I love the textures, shapes and colors of your abstract photos. The mind is abstracted and the soul rises to no-named places the more you observe them. Thank you very much for all your flowers this week, they are impressive, very clearly made and in exquisite colors combinations. I shared them on the Pinterest board.

You're right - they are much better than overpriced florists' arrangements.<br /><br />I enjoyed the colors and images in your abstract photos. I tried to take some "intentional camera movement" shots on my Sunday walk, but it didn't work well with my little point-and-shoot. (I probably ought to have set it to manual, but didn't think of it at the time.)<br /><br />Thank you for all the delightful photos.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-59298027443659098162020-02-18T21:39:06.968+01:002020-02-18T21:39:06.968+01:00Thank you!

I would much rather receive a living plant that doesn't die after five or six days! <br /><br />Your crocheted heart is just perfect and I love the tiny butterflies, too. Nice that you did have even a bit of snow. Ours quickly melted even though we had four inches or so. Hope you have a lovely week ahead full of lots of photo opportunities :) Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-77201243715045508632020-02-16T16:08:24.238+01:002020-02-16T16:08:24.238+01:00Hello there, Sarn!

I read about all the windy and rainy storms and flooding in the UK. We have been getting our share of gusty winds and the lake has been closed and all ferry crossings cancelled four times already this year!<br /><br />Luckily, there are lots of lovely things to do on the home-front. Crochet to create, new books to read and interesting documentaries to watch! What more do we need? Maybe a little more exercise?!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-47957803686096668802020-02-16T14:28:11.711+01:002020-02-16T14:28:11.711+01:00What lovely photography Sandra.

I was watching it this week as it was close to the earth and therefore loomed large!<br /><br />We are currently contending with another windy/rainy storm after last weekend's one! No snow though! Your snow shot looked amazing.<br /><br />Hugs, Sarn xxxSarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174058971522723860noreply@blogger.com
