....Mimi Charmante: in bloom

21 February 2010

in bloom

Seeing as the weather has been lovely this weekend, I went to one of our local nurseries today to pick up some seeds and see what was in bloom. I thought I would share a few photos as there was quite a number of things to shoot~

Have a marvelous week,

robin laws said...: oh dang..i don't know how you do it. honestly it was mainly you who inspired my last post... these photos are terrific. i am ashamed to admit i haven't taken one single spring photo yet. none. it makes me sad. but i just can't do it! i feel so busy and taking photos can consume and entire day so easily..an entire weekend even! you know what i mean i know you do. i stayed in the house all weekend. yep it's true. i am painting my studio a wonderful baby blue mind you..and today i am cleaning carpets. i can't multitask. i wish i could but for now....i need to go and start the carpet cleaning machine. see you soon though...that makes me infinitely happy.; February 22, 2010 at 7:53 AM
