A Blooming Hodgepodge: From There to Here

One of the things I love about summer is flowers and they are really in abundance this time of year. While we were away, I snapped photos of beautiful flowers at almost every place we went. Vancouver and Victoria had a profusion of them. It made me wish I had a greener thumb. I would love for my yard to be spilling over with blooms and blossoms in every color of the rainbow.

  1. Thanks for the beautiful summer flower pics, Ginger. They cheered me up, on this VERY cold and rainy winter's day here in the Adelaide Hills. Still, the rain is good, our log fire is very cosy,and Spring is only 5 weeks away.

    Hugs,
    Kayzy :)
