Here’s a flower for your Friday. I hope you have a good weekend. 🙂
I will be travelling soon and while I’ll still be checking in with my blogging friends, it may not be very regularly for the next couple of weeks.

I hope you have a good Monday. As good as a Monday can be. 🙂

Happy Friday flower to you! I’m looking forward to spring. 🙂
As beautiful at night …

… as you are in the day.

Dominican Republic is home to many types of orchids, something I hadn’t realized until my last visit.

I had been there a number of times before, but somehow I had missed how plentiful they are.

It’s lovely to see them just growing where they like, these beautiful splashes of ostentatious and frilly colour.

The freedom to take root in the ground of choice is one we should all be able to enjoy. 🙂
Orchids are a marvellous part of the Dominican landscape. 
There are many kinds, including the vanilla orchid that is native to the island. They weren’t blooming when we visited, but here’s a beautiful white one that was.

And one more.

There are many magnificent things in the world; in this 20/20 year, we need to see that.
Greetings from the lovely orchids of Dominican Republic. 🙂

I found this bright yellow flower among the masses of snow-on-the-mountain. Isn’t it pretty? I saw it in the corner only after I had taken the photo.
The lovely, the different, creeps into our lives in unexpected, silent ways, and it’s up to us to pay attention and honour the visit.
It has been snowing for almost three weeks. There have been gaps, but mostly, snow. In Chipewyan, yath. Falling. Almost like rain. Straight down. Heavy and fat and weighty. Definitely not just a few flakes. Not to be ignored.
It looks like this.

It’s really grey and it’s getting dark very early (and earlier all the time!).
I’m missing this.

Ah, summer. It’s only November and I have a while to go, so is it okay if I start dreaming about you now? Never too early?
I’m looking forward to seeing you again, old friend. 🙂
Here are some of my most popular photos from the summer. Can you believe we’re heading for autumn? So soon??
This rainy rosie was well-liked and is one of my favourites too.
And this cutie. I don’t know what kind of flower this is, but it’s seriously lovely and delicate. 🙂
And daisies. They weren’t necessarily a blogger favourite but they are my favourite, so I’m including them.

Happy Tuesday. 🙂
Nope.
These lovely blue wild flowers shouldn’t make you feel blue …

Or this little red (and yellow) flower make you see red …

… or feel yellow.
They are all as fresh as a …

Funny how we have used colours and flowers to represent our feelings and even our state of cleanliness!
But they just are what they are, from the perfectly cultivated and sophisticated …

to the tiny, wild and perfect.

They are nature’s lovely gifts. 🙂
