Flowers are the best aren’t they? They can bring a smile to my face at any time. When I’m out and about I’m always snapping photos of flowers. Their close-up beauty is always awe inspiring. I believe I was in Mount Pleasant, SC when I snapped a photo of this particular one.

Exquisite, right? These gorgeous pink blooms are rhododendrons – this photo was taken last year about this same time. Absolutely breathtaking! The mountains make such a beautiful backdrop, don’t they?

Who doesn’t love flowers, right? Going to different nurseries and seeing what may grow in your specific spot is always fun (and as evidenced by the massive amount of cars – I think most of us can agree on this!) The backyard has always been beautiful and lively until…

Welcome to spring in Charleston, South Carolina! Not unlike many locations across the country plants, shrubs and trees are blooming early. Although this seems a bit typical for us I suppose. Some years…

Hydrangeas. We have them planted everywhere, and this time of year they are absolutely stunning! We don’t have the newer types that bloom all summer. Ours have a “season” of gorgeous, stunning blooms. They seem to be especially beautiful at dusk, it’s almost as if they light up!

I have such fun with flowers. If I receive flowers I will take an ungodly amount of photos. I love experimenting with different backdrops. I’m partial to a dark background or a white background, each can be stunning in their own way depending upon the subject.
Aren’t these flowers just gorgeous? This photo was taken years ago while Fred and I were in San Francisco, CA. This is THE BUD STOP… wildly beautiful flowers! They’re located on Union Street right near Fillmore… Speaking of Fillmore Street… best place that we ate lunch… THE GROVE FILLMORE, I had done a previous post on this place, but it’s worth mentioning again!

HAPPY EASTER to you!
I thought this photo was fitting for today… it’s the dogwood tree in our front yard, here’s a little blip I found interesting (from a past post):
Many Christians consider the flowering dogwood’s showy cross-like inflorescences (“flowers”) to be religious symbols, due to their four white petal-like bracts bearing red dots on their tips; these trees are often in flower during the springtime Easter season in the Northern Hemisphere. Christian tradition claims the dogwood as the tree used to make the cross on which Jesus was crucified, and further, that dogwoods grew taller and broader until the 1st Century AD, making them suitable for use as crosses. In response to Jesus’s death on one, God permanently stunted the growth of the dogwood species to prevent them ever again being used for the same purpose. Today, very few dogwood specimens would provide sufficient wood to manufacture a cross by the primitive means of the 1st Century AD.

Ok, is anyone old enough to remember Tiny Tim singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips (youtube link if you’re curious)? I happen to LOVE tulips… and it certainly can’t be because of Tiny Tim, ha ha…
Anyway, I think it’s going to shape up to be another beautiful day here in Charleston! Get out and enjoy it!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
