Carol, happy belated birthday! I hope you had a great day! Your orchids are beautiful, I love the color. Pretty shots from around your Cape Ann. Have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLucky mom! Thanks for sharing your birthday bouquet and all the other beauties (and whimsy) of your world. Looks like life is good at the creative harbor!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, here's a Belated Happy Birthday to you. A year older and wiser and closer to knowing what it's all about - or at least that's what I tell myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift from your son. I too received flowers from my daughters and they meant the world to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! Hope it was fabulous.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos, love them all. Happy belated Birthday Carol and fret not, age is but a number. Missing loved ones that are gone is very hard. It was my son's birthday today and we went to see him. I sang a Happy Birthday to him and a song I sang to him as a toddler. "Momma's little baby loves shortening bread." I know he heard me.:) Again, excellent photos and HBTY and many more.:)

ReplyDeleteWonderful set of images. Beautiful orchids.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow 'jacket' is an extraordinary creation. The guy looks as if he may have to be careful how he moves.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you designed your mosaic, Carol!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the jacket, although it doesn't look exactly comfortable!

ReplyDeleteAh. Great post. Happy birthday. I'm still dealing with bug bites. Taking allergy meds now. It is helping. sigh.
