The bees hurry from bloom to bloom, roses leak with a rich perfume, and you wonder if you've ever really seen so many flowers all at once.
Mistress Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
Today I slept in a teensy tiny bit late (oh okay, it was embarrassingly late when I woke up), so I immediately got dressed, grabbed my camera, and rushed outside to enjoy the sunshine that my overly efficient shutters had prevented from getting into my dark bedroom.
As I was walking around it was hard not to notice the flowers. They're everywhere! They're wild in fields, they're wild in gardens, and they wildly brighten up windows. Everywhere, the flowers are in bloom.
Since I currently have time to "stop and smell the roses", I thought why not just do that? With no particular destination in mind, I decided to slow my pace and enjoy taking pictures of the garden's paint palette.
With silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row.

As a person who has killed both cacti and bamboo, I appreciate the devotion and success of all green thumbs.
My favourite! My favourite! Of all my favourites.
These remind me of my grandpa. He was a wonderful gardner.
I carried pink peonies in my wedding bouqet. And explosion of petals to match an explosion of happiness.
Mr. Bee, your table isn't quite ready yet
Don't pansies look like the trouble makers of the garden?

Oh my gosh Cait, the pictures are lovely. I can hardly wait each day until you put your blog up so I can read it.

I want to see a meadow of daisies! I am also a member of the "cacti & bamboo killing club" but I still try once a year to grow something...it has become a life long project I think though :(
Your pictures are very inspiring Caitie, I am definitely going to get out and smell some roses more often :)
Nice pic's Cait and I liked the comment about your grandad :-)
Dad
I hear you Thriza. I can't keep anything alive! In fact, I often would think about the bamboo, "I probably should water this, but it's still green..." Almost like I was testing it's resiliance! How long can it go!
Thanks for the compliment mom :-)
And Dad, you should have seen these gardens. Day-Day would have been leaning over the fence, picking the brains of these gardners and exchanging tips. I
Hi Cait,how you doing?
