Because I'm unwilling to let go of spring and summer, today's post will be a continuation including a surprise snow shower we had a few days ago! Those big white splashes are NOT a camera problem, they are the HUGE snowflakes we had! I was happy to see them go once I had gotten a shot of them!
Have a wonderful, beautiful week!
Blogger is having one of it's junky days and I can't leave a comment on most blogs -- instead I get a message urging me to join Blogspot???? I'll keep trying.

    This is the season when Winter and Spring do battle. Spring will win but it might take a while.

    Very nice! I guess when you live in a area with real seasons, it can be a real battle between winter and spring. It's a good thing spring always wins!

    I always love your photos and quotes. That beach one called my name today --since it's COLD here... I'm SO ready for spring!!!!

    Hugs,

    Hi Sylvia, what a contrast of photos, gray and cold, compared to the color of the flowers, then heat, blue and sea, of course I'll take the latter, sea and more sea.

    Your snow picture is very nice, but I prefer the other pictures. It's very windy and cold here today -- I'm ready for warm Spring breezes.

    Those snow flakes are huge and I don't blame you for wanting them gone. No slipping and sliding for you and your pooches.
    Love the spring photos.

    Be well and Happy, Sylvia.
    cheers :)

    Hi Sylvia, I love how you went from the big snow flakes to the gorgeous flowers. That is how our winter has been, cold and warm. Your photos are all lovely and the scenery is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, have a lovely week!

    I do hope we get at least some snow in the air in our fast approaching winter. Autumn chill id most definitely here already.
    Love your summer scenes and soon it will be upon you once again. As we get older, the months just fly past.

    Thank you for your kind and caring words of comfort my friend.

    Lovely photos and quotes you got there. In reality, i wish you can send here some cold you have been overwhelmed with for so long.We are just starting our dry season, very hot and humid, and our temperature soared abnormally to 34.5C last weekend! That is scary when we reach April, nobody might be brave enough to get out of the buildings. Even at night it is so suddenly hot at home. So we will be grateful for some cold winds to come!

    You are truly the Queen of Memes, and do it well. Blogger drives me nuts sometimes too--having an episode now where I can type a comment but the "post" or "publish" button doesn't show.

    Lovely -- first quick glance I thought you were continuing summer (beautiful Pacific Northwest summer) and then I remembered that first picture and the white spots,and I was sitting there trying to figure out what they were when I thought to myself ("doh, read the words, you idiot").... aha! I find I do that quite a bit on your posts. I'm so eager to look at your beautiful photos, I don't read the words until after I've gazed at them for a while. (That's just the opposite of what I do most of the time! A testimony to your beautiful photography!)

    What beautiful captures, each so different, visually. I like the varied presentations of weather.

    The floral capture is gorgeous, and the ocean scenes...calming and lovely.

    There is much wisdom in your quotes this evening, and quite the juxtaposition in seasonal photos!

    It feels like a good time to be reminded of warmth by seeing your Summer pix. Great quotes always need to remember how much I like your blog

    Hahaha, those snow flakes look like hail or chalk.

    Yeah, the weather is weird. Today its 80 degrees and it will be 30 degrees cooler in the next days.

    Enjoy your day!

    All beautiful images Sylvia, but love the first one the best mainly because it's so darn hot here in Perth that the sight of snow would be just fantastic! Can you believe we're almost half way through the week again!
