenic!

 

Yes, indeedy. Much more photogenic than me!
