Beautiful Blooms

lily of the valley

azaleas

spring azaleas

“If flowers were merely beautiful to the eye, they would still hold their charm; but at times their scent draws us back – like a happy condition of existence, like a sudden invitation – to a deeper sense of life. Whether I’ve sought out these invisible emanations or, more especially, whether they have suddenly happened of their own accord, I accept them as an intense but precarious expression of a spirit whose secret is hidden by the veil of the material world.” ~ Etienne Pivert De Senancour, Obermann, 1833

More flowers to share on this lovely spring day...I soak up their beauty with a smile on my face and in my heart. Yes, spring does that to me...have a wonderful day! I'm linking up to both Wordless Wednesday and (thinking a day ahead) This or That Thursday.

    Sherri, Your photography is so beautiful! Do you use a special lense? The focus is so crystal clear...striking!

      Lisa, I only use a point-and-shoot camera set on automatic (no photography expert here, by any means). I absolutely love it, though - it's the Panasonic Lumix LX5. It takes the most amazing photos! Thanks for your kind words. :)

    I really like the way the second picture has the blurry background making the foreground pop. I've got to learn how to do that!
