There’s been too much of the white stuff lately.
Time for something completely different.
Happy Thursday.

Autumn Memories
I think autumn is my favourite season – although when summer comes along, I love it, too – because of how comfortably warm, wind-still and beautiful it can be with all the colours. Given how rainy and overcast it has been here, it’s nice to look back as a reminder of what we have coming up.
Happy Monday.
Last Poinsettia Friday
Today is the last of the 12 days of Christmas (nope, there won’t be any singing!) and therefore the last of my seasonal poinsettia pictures.
If you observe, I hope you had a lovely winter break and that 2024 is good to you. Until next year.
Last Friday of 2023
Poinsettia Friday
The red poinsettia is the most commonly seen, traditional type with its brilliant leaves (the actual flower is in the centre of the red leaf clusters). The Aztecs saw the red ones as symbols of purity.
Happy last Friday of the year!
It’s a Poinsettia Time of the Year, 2
Last Friday I posted a picture of some pretty pink poinsettias and indicated that I would post a poinsettia picture every Friday for the rest of the month.
The creamy white ones are often seen grouped with the red ones as a counterpoint, but I think they look lovely on their own, too.
It’s a very busy time of year, so safe travels if you’re making a journey to family or friends. And whatever you’re doing (or not doing) this long weekend, I hope you are happy, healthy and safe.

It’s a Poinsettia Time of Year
Every Friday for the next month I am going to post a poinsettia photo; after all, even if you don’t celebrate any of the December observances, they are a lovely bright spot in a usually cold, gloomy weather period!
I’ve seen many types of poinsettias before, but not this particular variant. They are indeed rather “sparkly” and the name is very appropriate.
Happy Friday.
Week of Flowers – Day 7
Over the past week, Cathy at Words and Herbs encouraged people to post flower photos to help chase away the winter blahs, but since all good things come to an end, today is the last one of the series.
I’m not much of a joiner when it comes to blogging challenges, but this has been fun, and especially seeing the posts from other participants. So thank you to Cathy for this great idea and also to Jude from Cornwall in Colours through whom I first discovered the challenge.
Today I’m posting a number of favourite flower photos from May, June and July – good memories of summer.
And last but not least …
Happy summer memories – it will soon be back.
Week of Flowers – Day 6
Cathy at Words and Herbs is encouraging people to post flower photos for a week to help chase away the winter doldrums.
My contribution today is lavender and lilies; the photos were taken in July in the garden of the Naramata Inn, a heritage hotel that has retained its charm (and fabulous restaurant). I can still smell the scent of both in the hot summer weather.
And for good measure, nearby …
… there was a lovely snowball hydrangea.
If you would like to contribute your own flower photos, please do!
Happy flower week.
Week of Flowers – Day 5
Cathy at Words and Herbs is encouraging people to post flower pictures as a way of escaping, even only for a few moments, the winter doldrums.
Today’s contribution comes from last August when I found these cornflowers growing in one of the city’s flower beds.
I love this shade of blue – so pretty.
Happy flower week. 🌸
