While I Was Out....


 While I was out yesterday...

My lovely "gifted" Hyacinth...

Decided to make herself known...

I had taken the photo to the right,on Wednesday afternoon...

But...

When I arrived home late yesterday afternoon...

There she was...

In all her mauvey purpley bluey glory...

She changes in every shot...

Must be the lighting!!!

Thanks Devon...

She is just lovely...

Here she is...

For you all to enjoy as well......

   





 


Still trying to get the "hang" of my new camera...

  Seems my "macro' shots are still a bit blurry...

    Oh well...onward and upward....

    Visited the cottage yesterday...lots of unexpected work to be done
           on our beloved sunporch...

         But....the old doll is certainly worth it...

              Took a lot of photos...will put together and post this weekend..

                 Vivian coming for he afternoon...so excited...I am going to kiss 
                      her little face off!!!!


Hope you are all having a great day...
     
        Dreary...wet...soggy...warm here...snow melting!!!

  1. The flower is so pretty! Wish I could smell it too!! Your dinner sounds good! Have fun with the little one, and enjoy showing her off.
    Hey...couple of questions for you Linda.....
    1. Do you live in Canada?
    2. How far away is your cottage from your home?
    That's all....for now.

  2. Gorgeous springtime colour for a dreary winter day. That is a great pick-me-up. Enjoy your afternoon with Vivian. Oh. It's sunny here. Beautiful blue skies too. :)

  4. Such beautiful colouring .... and I bet a wonderful scent as well. It is a wonderful splash of colour on a dull day.
    Some rain, lots of clouds today. Keep enjoying the new camera, each photo is a new learning experience.
    I know you are enjoying the afternoon with Vivian as much as she is enjoying the time with you.

  6. It's when we take time to look at a flower when we realize how beautiful it really is. Love those pics, Linda. Love a home-made pizza, too, I must admit. Well, there goes new year's resolution #2.... I won't blame you, of course ;)
