We had a beautiful weekend (but HOT), so we spent
much of it outside. And, since all the lovely blooms
won't last much longer, I wanted to snap some floral
photos of our area. First stop, my lilies...
Oh, how I love these fellows!
Neil came in Friday night with a huge bouquet for
moi. I decided to put them in a sand bucket, so
we could enjoy them on our patio...
The colors are extraordinary.
We went over to my parents' home for a little grillin'
and my dad's oleander was at it's best...
Just like being in Florida!
We are so fortunate to live on a few miles from
Smith-Gilbert Gardens. The boys love to stroll
through the trees, flowers, shrubs and garden. I
love all of the little birdhouses and feeders...

Good morning friend! :) I love the idea of putting the flowers in a beach bucket to enjoy outside. How cute! The flowers are all gorgeous!
I'm a little jealous of all those flowers. Send some my way. Oh wait, I guess I could purchase some.
Those are gorgeous! I Love the first one and the 4th one with the sun flare... YUM!
Just gorgeous girl! I love the green one! I hope you'll stop by on Friday for my first summer photo challenge. The theme is flowers. You can find out more at http://www.projectalicia.com/2011/05/unveiling-summer-photo-challenge.html
I'm jealous it's been warm there! We've had rainy, windy, cold weather in Seattle! (typical, right? ha ha). Beautiful photos!!
I love the flowers in the bucket - what a fun way to display them! And that picture of the lilies, amazing!

You are surrounded by beauty, Dina! These are all so lovely, but I think my favorite would be that shot of your dad's oleander --gorgeous light! :)
Oh wow! Such beautiful flower photos! I sure would love to take a walk through those gardens.
So pretty! The shot of the flare peeking through the flowers is amazing! Surprisingly, I haven't played around with my macro lens much this spring...I'll have to get on it too!
Oh man, I sure do love the colors in the second bunch!!! They would make me happy every time I looked at them! :)
So peaceful.
The sand bucket is a great idea!

Your tree shot=FABULOUS and oh that boquet of flowers are beautiful, love the sand bucket you put them in! And it's super hot here too. I think my son is so mad at me for keepin him in but I think it's better than heat stroke! LOL
I love the flare (and all the flowers) but I've been trying to get a flare, to no avail . . . nice work!
That oleander with the sun streaming through is lovely. I can feel the warmth. I love summer. Thanks so much for linking up to our crazy days of summer.
your pictures are great!
i was thinking that the bright colors in the flowers were great, but the oleander... the sun... the shot... wow
Beautiful flowers and pictures! Love the lillies shot!
Beautiful photos of so many beautiful flowers! I love the lilies especially. I just bought some lilies myself (my first addition to our front yard), and I'll be planting them this weekend. I hope they'll come to be as beautiful as yours. :)
What a great idea for a vase! :-) Love the bright blue beach pail and the vibrant flowers!
The garden and birdhouse looks absolutely enchanting! What a great place to explore.
