Mosaic Monday: Think Spring



Since my new mantra is "Think Spring," I decided to make up a spring flower mosaic this week. We only got about three inches of snow over the weekend, but spring still seems a long way away. So here are a few spring flowers from my archives, to cheer your day. :)

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who participates each week in Mosaic Monday. I love learning about what is going on in your lives, about your passions and pursuits. Thank you for sharing your lives here. :)


Now let's have some mosaic fun! Here are the instructions:

1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.
3. Paste the url into the appropriate Mr. Linky box in this post.
4. Type your name in the appropriate Mr. Linky box in this post.
5. Click on "Enter."
6. Please link back to this Mosaic Monday post so that your readers can find other wonderful mosaics.
That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline.net. I can't wait to see your mosaics! Here is Mr. Linky:

    I got in early this week. The boys are watching the superbowl and I'm sitting at the computer listening from the other room. Half time just started, The Who!! Their singing (Pinball wizard- Tommy!! I loved that musical! Saw it on Broadway! Ok I'll go watch my favorite part of the Superbowl now:)
    Have a great week!!

  4. I'm thinking Spring but here in New Hampshire it's a looong way off still. At least 2 months : (

    Just one warm day would be nice though!

  9. Your mosaic definately looks Springy! It's not that far away. Valentine's Day, then St. Patty's day, then Easter... then Spring.

  10. Gorgeous mosaic ... but I'll wait until the last day of the season to start getting the 'itch'.
    We got 30"f snow over the weekend & have another 12" coming Tues/Weds. It is divine!

    Have a beautiful week.
    Happy Valentine's

  22. Mary thanks for hosting yet again! I love the pinks!! I saw a guy at the grocery store with pink tulips in his cart. I almost went to find some for myself, but knew it was just too early. I can't have the flowers in the house cause I am allergic. Guess that is why I like to photograph them so much. Easier to enjoy!

  43. Wonderful cheery mosaic Mary. I can't wait for Spring to come, it is my daughter birthday on the first day.

    We had a beautful sun set here last night, I didn't get out to take a photograph sadly, but hopefully we will have a good day today, although some snow is forecast here for later in the week!!

    Have a great week, I am off to buy some tulips to remind me Spring is on its way............

  44. I was thinking spring today as I enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather! I spied a little yellow flower in the corner of the flowerbed today and went to investigate thinking it was a crocus. No...it was a dandelion!

    I just love that middle right photo with all that water-droplet tipped grass in the background.

  45. Hi

    My goodness - what a lovely, lovely idea!

    And what a calm relaxing blog! I came over from Pat@Mille Fiori Favoritti and I'm glad I did.

    There's so much spring around here with all these gorgeous links, I can almost feel the frost lifting (I'm in the UK, no snow but lots and lots of ice and frost).

    Thanks for lifting my spirits.

    Take care

  58. We have had an unusually cold winter in Texas and I'm sooooo ready for Spring. Your beautiful flowers inspire me to get out there and dig in the dirt....as soon as it warms up and the last freeze is gone. This is my first Mosaic Monday, altho I've been a Follower for awhile. I've so enjoyed all the great Mosaic posts, so here I am to participate, too. Thanks for hosting. Looking forward to seeing all the rest....Sue

  60. Beautiful! I am so awed by your photographs; they are just amazing.
    And you got 3 inches this weekend? We got 3 flakes. My daughter in New Brunswick got about 3 or 4 inches.

    And I was going to join your Mosaic Party, but Mr Linky and the List have disappeared! (It is 10:18 am).
