  1. Yes, I'm first!! Well, if you haven't noticed I am in love with taking pics of flowers right now. Roses are my favorite. I also like the baby carnations (pink) that are in my favorite white vase on my kitchen table as we speak......

    I can't pick a favorite post because I love them all.

    I love the picture at the top of this post!

    Good luck tomorrow!!

    Looking forward to having you as a guest poster on my music blog ;)

  11. I don't know if I could pick just one flower as my favorite. It depends on the time of year. I like the dafodils and tuplips that bloom first in the spring. I love the lilacs that come around the first of summer. Roses are always a classic. Just too many to choose from.
