Blooming time

BC is having some spectacular weather, with temperatures reaching above summer normals. Everywhere you go, people are happy, and contented, commenting on the beautiful sunshine. After the shock of a few cold and rainy days, we are appreciating this sun even more.
It will come to a end, but while it lasts even the flowers are looking better than they have for a long time. We went for a walk on Sunday, and Gar sat on the bench in the park, while I shot flower photos to my hearts content.
It was peaceful and relaxing, and we needed it. A busy work week, a overnight guest, and just life, things that happen to everyone. It was so peaceful to be together, and sit in the sun.
I had met a new blogging buddy on Saturday. Carolynn, from a Glowing Ember, who suggested that we meet at the garden centre. We had a great time checking out the plants, shooting photos, and discovering how much we liked each other's company.
While I express myself best with photography, Carolynn weaves the most amazing words to describe a event. So click on the links above to read the story of our day. Her writing is eloquent, thoughtful, and interesting. A new blogging buddy, sunshine, and warm temperatures, what more could I ask for?
