Bloom

Hello ...
It's Mothering Sunday here in the UK

Happy Mother's Day!! 

It's a beautiful day and in my garden ... 
Everything is coming into bloom

Bloom is the prompt word this week at 


Picked for us by Bonita ... 

She couldn't have picked a better word - I love photographing flowers and trees - they make such wonderful subjects


I love how they gently unfurl their petals and leaves as they come into Bloom


I love to see the trees come to life ... overnight they transform


 so that in the blink of an eye there is blossom everywhere


Who could not smile at their colourful beauty?


An orchestra of delicate bells


... and trumpets


That the birds sing along to as they build their nests 


The most wonderful time is when Bloom happens
Is it happening in your part of the world?

Link up with us at


And have a beautiful day

EDIT ........ Picmonkey

I see that some of you have a problem using Picmonkey lately ... You may be getting a message that says your browser is Vintage 

To Correct This

All you need to do is open another browser ... My Mac is set to open in Safari but by downloading  Firefox I can open this as my browser instead of Safari and Picmonkey will work perfectly

I hope this helps you.
