Finding some pictures for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate was not too much of a challenge provided I limited myself to flowers. So my first post on the subject is floral. I found a couple of other interpretations which I’ll put in a second post.
‘English Rose’ – taken at the Chelsea Flower Show, London
Clivia – taken at the Tropical House at Kew Gardens, London
Orchids and moss – taken at the Chelsea Flower Show
Orchids – taken at the Chelsea Flower Show
Rhododendron – taken at the Chelsea Flower Show – positively fluffy!

Gosh, Denise, I’m very honoured that you’d nominate my blog. Thank you so much! I’m on hols at the moment and thought I’d have bags of time to devote to blogging….BUT…the internet connection here is spasmodic to say the least. Maybe I won’t get much blogging done till I get back home! Best wishes to you and yours for the festive season. Thank you again. Mary 🙂
Don’t worry. There is no obligation. Just want to let you know that I appreciate your team spirit. Have a wonderful holiday!
Thank you 🙂
These pictures are perfect to chase winters dreary cold rainy days away… 🙂
I’m so glad they brought you some joy! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
What beautiful sharp images
Thanks for your encouraging comment re the photos! I had intended to do a second post on the topic but keep losing my internet connection while on hols…very frustrating. Guess I’ll just have to get on with having a fun time at the coast (someone has to do it!). Have a happy Christmas. Mary 🙂
That big rose is stupendous – love your beach house header!
