{snapshots} when all else fails … flowers

Last week I got a little cabin fever and knew I had to get out and take some photos. Trouble is I didn’t know where to go ~ having to be home when the smalls walked through the door at the end of the day curtailed the adventures somewhat.

So I headed to the tried and true ~ the local gardens. As it turns out, there have been lots of changes ~ whole garden beds ripped out and replaced ~ but there were some spots of colour around which naturally left me longing for spring all the more. {A wet and miserable weekend has also contributed to this.}

The camellias are flowering ~ so many stunning varieties.

Ever get the feeling someone has been there before you ~ I imagine a little girl sitting here and arranging these in a little path.

This little pink flower was just beautiful ~ I love this simple blossoms. {I also shared a little yellow pom pom flower on Saturday taken nearby}.

These were part of a purple and white carpet of flowers. Just beautiful. They also got “polaroided”.

And, after a cold and soggy day watching football, I made soup and this cheesy bread for dinner. I made a dough in the bread machine and used a Philadelphia flavoured tub with some added garlic for the spread. Was really quite simple and delicious. Got a big thumb’s up from the Mr.

I’ve also been working on some more timelapses ~ am absolutely hooked ~ and taking some film photos. The sun is shining today and hopefully the lovely weather continues.

Here’s to a creative week!
