I like to think that looks can be deceiving...
delicate beauty

snow finally melted except for peaks
still glistening white in the sunshine

beauty worth the wait. :) nice to see you post, barb!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you back Barb! Definitely worth the wait! Don't mind if I join you on the porch for a refreshing snow squall.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Barb - the enormous beauty we see through your eyes is definitely all worth the wait. Enjoy your summers, I have been thinking of you, you have been missed.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see your new post and that life has settled a bit for you with all the change taking place. Love seeing your little Calypso Orchid and the view from your deck. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see those summer flowers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful small stones and beautiful poems!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant to say "photos' not "poems".
ReplyDeleteSnow squalls the second week of June should be illegal. We probably had some, too. If not snow--icebergs.
ReplyDeleteSnow squalls sound nice about now. Those orchids are lovely. Glad you are back. You were missed.
ReplyDeleteIs this your new place Barb? Looks nice.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Beautiful, what a surprise, (for me not you) a snow squall in June.
ReplyDeleteThis first photo I remember in winter......and all white! Now the colour softens everything even with a thin layer of snow.
ReplyDeleteOh that orchid is beautiful, Barb.....so fragile looking yet very hardy.
Hmmm. A snow squall in June? But then, you are 10.0000 feet above sea level. To tell you the truth, I envy your very long spring. You may call it summer but the wildflowers look like spring to me. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh such a sweet flower and such a sweet poem/prose poem. It is colder in Breckenridge than it is in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots.
ReplyDeleteGlorious environment here Barb. Thank you for sharing. (Thanks for stopping by my blog - in answer to your question of whether I would still be in Paris for the finish of the Tour de France: no, I am now back on Australian soil after an amazing 2 months away)
ReplyDeleteWhat delicate beauty. I'll be away in about 10 days - a trip to Iceland. I'll look forward to visiting your blog again when I get back.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh- I so wish I was there!!!
