Photogsnazzy: A Rose is an Iris is a Gerber Daisy

Just because flowers are pretty here are a couple more favorite flower photos from the Rose Parade floats.

Photogsnazzy: A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

For New Years I had the chance to see the Rose Parade Floats!  There were so many beautiful flowers!  and it was great to get a chance to see so many colors in the middle of winter!

Here are a few I took of the abundance of roses I saw.

In the Papier: Flower Power

I indulgently went to Michaels over the weekend.  I always tell myself that this time I won't browse the discount racks 'for curiosity's sake' and of course I always do.

But this time I'm a little glad that I didn't miss out on these cards, because I really like them a lot!

The last is definitely my favorite.

Photogsnazzy: Summer flowers

During my weekend trip to Winterthur (Delaware) and Cape May, I saw many flowers.  Some were in shadow.  Some were in sunlight.  Some held perfectly still.  Some were buffeted by the morning breeze.

Photogsnazzy: My summer friends, the Snapdragons

Rutgers rarely does things of which I approve, but I must congratulate whoever is responsible for this lovely bed of snapdragons outside the dining hall near my office. Every time I see their bright summer cheerfulness, I cannot help but smile and acknowledge that there is beauty and grace in the world.
