Bloom

Hello there ...

The word this week at 


is Bloom... picked by Kirsty

I photographed this yesterday in my garden, see little ladybird in there?


Here's a closer shot


Those petals look like wings don't they...

It's been a mild summer for us and many of the flowers are being fooled into thinking it's spring and blooming for a second time like this Fox and Cubs 


...But some have just continued to bloom like these roses



and the hydrangea


More recently we've enjoyed the lovely scent of lavender as it came into bloom


And these foxgloves were blooming in the gardens of the hospice where I visited my dear friend
I will always think of her when I see them


Hop on over to Our Beautiful World Blog to see what my friends are sharing

Have a blooming marvellous day!

Ros - these are simply beautiful. There are no words to grasp at describing the emotion that the picture solicit. So wonderful and I'm grateful you shared them with us.

P.S. - I immediately saw the ladybug hiding in the flower. Must be all the years of looking for them with my daughter!

There are few things I love more than beautiful blooms! The crepe paper texture and spiral center of the blooms in the first two photos are amazing, and of all the foxgloves, white is my favorite. Gorgeous photos, Ros!
