TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ 33 Tulips

The fiery red of Tulips to shoo away the flu
on a miserable and rainy day...



To all of you who cared and sent supportive messages
I am truly deeply grateful. Though it still lingers, it is
decidedly getting better.
Here they are again on a slightly brighter day.




My energy reserve opening up in bright sunlight.

Thanks to Luiz Santilli Jr. and his great team we can see
what is flowering around the globe.

    Nature is restorative, isn't it. I am smiling feeling how you become one with your flowers and always find definition in nature.

    You vibrant tulip soul!

    Arija, you are an artist! A hidden talent! It is a mirror image of the real tulips. Take care and nurse your cold. It must be the long travel. I will see you around, just take it easy.

    I am glad ho hear that you are better now.
    What a nice drawing you have done. An to see the real as well. It is interesting to see that the flower love the sun and open up more and more as the sun comes up.

    ballerina in her tutu dancing on my Almond tree. - I loved reading that sentence, here is autumn as you know and you have spring, so this year I do not have to have "winter" can look on yoursblog.

    The fence shadow was very nice and all the flower along the road but it will be difficult to go along the sidwalk/payment with children almost no space left,

    Lovely tulips and drawing ... so strange to see really as we will be heading into winter soon. Our world spins us into seasons ... your being on the other side ... hope your flu is gone by now and that you have a cool spring... hopefully the reports of a warm spring have changed too.
