The carnations again..............

Can you believe these were given to me on May 9th! Over two weeks ago and still going strong..............




Can you tell we were at Barb and Ray's recently..............


Pretty clamatis in Barb and Ray's yard.......


A bee taken with the macro lens. I'm telling you, folks, I risk life and limb for you. :)



Delicious salad made by Barb - she rocks!


Quinn...........

Her eyes are so cute in these pictures. The funny thing is, they were WIDE open as I took the picture, but I guess the flash caused a reflex reaction - too cute..............


Buh-bye Barb and Ray's view................

A thing of the past as of July 1........ it was lovely, but on to greater and better things. :)

That's Mount Baker in the distance.... looks lovely.........

Plants hate me...........


They always die in my house ........ but I enjoy looking at the beautiful flowers we have in the Great Vancouver area.


Rhododendrons of all kinds...........


Using a macro lens can be dangerous .... luckily, he didn't get me. :)


A lovely wisteria vine ...........



More rhodos........


Carnations from SIL Bea for Mother's Day - thanks, BEA!


A rose? outside Earl's in Lansdowne...........

The African Violet again........


Very Cute.......

I've never seen this many blossoms on an African Violet - it's always one or two or something.......
I think this is a champion! And Grace got it at Safeway for about a dollar - go figure! :D

Post Olympics nonsense..........


A cute little souvenir of the Olympics that my friend Grace has.
