Charlotte's Yellow Marigolds

A sunshine flower
Yellow is the best colour to create enthusiasm for life!

Look at those pretty cut-out leaves

I had to show you Charlotte's pot of yellow marigolds
They bring me joy every time I look at them!

Pick one and put it in a very pretty vase.
This one was given to me by a good friend for my birthday!

If you like to crochet,
crochet a yellow doily and give it as a present.

Isn't the heart pendant pretty?
Such a thoughtful gift.

Be the sunshine in someone's cloud
and bring them a smile today!


I shall be away for a couple of weeks.
Enjoy the sunshine while I'm gone
and I'll see you in July again.

      Marigolds are indeed a cheerful flower to plant and so easy too! Yes, that little vase is so pretty. I do have a fondness for small vases!

      Thanks, Sophia. I saw the weather forecast for the British Isles they predict sunshine and warmth for the south - so that means you will be getting a fair share!

    Hi Sandra,
    I've just come across your blog via a link on Bunny Mummy and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Your photos are just stunning. TRULY stunning!!! Thankyou so much for sharing them. And your lovely poetry to go with them - I've never seen anyone else write their own haiku to accompany their photos. I know I will be popping back to visit often.
    You've even inspired me to do something similar. I have a little blog of my own and post far too many photos on it - maybe they need their own place to live?...
    Thanks again,
    Tina :-)

      Hi Tina! Welcome!
      I'm only just back from a two-week absence, so I'm not sure you'll be popping in here again to this same posting! Thank you for your very kind words! I think that a single blog which covers different areas: like photography and crochet, or other crafts, is completely fine and can work very nicely in the same space - maybe treating just one subject at a time.

      Thanks, Anna! This bright sunshine yellow makes me feel very hot right now! I think I have to photograph something blue or grey or maybe lavender to cool down again! I had a wonderful time away in my home country! Thank you!

      Thank you Annie. I had a wonderful time in England in The Cotswolds area and London. It was so beautifully temperate and not too hot! I've come back to a cauldron here!
