As I stand and look out the window, the snow is falling heavily, clinging to the cars, the bushes, trees and grass. Covering everything within it's reach giving it a softness, a whiteness, and a purity....at least until the snowplows hit the roads and Toby frolics in the yard.
Stopped by the grocery store yesterday to pick up needed supplies before this latest snow storm landed...and one thing that was on my "need" list was more flowers (along with milk, eggs & TP, I can get along without the milk and the eggs, but definitely not the TP). And I wasn't disappointed, there were loads of beautiful bouquets bursting with spring color. Purples, reds, yellows, pinks, whites, any color that hit your fancy. I could have taken them all....but fortunately, my better sense took over and I only came home with 3...one purple, one red & one yellow.
I think this flower is "stock"....but not totally positive. But whatever it is, I love the multi-petaled flower heads. Added Kim Klassen's texture "Sybil".
And more tulips...this time in red.
And how could I resist these sweet miniature daffodils.....
Something else I picked up at the grocery store was this double chocolate muffin....I just couldn't resist, but I only bought one, I could have picked up a 4 pack, but I resisted. And you wonder why my weight is an issue.....duh!! And that is the last of the orange tulips.
My sweet blogging friend, Nancy, over at A Rural Journal has started a new meme today entitled "Tuesday Muse", the only requirement being to link an image with texture....any texture. No problemo for this lady...I do love textures, I really do.
And also linking to Kim Klassen for her weekly Texture Tuesday....how handy both are on Tuesday.
Thanks to all for your sweet comments you left on yesterday's post about Brie....it truly brightened her day.
"Accept everyone, including yourself, without judgement. We are all doing the best we can. If we knew how to do or be any better, we would.
And PS....I stopped reading "The Sacred Scripture" by Sebastian Berry....too depressing for this time of year. Maybe later.
Until next time.....
These are beautiful. I love the pink flower. I think the petals looks so velvety to the touch. Brilliant!

Oh, these are all so so beautiful!! Yes that first one is stock and they smell so heavenly and the bees just love 'em! I love all your edits on those cute little daffodils, the last is my favorite, well I do really love chocolate too! Think I'll go make a chocolate sheet cake....
ReplyDeleteyou are right my friend - the florist in me - says yes to stock - so cool. they are gorgeous blooms. i love flowers. ( :
ReplyDeletecalling for snow around here tonight - we will see??!
I think if I had to choose between flowers and TP -- hmmmm. Lol. Lovely editing and post as always Deanna. So happy you could join in on Tuesday Muse today. xo
ReplyDeleteExquisite photos. All of them. Flowers should be an essential, right up there with TP! You are too cute. Hope Toby has fun out in the snow, but photograph it first!
ReplyDeleteOh, Deanna, these are all so beautiful! And yes, I'm with you, I'm also all for flowers and chocolate! :-)
ReplyDeleteSeems when it snows everyone buys milk, eggs, bread....as if the whole city is gonna make french toast!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your photography! So very beautiful, esp the 1st, so light & airy!
ReplyDeleteThat snow storm was supposed to dump on us, but mother nature shifted the winds & kept it south. We may only get 1-3 inches tonite.
ReplyDeleteWhen it snows~it dumps, eh?
Looks like "french toast" for dinner thanks to Kathy's suggestion?
Lovely photos and editing!
ReplyDeleteThe purple flower is quite lovely, but I am in love with the orange and it has served you well. I am so proud that I currently have 2 boxes of Thin Mints in the freezer and NO desire to eat them. Thank you Will Power, you are a true gentleman when you want to be. (I avoid the muffin area at all costs - there is no sticking those in the freezer)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely flowers!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful love those purple ones gorgeous
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Deanna.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the first one.
Wonderful softness and color.
What gorgeous photos and I love, love the smell of stock! I think my favorite of these is the last one and I just happen to have a batch of Triple Chocolate Muffins in the oven right now! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteyes stock; I LOVE them. Not only do they look so good but they SMELL fabulous! Wonderful photos you made Deanna
ReplyDeletethe chocolate muffin KILLED me! :) love what you do with flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour textured images are gorgeous, and the choclate muffin hmmm... looks irresistable.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth watered at that last picture. Or maybe it was the muffin. Either way I loved my visit today! I participated in Nancy's Tuesday Muse today too!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely... I almost never buy myself a bouquet, but when I do it always cheers me! Your textured photo is soft and lovely... I created my first ever textured image today and shared over at Nancy’s as well…
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm quite sure I can smell that beautiful stock - it's just gorgeous with the texture you used.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful...wow, maybe I need to hit the grocery store up for a few bright spots of spring too...might improve my mood!
ReplyDeleteYour textures are perfect for each flower in each picture....You have a real talent in setting up your display for your photography sessions as the shots always come out so lovely.....
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your area is getting pounded again with snow but sounds like you got the needed supplies including that muffin which looks delicious....oh my weakness......Stay warm....
all gorgeous flower shot miss deanna. those color are a sight for sore eyes. and i love, love the little vignette you set up with your muffin. beautiful!!
ReplyDeletecan I come and see all these beauties --Oh my goodness which is my favorite -- all the photo are lovely and prefect O..and your texture Tuesday theme images is wonderfully done..
ReplyDeleteHugs
I'll have another muffin, please ... Happy to be home and back in touch with you, my friend! Beautiful flowers. How did we keep our sanity in winter before we started photographing flowers?
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty with their textures (and without). The chocolate goes really well with the flowers.....but then chocolate goes well with anything!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this little setup you did with your muffin. Everything is just perfect in it, and your texturing is just right with it!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful photos here my friend. Those pretty flowers have me smiling. It is crazy when I watch the news and see all the snow around the country when its so nice and warm here. I will be singing a different tune in a couple of months when its 110 degrees outside.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
