Get your mom a plastic spoon

Aren't these flowers simply divine? I found out this Happy Bouquet by Joy StClaire and was struck by the delicacy of the image. It got me thinking about the beauty of the simple things in life, such as these flowers - the perfect gift for anybody, at any time of the year. And at a time such as this when the rush to buy the perfect Christmas gift is in full swing, it makes sense to stop and think about this. I mean, you can get your mom a plastic spoon but will it move her the way a bouquet of flowers would?

In the language of flowers, pink roses signify perfect happiness. But you needn't have to research a flower and its meaning to create a pretty little homage to a good friend now, do you?

Blooms

I thought I'd share this beautiful picture of the gorgeous flowers of an almond tree in the countryside where we live - it's in full bloom, a joy to see and a promise of many delicious almonds very very soon.....

Spring Flower Treat

Spring is in the air. It's such a relief to finally see some blue skies and warmer weather. Nothing more significant than a glorious riot of flowers to really drive the message home. Here is what I've been photographing while I was away......

Flower Power

I adore flowers so imagine my excitement at the camera recently when I covered an interview with the owner of a nursery. Here are some pictures I took.
