We really haven't had any weather to inspire me this week, I have to admit. It's been very rainy, very windy, very gray, but I did manage a few to share with you today. Hopefully, over next week we'll have some sun and I can get some better shots!

I always look forward to your world.
I too always look forward to your pictures. So beautiful!
Beautiful photography, Sylvia!!! Love the flowers.
Your world is so much better than mine!
This would be a good meme for me today when everything here in Casablanca seems to be against me.
I want out of this flat a-s-a-p!
This is noisy, people are pushing furniture instead of lifting them, slamming the doors, shouting...argh!
I want my life back!
I almost hate to tell you the weather I am enjoying - It makes me want to move out of Seattle. Maybe the sun will come out when I make it back.
Great pictures - the Lilacs are awesome,
wow your world looks so so beautiful and the quotes are lovely...
wonderful post :)
Beautiful quotes and beautiful photos. I certainly agree that flowers are food for the soul.
As always, Sylvia, your particular perspective is so lovely. Nice to see that lilac blooming. We just planted a little one yesterday, and won't see any blossoms until next spring. I can't wait!
You sure live in a very beautiful world. The weather has not been too good in DC. Last weekend was the first time I could took out the short sleeve that I brought with me from Taiwan. But then it was too hot and humid.
lovely of everything!
nice to meet.

Happy May!
Well, if these were taken between gray & wind, you did dang well! All very good shots! In fact, where are they of? You live in Washington, correct? They all look quite familiar..... :-) Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful world you have my friend. Love it. Have a wonderful day :)
Your world is so beautiful Sylvia. I love the flowers, changing sky and always love the ocean and sand.
Wow, Beautiful blooms and pictures. have a nice week.
Quite a scenic shots. The flowers are beautiful and very colorful.
Lovely pictures!
I really like to look around like this, but very often I don't have time to leave comments, but today are all six kids asleep at the same time. =)
Have a nice week!
Gorgeous colors and views!
The flowers are so cheerful that they brightened up your grey days. I especially love the photo of the surf pounding on the beach.
Ms Sylvia, you have wowed me again with those beautiful weather and blooms.
I missed visiting the botanical gardens, early part of spring.
Your world is laughing in flowers. How delightful are your floral photographs.
Beautiful captures Sylvia!!
Love the flowers :)
Your world is always breathtaking and you always present such stunning views of it. The first shot alone would be enough to make anyone want to see it. It should be a postcard!
Sylvia: How I do love your views of the Pacific NW, those flowers are just precious.
Loving the colourful flowers, b ut that first shot with the snow capped mountains in the background is a really awesome shot. Have a great week and hope it clears up soon.
The top photo takes my breath away! The water the clouds, the mountains and the snow...wow! That is beautiful!
Awesome scenery and photos, Sylvia! The flowers are gorgeous too!
Beautiful flowers, Sylvia. Ours aren't quite as much in bloom yet. I'm enjoying living vicariously through your photos.
This is how I remember the northwest. Beautiful pics. And again some amazing quotes. Great job, Slyvia, as always.
Take care and thanks for stopping by my VA neck of the woods.
Sylvia, that first shot is breathtaking. It's always so hard to remember that those mountaintops are so high that they sometimes look like clouds. Beautiful photos, thank you for sharing.
Rainy or not, you certainly found some nice pictures to share.
how neat, it looks like the mountains are floating!
these are all gorgeous. but I really love the riot of colour in the second one!
Lovely shots. Your world looks beautiful. :)
Wow your part of the world is filled with many colours. I love the beautiful colours of the flowers blooming.
That first shot is stunning... the mountains look as if they are floating in the sky.
marvelous captures all!!
You are blessed to live in a world of great beauty, Sylvia. Thanks again for sharing your world.
Thanks for the visit and the comment you left for me I appreciate them I'm glad you liked the roman soldiers.
Larry.
Your world is full of beauty and poetry. I love the first shot where the mountains appear to be in the sky.
Sylvia;) your world is beautiful and your words enhance the beautiful photos. Have a beautifully blessed day. Jo
Wow! what lovely pics! Wish I could visit any one of those places!
And great of u to share them with ur blogger- friends!
lovely pictures Sylvia..Lovely side of the World..
The snow capped mountains in the distance are so beautiful.
If it's gray and miserable, maybe you should photograph that, otherwise everyone will think you live in paradise.
Sylvia, I am always in awe of the beautiful areas in Seattle. My eye is drawn to the magnificence of the mountains.
Have a joyous day :)
Your world is a fantastic place to live. The second photo is striking.
Cara Sylvia, The brilliant colours of splendid flowers and blossoms....the beautiful garden....but your most wonderful place certainly is the magnificient beach; inviting for long walks and wonderful, peaceful and regenerating times!!!
GORGEOUS!!!!
( we are a little "lost" in Tuscany; it's raining and raining and we are just not used to it; I even think "seriously" to by an umbrella...!!!)
I wish you a wonderful, sunny and happy week, cara Sylvia!
ciao ciao elvira
what's those red flowers? They look so brilliantly red.
The beach, it looks like an Auckland beach.
Beautiful shots and quotes.
I can always count on you for a refreshing floral uplift!
Beautiful, thoughtful quotes, as always! Love your posts.

THe flowers/plants in the 2nd photo are stunning. The colours are so bright - I dont think I've seen anything like it before!
It sure is beautiful where you are! Nice pics and quotes.
Darryl and Ruth : )
Beautiful pictures Sylvia, I really liked the first one with the Mountains and the Water, with the clouds. The Lilac Bush photo, I could almost smell the scent.
Thank you for sharing.
How different the world looks when the flowers of spring show themselves in full colours! Lovely!! Thanks for your visit and kind comment!
oh gosh! such beautiful flower pics you took! really pleasing to the eye and never fails to make me smile. hope your week is going good.
You probably had to do what I have to do too, each time the sun is coming out I jump outside to take a picture, lol ! Your results are very nice, love the flowers and the sky !
Here too it rains and it's all grey !
so beautiful, Sylvia. I love the colors in the second photo - they really pop! and gorgeous peaks and skies. (thanks for sharing my thoughts on the oil spill...)
How lucky you are Sylvia, to have all these things to look at! The mountains look like they are floating in the air in the first shot! :)
These are beautiful photos, Sylvia. What a wonderful world you live in. The first photo is my favourite. Thanks for sharing
