A Plethora or a Profusion?

What would you consider this lovely grouping of flowers to be? I love seeing all the red geraniums on the porch of the Perry Hotel in the summer, they do a nice job of keeping it really colorful. There are tables here and you can enjoy a cool (or hot) drink out on the porch and watch the world go by---or wait for someone who's shopping downtown! :)

Bright Beauty

I love bright colors and these flowers are just beautiful. Another thing that makes me smile today! If you would like to see these for yourself, they are on the corner of Lewis and Rose Streets in Petoskey, right next to the Perry Hotel.

Spring is springing up!

I love flowers, and hyacinths are one of my favorites. The deer won't eat them, they smell amazing, and they are so cheery and bright. You can always tell how far we are into Spring we are by what flowers are blooming. Right now, the daffodils are almost done, the hyacinths are blooming, and the tulips are starting. Gorgeous! I wish we had smell-a-puter for you all to enjoy these today!

Can you Imagine?

Having your front yard look like this in the Spring? Wouldn't that be lovely? This is a front yard of a lucky homeowner in Petoskey who has a carpet of blue every spring. So pretty!

Stained Glass -- #5

These 2 panels are part of a 4-panel screen of stained glass and wood. It has beautiful flowers of Spring on it, crocus on one side, Lady-slippers on the other, and the trillium and the daffodil shown here. This piece also has slices of polished agate and Petoskey stones, as well as a large tiger eye that is gorgeous! This is truly a work of art.
