F is for FLOWERS
Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere usually find the month of February to be frightfully dismal. In some areas it's still frosty, and fancy snowflakes continue to fall. In other areas, the weather is still ferocious and foul as our thoughts turn to fanciful delights of the first days of Spring. So, as we watch the snowdrops forcing their way through the snow and we await the first signs of crocus, primrose, daffodil, and tulip, I thought you might be cheered by some of my floral fotos! If it doesn't say "my" or "in my garden" the photo is from either around my neighbourhood or from my travels. Regardless, all fotos were taken by moi! So turn up your sound to "Here Comes the Sun" and have faith that winter will be over soon enough and then we'll all be able to enjoy the fabulous fruits of the summer season.
it's definitely FROSTY today
ReplyDeleteAh, so many 'f' words to describe February :-)

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers! Your video brought some warmth to an otherwise very cold day!
ReplyDeleteRather than freeze, you should frequent Florida...and see a few flowers here too. Beautiful captures.
ReplyDeleteOh I do so enjoy spring flowers but ours would be buried in 12" of snow--its coming tonight. Love the pictures though.

Makes me want to rush out into the garden, oh no I'll have to wait.
ReplyDeleteThe snowdrops have appeared, the have birds sing in the morning and there is a touch of yellow on the daffodils, the optimist in me says spring is very near.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me longing for spring. It is very much winter here..

Fabulous alliteration for the fantastic "f".
ReplyDeleteWe are feigning for spring also, but with the dry summer we had last year the snow will help to replenish our lakes. We have to accept that God knows what He is doing. :-)
I LOVE FLOWERS. AND THIS SONG.
ReplyDeleteFlowers delight everyone.
