ReplyDeleteI am glad, we all need something bright at the present time. Keep well Diane
DeleteHi Diane - how lovely to see ... and yes I've just been out and did not go near the sea ... as it's 'freezing' and much colder than I imagined! Gorgeous photos with their borders - love seeing the two type of bluebells ... and the black tulip - special ... thanks for showing us - take care - Hilary
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I managed to get a couple of the black tulip bulbs when we were in Amsterdam, the others were just red and orange pretty but not with the oomph of the black ones. Keep well and stay isolated. Cheers Diane
DeleteGorgeous shots! Love the frames on the photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam hit on this idea by mistake!! keep well Diane
DeleteThey're all beautiful, gorgeous, excellent photos, Diane! I especially like the Calendula, so bright and cheery, which is exactly what we need these days. Thanks! Take care, be safe.
ReplyDeleteI agree Pam, bright and cheery it has to be in these very strange times, You also stay safe, best wishes to you both, Diane
DeleteHi Diane, beautiful flowers and beautifully framed. Are all these growing in your garden? Its nice you have such a big garden to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteYes all photos from the garden, weeds included :-) Take care and keep safe, Diane
DeleteWonderful to see all your beautiful flowers and the lovely frames you have put them in. Hope all is well over there Diane. Stay safe and well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, I have enjoyed doing these frames and I have now got it off to a fine art and quick so it is easy. Keep well Diane

DeleteBeautiful flowers from your garden. Even the last picture is good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, hope all is well with you and you are managing. Take care Diane
DeleteBeautiful flowers, Diane. They look like fine portraits in a gallery. I hope you are coping well during these difficult times.
ReplyDeleteDavid all is just fine here we go out once a fortnight to shop otherwise we have enough to do at home to keep occupied. I try to make time to walk within my 1 km radius and Nigel cycles on his trainer. Hope all is well with you two. Take it easy and stay safe, Diane
DeleteThank you so much for those pretty flowers, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia, hope all is well with you, stay safe Diane.
DeleteLucky one. What a nice flowers. How are you now?
ReplyDeleteHi Aritha, all is well here we have plenty to do in the garden and the house, we have barely noticed lock-down except we are shopping less, only once a fortnight. Hope everything is well with you and the family, take care Diane
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous images, Diane. I love the way you've done those frames - is it a secret?
ReplyDeleteTake great care - it can't go on for ever!
With my very best wishes to you both - - - Richard
I agree it can't go on forever, but I think the rest of this year is going to be a bit topsy turvy!!
DeleteThe frames are easy to do I just played around and hit on the idea. Send me an email if you want to know how :-)
Stay safe and take care, best wishes to you both Diane
Gosh are these all from your garden Diane, must look so gorgeous, spring really is the prettiest season. Sounds like you are working hard in the garden, don't forget to take it easy now and also. Take care both of you and have a lovely weekend 💙
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, yes all from the garden. We are trying to get the vegetable garden planted and it is taking a lot of hard work. The weeds took over in winter and it was too wet to dig early now it is too dry!!! Hope you also have a good weekend and stay safe. Diane
DeleteI Love all your flowers and the frames really accent the shots. But that Wallflower is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteI must get some seed off of that wallflower I just love it. Have a good day, Diane
DeleteBeautiful blooms. IMO black tulips are the most extravagant of flowers. Like velvet.

I am so delighted that I managed to get the bulbs of those black tulips they really are magnificent. Stay safe, Diane
DeleteWhat beautiful flowers! So colorful and happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and the comment much appreciated. Have a good day, Diane
DeleteBEAUTIFUL.....love seeing your flower pics. Loving spring, not caring for the pollen.
ReplyDeleteLuckily for me the pollen does not worry me. It is the biting insects that appear that bug (sorry for the pun) me! Take care Diane
DeleteThe frames you've added here really make the colours pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica having discovered this I am now hooked on flower frames!! Stay safe Diane
