Pretty Things

I decided that I wanted to share some pretty images so I've gone through some of our garden photos. Hope you enjoy them:)

Hmmm.... I can see, now that this has been posted, that these images are too small. I think I'll play with my photos some more and do smaller collages and/or with cropped images. There is so much we can do on these silly computers now. I just love it!

    Thanks for the thoughts Beverly. The wrist stuff has it's ups and downs for sure. But I'll take what I can get and create when I can!

    I love your garden pictures! Out of curiosity, where do you live? Everything looks so tropical. I would also like to know the name of the flower on the bottom right of your collage, the purple one with yellow, because I have one for almost 10 years and have never known its name.

    Hey Anne:)
    I believe the flower in question is a Dutch Iris!
    The gardener of the house (not me) is laughing because she yearns for tropical gardening. We are in zone 7 and get 3-4 feet of snow a couple of times each winter. We're in Northern California up at about 3300 ft. I'm so glad that I could help you identify a flower!

    Ewww Kathleen -- another winter storm! I understand not liking that. It's cold and windy here, but still sunny at least. I hope it just blows right by you:)

    Ooooh what absolutely beautiful colours all those flowers are. Irises! I miss them so much - every summer in Virginia I used to love seeing them everywhere, but they don't grow where I'm at now! And your work is -wonderful- too. I'm excited to see more of it, thank you for dropping by!

    Thanks Shuku:)
    So where are you living now that you don't get those lovely irises?
    Thanks for the compliment on my work - I'm really enjoying yours and look forward to delving into your archives!
