    Spectacular first image Sylvia and are those what they call 'black tulips'? It's been very grey in Perth today also and now I've lost my voice, some say that's a good thing haha!
    btw your new header is a scream!

    So nice to be greeted by these beautiful photos this morning. It's been raining here most of the night. One of those spring rains that give the plants a little boost. Where are those tulips growing? They're spectacular! Happy Monday, Sylvia!

    Wonderful shots. I love the cloud formation above the snow capped mountain range. The flowers are so beautiful and a glorious golden sky too. I always enjoy the quotes you select.

    All your pictures are splendid but oh, the snow on the mountains and that massed planting of tulips just captured my heart.

    It may be grey where you are but here it is blowing a gale and anything that is not mailed down is blowing about, horizontal rain, cold, power outages . . . quite a start to our winter.

    Hope you are having a much better time.
