Beauty is nature


I never thought i could take pictures like this...


I just took them....I love flowers in my house. They bring life and beauty inside.



I love having a camera that takes this quality of pictures...



Beauty is all around us and we sometimes take it for granted.....I am still amazed and in love, lately i love them more than before...it's La joie de vivre (love of living)....
N is for Nature in my house...


My favorite flower was growing in my last garden and i miss the color, beauty, smell, giving it to my friends and seeing their eyes smile as i gave them :)




It is The Abraham Darby rose. It is a Cabbage rose.

Picture from David Austin website HERE. You can buy this rose HERE.


What is your favorite flower?

  5. I think more than your beautiful pictures of flowers I like the line "and seeing their eyes smile", eyes smiling make one happy.

  19. what lovely pictures. I too like fresh cut flowers in throughout my home. I'm trying to create a flower cutting garden - so that in the gardening season I can have my own. My fav flower is the Orchid, but I have to have to grow them in pots - the weather in Canada is too cold to plant in the ground.

  45. I love flowers, no one favourite. The white orchid in your photo is a native of North Borneo. Was my dad's favourite, so it holds a special place in my heart.

    Do you use your husband's GPS to drive? I don't have a GPS, but would sure like one when I go to new places cause I am a lousy driver. Am comfortable when I drive to work. But e;se where, oh dear I am lost !!!! LOL

  49. Hi Frenchy,

    I love taking fabulous photos too...I just recently bought a Nikon D90 and it is so easy to use. I've got tons to learn about it but it's taking beautiful pictures of my stuff as I learn more. ♥

    My favorite flower is the PiNk english cabbage rose first and foremost (David Austin roses are divine!)...second flower(s) I love the most would be Gerbera Daisies and Lavender. ♥

    My husband brings me bouquets of roses and I love to dry the heads or pull apart and dry the petals...then I photograph and make digital stuff with them.

    I'm visiting today for Three or More Tuesday...I'd love for you to come by for a visit when you have a moment.

    Have a lovely day...

    Hugs,
    Stephanie ♥

  57. I have several favorite flowers but right now it's a peony. I have a peony bush in my yard and I cannot wait until it blooms. I think my next favorite are daisies. They are so happy, but then I love roses as well! Too many flowers to chose from!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think I like ranunculus. I'm not sure that I spelled it right.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I love a good old-fashioned rose. I had some at my last house that smelled heavenly. They were beautiful, thorny, and only bloomed once, but it was worth it for their perfume!

    ReplyDelete
  60. okay wait..i have a really good camera and i can't get it to take pics like these...i really think it is more about the person taking the pics than the camera itself :)
    great photos...how nice to have such beautiful flowers around the house!

    ReplyDelete
  61. I agree with the other Christy- a good camera does not make a good picture a certainty! Your flowers are lovely. I love love love lilacs. I know that is a bush but nothing says spring to me more than a lovey lilac bush in bloom.
