I had the most wonderful day! This morning I met with a group of amazing women to watch a webinar on Helping Children Manage Stress (from The Institute of HeartMath). I went with the intention of picking up some tips on teaching the HeartMath tools (which I use in my own life) to my grandchildren. I came home so inspired with the work these women are doing and even more mindful of how important it is to nourish the spirits of the young ones in our lives.
I came home and was so surprised to find that my husband had gone to the nursery, bought flowers, and planted them in the containers on our deck! Life is good!
Of course, my photo (collage) of the day MUST focus on our new Gerbera Daisies!
So I am NOT in a flower photography rut- I am celebrating our new daisies (and a great day!).

These are gorgeous and the purple bokeh is very nice. I love the angle of the shots. And don’t ever consider photographing flowers as being in a rut. I would take more myself, but don’t have any. I love Gerbera Daisies. They are so bright and cheerful. What a great gift to come home to! I told you Lonnie is a “keeper!”
what a wonderful surprise and so glad to hear the weather is warm enough for outside planting
