I'm really inspired by color lately -- salmon and soft purple seem to be favorites here at the moment. So sunsets and quince blossoms and hyacinths make up my mosaic this week. They remind me of sherbet -- the kind I used to love as a kid -- where the color was almost as delicious as the sugary sweetness. :)
I'm hoping to get some spring cleaning done in the garden for the next few days. Our seventy-degree weather is supposed to continue into the middle of the week, and with all this rain and warm weather, things are growing by leaps and bounds. How wonderful is that after such a hard winter?!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We certainly did!

ReplyDeleteGreat color combination. The cherry blossoms are so pretty. The sunset added charm in the mosaic.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Mary.
Looks like you had a lovely sunset! I LOVE sunset watching and have about a million zillion photos on my computer of the same spot of land (complete with treetops) and my pink fluffy clouds. :)
ReplyDeleteBut now I am really craving a bowl of orange sherbet.
Beautiful mosaic Mary. Those colors are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHello Mary
ReplyDeleteThe salmon and purple look very nice together. I'm always looking for new combinations with my lavender; I like the connection to sherbet too.
Our Easter weekend was spent with family and a bit of gardening since it was so nice out.
Such pretty flowers and the colours are gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning colors - how amazing that these all appear in nature!
ReplyDeleteI'll take a big scoop of that sherbet! Yum!

Your color combinations are delicious to look at!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to get out in the garden and get your hands dirty and your hamstrings sore from bending over to weed so much? Or is that just me?
Oh, craptastic...I knew this was too good to be true and I messed up and used last week's link and then screwed up my second link. My apologies! If you tell me how to delete or correct, I certainly will.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm a Mr. Linky-hog. Sorry, third time's the charm apparently. Thanks for puttin' up with me.
ReplyDeleteThose sherbet colors are quite yummy.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors of sherbet, Mary. I love the softness of your photographs.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Very sherbety, makes me want some. They remind me of all the pretty almond trees that are blooming right now in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, Mary! I especially love those soft purples! Everything is blooming here at last! I think spring has finally arrived! Happy week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI have always been a Sherbert girl. Ice cream on rare occations... you are so right you colors are sensual.
ReplyDeleteIm so excited by spring -- it teases us in Utah then snows. This morning we had another 6 inches then by noon it was cloudy but pretty much melted.
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteD-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! Sherbet shades are my most favorite & you've captured their essence beautifully, Mary.
ReplyDeleteI'll be outside doing the same chores as you have planned. Glorious weather here in OH, FINALLY! All the spectacular flowers are the rewards we get for enduring those long, cold & dreary months of winter.
Thanks for hosting the MM party each week. I'm really enjoying it & learning a great deal from each participant.
fondly,
Rett

That's breathtaking... Your pictures are SO beautiful when I look on, tears are rising up in my eyes. I'd like to say something, but the words seems so rustic against this delicate BEAUTY.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Your art makes not only my day, it makes the whole word better.
Sooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your sherbet colored mosaic. Those soft colors are so perfect for spring. Happy spring Mary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Mary: I must say that your photos are always so lovely. Today colourful yet gauzy or dreamy. I enjoy them so much. Valerie
ReplyDeleteMary I LOVE your mosaics and your photography is always spectacular! I'm still planning on partaking in your Mosaic Monday...I just need to get some good photo's together to do it. Maybe once my lilac groves bloom I'll have some pretty enough to display. I hope you have a WONDERFUL day...enjoy the sunshine and warm weather while you can up there! Take care.
