Because we all need a little SUNSHINE in our life, here's a sunny Ranunculus for you.

Happy Thursday!

Photo from the Archives: Poppies

The weather outside is DREADFUL, so how about some pretty poppies (a photo from my archives) to cheer us all up a bit!

The weatherman says "sunny & 100" for as long as we can see. Dreadful.

Hope you enjoy the fun 4th of July holiday weekend! I've got some gardening to do... and will be sure to take a few dips in the pool, too!

Occasionally farmers in the area will grow sunflowers, and let me tell you, they are my FAVORITE of all the local crops grown. These photos are from 2009, taken in a LARGE field of blooms.

Gorgeous, don't you think!?

Photo from the Archives: Tulip Field

This evening I was looking for something specific in my photo archives. Eventually I found what I was looking for, but got sidetracked several times along the way by images that were either filled with great colors, of favorite places, or sparked fun memories, and well ... I just thought it might be fun to share some of them with you now and then!

So, I think I'll start a new "thing" here on the blog that I'll refer to as "Photo from the Archives". I know, clever, right? *grin*

I'm not going to schedule it for any particular day of the week or month, or with any sort of frequency -- it'll just be a random sort of thing.  I may not say a lot about the images I share ... perhaps just a description, or location, or year. Even so, I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do!

And oh by the way, you'll find "Photo from the Archives" as a new category over in the list on the right side of the blog.

I took the photo on this post in 2003 in Skagit Valley, Washington around the time of the tulip festival, at one of the many tulip farms in the valley. The flower fields are an amazing thing to see in the spring, and I had a wonderful time visiting the fields with Dad's sister who lives in the area. Hope we can do it again sometime, this time with Alan along for the ride!
