Walking With Camera

Yesterday was another beautiful day in No. California. I took my camera on my walk past this pretty garden...I love the delicate tiny Fleurette's that make up the hydrangea flower. This rose is starting to fade but I found it to be quite beautiful yet. Like an older woman perhaps who is aging gracefully (like moi, I hope!)
I do LOVE hollyhocks. This one in an alley is tall and proud and wonderful to behold.
I felt like singing: "Zippiety do dah, zippiety day;There's a blue bird on my shoulder...my oh my what a wonderful day!"
*******************************************************************************
And now there are four playing "post cards" each to be mailed out across the states and even the ocean to my friends in my quilters group postcard swap. One more to go.
The new one is sparkly bright with sequins brightening up the hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades in felt colors. Trimmed in gold metallic threads too. I call it "Vegas"!

    Those 'cards' are to die for Lynn!! I absolutely love them.

    Beautiful blooms, I laughed when I saw 'in the alley' cuz that's where I always saw them as a kid.

    Thank you for sharing your walk with us. Oh, and that is a blue bird, but it's not a bluebird. :) Glad it inspired you to sing, in any case!
