Wow - what's more beautiful, the skies or the flowers? It's impossible to pick! Thank you for sharing all that beauty Sylvia!

I love the colors of your sky, trees, and flowers! I bet they are even more vivid in real life. Your camera did a splendid job, though.

Sylvia,

Look closely at the 4th picture, upper left quadrant. The cloud structure. I can see a silhouette of Mahatma Gandhi's face there. A side profile , facing right, round framed glasses, a receding hairline, a prominent nose and a white bushy moustache. Kind of hazy, but its there. Stare for a while and you will see it !

Good morning Sylvia. Visiting today was a cooling off blessing. It's getting hot here but we have a promise of rain tomorrow. That's a good thing.

Spring is such a beautiful season, one never gets tired of beautiful flowers.

We are getting dull weather, I was caught in the rain on my way home, and I just happened to have parked my car quite far away. I was going to give my mates a ride, and we all got very wet.

Lew said...

I never tire of Spring anywhere! Any your Spring is fabulous!

I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
