Purple Posies

If you know what kind of flower/weed this is, please let me know. I just like the purple colors. :)

A Bee in a Blossom

I think this is a perfect Monday picture because...

a) back to being a worker bee today;
b) I'll be busy as a bee this week;
c) I'll need to remember to stop and smell the flowers when it gets hectic.

Have a great week!

Red Rhody, Red Rhody, Send Spring right over...

I think Spring might be here, but then it gets chilly or rains again. Red Rover...send Spring back to us!

Happy

After many months of gray and dreary colors, a bright spot in the landscape makes me happy.

Hope

“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

 Prunus Subhirtella 'Rosea' (Cherry Blossom)

The Prunus Subhirtella tree is native to Japan. My thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been and will continue to be impacted by the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
