Very nice, Sylvia! Love the roses, especially.
ReplyDeleteBTW, have I ever told you that my younger sister's name is Sylvia? Lovely name!
Sylvia, I am back and for good. Took a break. Just like that. As usual, those pictures are delightful. The header is pleasing to the eyes. Happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I never get tired of seeing those snow capped mtns. Gorgeous sunset also. And your violet is thriving.
ReplyDeleteI like all your photos, especially of the Saintpaulia.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, Sylvia
Your world is very beautiful. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, liked the colors in the sunset more :-). Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful views from your world. The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeletealoha,
ReplyDeletethis was a very nice tour of a day in the life of your area, i love this sunset photo best, thanks for sharing it.
help me decide on a photo from my plant fanatic blog, if you don't mind?
Are they your roses, Sylvia? I love that color of melon/orange. The sunset is spectacular - you're lucky to be so close to the water.
ReplyDeleteare they your roses? how beautiful is that shade of peach/blush. i wonder if it has scent.
ReplyDeletelove the pix, as always.
Barb and Ewok, the roses belong to a neighbor across the alley from us, they're just growing all over the fence and even into a nearby tree. It's been hard to capture them because we've had such strong breezes and several of my shots were just too blurry. But every now and then I get lucky. They are such a lovely peach/blush color!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Always appreciated!
Sylvia
very beautiful indeed!
ReplyDeleteThere are many beautiful things in the same post. Congratulations once again.

Beautiful pictures, Sylvia. Wasn't this past weekend wonderful? :)

ReplyDeleteWonderful shots as always, Sylvia. It looks like you still have some snow on your mountains. It's almost all gone from mine, although there was a fresh coat a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteThese stunning snaps just radiate beauty!
ReplyDeleteYou capture heaven and earth so beautifully, Sylvia. Thank you for sharing and being a part of my world.

Seen on My World Tuesday
Such lovely photos, Sylvia. I used to have violets on the mainland. I sure do miss them. I loved seeing your beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the close-ups of the roses and the quotes by Mark Twain.
ReplyDeleteterrific photos, Sylvia. the roses seem to be begging to be sniffed at.:p
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures as always -- Beautiful summer in the PNW! Love the Marie Curie quote. Somehow I never thought of scientists taking such great, child-like pleasure in the outdoors and nature. Guess I need to read a bio of her!
ReplyDeleteIs there still snow on the mountains in the first picture ? then they must be quiet high !
ReplyDeleteLove the roses too !
Very nice, Sylvia! I especially enjoy the sunset pic and the snow covered mountain tops.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful pictures of your world. Thanks, too, for the great quotes. Once again I liked what Mark Twain had to say.
ReplyDeletea beautiful world Sylvia! & of course, excellent quotes as always.
ReplyDeletethe Keats one about the poetry of earth is my favorite & so very true.
I'm glad you've got such pretty skies lately Sylvia, and beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile I'm *still* trying to find a good few minutes to just sit down and chat a while without kids making noise or needing me -- school starts in just a few weeks and I think that might be perfect timing for it!
You live in a world of beauty! Love the quotes by Marie Curie and Rachel Carson.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies and beautiful flowers! A marvelous world you have there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place you live in, Sylvia! love all your photos and quotes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful world, I like your purple violet.
