Everyday Pleasures #6

First off, I would like to shout out a great big
"Happy Birthday!!!"
to my youngest, who is turning 14 today!
You are one of my most cherished everyday pleasures my dear, and I wish you the sun and the moon and all the magic in between!

And now for this weeks "Everyday Pleasures", where once again, I find myself in my own backyard, for it is an endless source of wonder to me. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Happy birthday to BabySillyBooDilly! Ok, 14 is hardly a baby but the name sounded cute :)

    Love these flowers. I'd have to visit the Botanical Gardens to find ones pretty like those. Hmmm...maybe I'll do that & take photos & post them on my blog & pretend they are from my garden. Ooops. Did I just say that out loud? Doh!

    Great floral pics, especially the close up of the bee. Nothing beats strolling through a garden and relaxing. It's so much fun to surf through blogs and look for inspiration - thanks for sharing!

    Gorgeous flower shots! Curly Girl Chronicles (see my Etsy blog roll) has flower "porn" for her Friday post, too. Think Georgia O'Keefe.

    Ha! Thanks for the link!
    I went, I looked, I blushed!
    (And I have a strange urge to now make little clothes for all my more modest flowers!)
