For Mandarin Orange Monday The story behind this cute little 'cone' flower is that it has lasted in that glass since October 2012 or earlier ~ It is amazing me. |
For Monday Mellow Yellows The story behind this photo above is that I love sunflowers and angels among other 'treasures' ~ There is also a large print above these two items of Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Sunflowers bring a smile and joy to my heart. With all the snow we are having I am thrilled with a bit of color.

I love your snow pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have had snow off and on all day....little mini blizzards then the sun comes out and all is still.
Not much accumulation this weekend though...what we had yesterday mostly melted so I'd say about 2-3 inches or so. Tomorrow goes to 40 degrees so it'll just melt and be muddy again ! :)
Interesting varities of pictures you have here and nice haiku.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting:)
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog; I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. If you visit Stratford-upon-Avon in the spring, I feel sure you won't be disappointed. I would love to go back to England for another visit -- not sure when or if we'll be able to do that.
I love your snow mosaic; we did get snow here in N.C. yesterday (coming down hard at times) but none of it stuck. I also like your photo of the sunflowers in the pretty blue and white vase and your iceberg haiku. :)
Have a wonderful week!

Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think the flower needs in the meantime no more water. ;-)
Thanks for visiting Bridgit's Bell and leaving a lovely comment. I see we are very close geographically. I am just up the coast near Portsmouth. I have enjoyed looking at your blog and reading the haiku's, an art form which I greatly admire.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, the sunflowers are my favorite. We are having snow showers and sun off and on today. I think I was spoiled last winter with very mild temps. I am ready for Spring now. I can picture you sweet dog laying by the warm fireplace. Lovely post, have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...good quote. Well, I do understand the weather of the day as I'm just north of you and it's been snowy and windy almost like the blizzard of last weekend. I don't think I want to give up the weekends to these weather systems even if the mid-week was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaic. Enjoy the week:)
ReplyDeleteA lovely winter collage and the flower photos are so bright and cheerful. You Haiku says it right for dealing with some winter days,,, a great creative mix you have shared with us again,,,, :-)
ReplyDeleteas much as I adore color...I am learning to LOVE the stark monochromatic.
ReplyDeletex..x
very smart dog ^^
ReplyDeleteOctober 2012 -- seriously?? wow! ^^
sunflowers and angels are a lovely combination
stunning winter collage! I especially like the leaded-glass image.
ReplyDeletewell, we have something in common other than blogging- sunflowers! years ago, a student told her mother how much I love Van Gogh's sunflower painting so they gave me a calendar that had 12 months of his paintings. After the year was over, I tore the Sunflowers month out and hung it on the wall above my computer desk. :)

It does look like a winter wonderland at your house. Very different than the view out my window of a green golf course. I like the quote you ended with! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your very pretty winter mosaic - but please keep the snow and ice up your way. :D Don't want any of it here - people in my area can't deal with that kind of weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and nice comment.
Have a great week.
I really like the leaded glass window! We had one in the living room when I was growing up. I'd love to have it now.
ReplyDeletethe flowers certainly light up places in your home. have a great week!
ReplyDeletenice pics ..i like the pic in the glass
ReplyDeleteI just love your collection of photographs depicting glass, ice and snow....very dramatic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful haiku there!
ReplyDeleteYes - it's looking like the winter that has eluded us these past few years has returned. Love the color and warmth of the flowers.
ReplyDeleteSeems like ya'll are getting a lot of snow and then some! Well, at least your awesome photos tell of signs of spring that will be coming soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Monday! Cheers!
The flower certainly brightens the day! Hope sunny weather is headed north.

Hi Carol, you seem to have a very long winter. Others already have their snowdrops, crocuses growing now, I can't imagine how it is for animals who are not provided with heaters, haha! Just come over to my blogs and you will be given some warmth with my blooms.
ReplyDeleteYour winter wonderland mosaic is terrific, Carol! I can feel the cold just by looking at the images. I love sunflowers too, and grow some every summer. Have a creative week, and warm, week!
ReplyDeleteLove your sun flower picture ! I have enough of snow, lol !
ReplyDeleteWhen you finally spot that iceberg, be sure to let us know! (Either a haiku or a drawing will be fine.)
ReplyDeleteCrow and Iceberg
I just love the snowy collage! That is a smart little dog to lie by the hearth!
ReplyDeleteBear hibernate
ReplyDeleteavoiding the iceberg
copy that
Great haiku and picture.
That sweet little cone flower totally charmed me. So tenaciously it hangs on to life.
ReplyDeleteThe iceberg inspiration for Carpe Diem's daily haiku is outstanding. The dog comfortable repose is a nice little twist.
Your yellows are so cute! Love the tiny fish!
ReplyDeleteZoe should be a Mensa member!
ReplyDeleteLove your winter views Carol, and that doggy is pretty smart laying by the fire!
ReplyDeleteThe photos all go well together in the first shot. Makes me want to look deeper.
ReplyDeleteAre you becoming a little snow weary, Carol? Wouldn't be surprised with what I see on the news about your weather woes. Very creative (!) selections of perspectives for capturing the snow.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely snowy scenes.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteI love your mosaic....the liner quality of the pictures is right up my alley. And your still lives...they are wonderful. Cannot believe that flower is still going strong. Nice post. genie
ReplyDeleteI love the view through your windows, although I wouldn't want to be out there :-) Was it the sunflowers that took you to our pret-a-vivre farmers' market? :-) Have a nice week you two.
ReplyDeleteCarol, both you and your little dog are very smart.
ReplyDeleteLovely pics!
