You Capture - Flowers

This week's theme was a little easy and thereby irresistible.

All these shots are no more than a month old - I LOVE shooting flowers!

The last few are last week's captures (it's rained all week this week!)

Aliums ~ simply stunning, but so short lived :(

Pear blossom

Elderflower (heralding our supposed summer..!)

Lupins

Paeonies (beautiful 'double' ones!)

My poor paeony bushes have not endured all the wind and rain well ~ their glorious blooms bowing sadly down and hiding their heads in the grass :( ~ Any tips??

My other bush however seems a lot more robust and is really spendid to notice as you draw up to the house!

But not all the beauty to be seen is in the planted variety ~ I really love some of the 'weeds' on my lawn..

Not only are the so daintily pretty, but the bees love them too!

Sometimes we miss the minor beauties in life, because we are too busy focusing on the more obvious..

Remember to bend down and see life in detail...

Often the best things in life are right at the end of our fingertips toes!!

To see more beautiful flowers this week, head on over to Beth's ~ see you there!
