In the Vase, On the Screen, Gereberas!

After last week's floral post, I have lingered a week, because I liked it so much. And it did a lot of good for the visitors to, which was the purpose.
Friday and Saturday were desperately bad days. No kidding. They leave a mark. 4 different homes in 10 months can do that to anyone. Not much of a picnic.
But I bought some real gereberas in the market on Saturday morning, because at this time of year, there's no better colour flowers to have around you. Then I changed my desktop photo from purple iris macro to a macro of gereberas taken a year ago.
Next, the vase next to the pc while I was working - for a few minutes before I decided to shoot the pics. Later, again, in the dark with flash.
Sunday was a better day. Much better. Exceptionally long, active and tiring. A lot of new photos, some next post.

Wonderful flowers; posted (dare I say) by a wonderful man. I'm sorry to hear of the bad days but they are in the past now....I hope all is well at this moment for you.4 hours ago my pc froze on me; I tried not to panic and now all is well again. How apt that the first blog I visit should be yours and I am greeted with flowers.
Many (((hugs)))

Beautiful colours! (I like the 1st one best). I'm sure Sunday was just the beginning of a lot of much better days.

Beautiful and cheering - and I like the glimpse of your desk too - I like to be able to picture where my friends live and work! Spring is tiptoeing in here - maybe by the time I get back from my trip to Michigan there will be a crocus or two!

Nothing like putting some color to our days. Your desktop looks lovely and peacefull, too.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but that's not a vase LOL it's a jar. What was in it? olives? mermalade? mmmmm Just a joke. The flowers are very beautiful and you know I love you a lot.
Kisses and hugs from the frog, I mean, Ani

It's very gratifying that what is, let's face it, just a few simple photos can give all of the visitors (me included) a good positive boost in a colour rush.
Fab, yes, just do it! The association of Analia with a frog is really upsetting me! Trouble is, how to then implement it so that I could see it?
Tea, could there be a match in the making?
Ani, it IS a vase!! Check out last night's mail.
And to everyone, kisses, hugs, beijinhos e abraços

Fantastic! I'm always impressed by your floral photos. I hope you are feeling better, even today. I love how you included the shot of the desktop image along side the vase. I can't imagine having to move that many times. May you find a space to rest, reflect and be peaceful. Thanks for commenting on Janis at get zapped.
