flowers of all kinds are still in bloom here, so i’m soaking up the opportunity to photograph them while i can. soon i’m sure we’ll have our first frost and all i’ll have to remember the summer by are these pictures. that will be alright though, i know they will be back again next year.

i thought these new images from watersounds might be a nice way to start off the week. they are so serene and peaceful, don’t you think? as the to-dos of monday creep in, try to stay grounded in the peacefulness of the weekend.

i am simply in love with the way kari herer has combined traditional pen and ink art with the soft petals of roses and magnolias. it’s just perfectly feminine, don’t you think?

to say i’m still in shock of the natural terrain here is an understatement. it seems that every time i go out into the yard i see a rose that was just created to be put in a vase and enjoyed over dinner! since i just came in with some fresh ones, i thought i would share them with you. i hope they brighten your day as they have mine!

i’m used to having flowers in my yard. it was a long (and cold) 7 months in colorado without a single boom in my yard. to be greeted here by several dozen rose bushes, fresh herbs and a trailing vine that covers the house has been more than wonderful, its been rejuvenating. things are getting back to normal. things are green and colorful once again. i picked these a few days ago and love the soft brightness they bring into the room. today, i am thankful for blooms of all kinds. what are you thankful for?
