Happy Valentine's Day

 

Thank you, my readers, for your blogging friendship! Wishing you a great Valentine's Day. Just sending a little beauty your way today. 

A Beautiful Day in the Garden

Saturday was cool but sunny and after a day or two of foggy cloudy days it was very welcome.  Flocks of robins were everywhere and it was too glorious to  stay inside. So, I grabbed my camera and started taking an inventory of my garden. My first reflection was: in the winter when the garden is sleeping I like the pop of blue of my cast iron architectural piece. 

Camellia Love

Camellias are blooming in my garden. The luscious blooms of camellias are beautiful to me. I've cut some  blossoms to share with you today from my garden and pulled out some camellia pictures from my archives too.

Our First Date

Battenberg lace, flowers and candlelight spell romance to me. Valentine's Day is a time I can set the table in the dining room for a quiet dinner away from the television and enjoy the ambience of candlelight, reminiscing and good food.

Bragging on Daughter

My daughter made these pictures in my garden during Christmas. I think they are beautiful! She posted them on her blog, Amazing Grace, and mentioned she thought this statuary had the sweetest face.  She did a marvelous job on the photography and I enjoy getting photography tips from her anytime.

It's a rainy day here and I've seen snow pictures on many blogs today so I hope these pics will add a bit of cheer to your day. You may view my daughter's blog by clicking on the picture on my sidebar.  She is a treasure!
