Photographing my garden one last time

I was sitting on my deck this weekend and realized this is the last chance I'll be able to take photos of my flowers in bloom.  Each of these flowers, bushes, plants were placed in the ground by my hands.  They've bloomed for several years now but this year they were bigger and brighter than ever. 









I'm looking forward to learning about what flowers grow best in Nevada.  But, I'll miss my year round blossoms in my Rhode Island garden.

The scent of summer - OM [one moment] meet up #54

It's been quite a week. When I began to think about this post, there were several "moments" that I could have focused upon. All negative and not anything I'd want to relive in any capacity, I pressed myself to reach deeper for something positive to surface.  My moment that made me breath in deeply and then exhale with a smile, was twice noticing the scent of lilacs wafting in the air:  once when I was walking Sophie and another when my windows were open and a breeze swept through my bushes.

The fresh scent of summer lilacs. Ahhhhhhhh!  Such a small thing in a week of great emotion and negative energy.  See, it does help to stop and smell the flowers.

I hope you had a good week. Did you have a moment filled with summer scents?

Have a wonderful weekend!
