Focus on Life Week 7 - Beauty of Flowers

This week's Focus on Life prompt was the Beauty of Flowers.  I was bouncing up in down in happiness because mom and I had this in the bag.  Every spring, summer and fall mom and I walk on campus and take pictures of the flowers.  There is a wonderful hort park just a block away from where I work and you can find me there almost every day, durning lunch, taking pictures.  I think my friends are kind of tired of me stopping there to take pics as we do our walks - but it so worth it!!!

I went ahead and created three collages of my favorite flowers.

Enjoy!

    Beautiful photos. The daffodils which have naturalized in much of our neighborhood are just starting to come up. I can't wait. Your walks sound delightful.

    So beautiful. I had so many lovely shots on my old, dead computer but on this new computer - nada. So I went with what I had on hand.
