Have a lovely Sunday, dear lady.
X to you and Joe!
Ah! The joyful scenes of spring....:)
ReplyDeleteValerie, you have a beautiful garden and blooms! It's still so cold here - again only 36 degrees this morning!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise. The garden sold us the house, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cuban. I went for Sunday Scenes because I felt Sunday should be a day of rest and peace.
Thanks, Mersad. We have had a few nice days lately... hope it lasts.
Thank you, Ranita. Do you have a garden?
Ron, my late aunt spent a long time getting me to remember plant names. I didn't realise how much her efforts had paid off. However, I confess to knowing more that's IN the garden than outside.
ReplyDeleteWe took a walk through Balboa Park this weekend and encountered some very similar sites. It's nice to know that Spring is here! The birds, flowers, and bees are out in force, and everyone is having a great time out under the sun. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing colours and wonderfully captured. Oh, what a lovely garden to wander about with a camera! Just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so beautiful Valerie..it seems as if spring is in full bloom..and the pictures are so perfectly taken..
