Mosaic Monday: Flower Power



Most of you probably know how I get every winter -- just short of laying around in my jammies, with chocolate stains all over my face.  LOL  This has been a strange winter weather-wise so far -- we've already had at least four "snow events" and a few days of bone-chilling cold.

Yeah, well.

I thought some flower therapy was in order this week, so here are just a few of the many, many flower images that I have shot over the years.  I've got a pot of tiny daffodils waiting on the kitchen counter to take their turn before my lens this week...  Until then, enjoy.

Happy winter!

  1. We're thinking along the same lines this week Mary. Flower Power was coloured in on many of my high school books in the late 60s. Little did I know what flower power would mean to me today. ;-)

  8. I think that you have well described many of us, myself included. I'm not certain that I've even combed my hair today. And then you come up with this cheering, happy collage of flowers. Very, very pretty and so thoughtful!
