I loved the prompt "Petels".  I have hundreds of pictures to choose from.  This was a good week and thank you to all the well wishers from last week.  It did lift my spirits and things are getting better :)
Our mornings are cold, like in the low 50's but the sun is out and by noon we are in the 70's which is a wonderful temperature range ... not too hot and not too cold.  Wishing all of you warm sunshiny days :)

Oh Andrea, these are all so beautiful - I love this post! My faovrite image is of the poppies and the step stool. Are the flowers in the first collages from your garden? What a wonderful collection - oh the bleeding heart! I tried to grow it here, but of course it didn't work. Then I discovered a native form of bleeding heart, called Pacific bleeding heart, which is used to survive on low to none summer water - it simply goes dormant then and reappears in the cooler season. First time I'm trying it and I hope it will make it. Your pink lupines are fantastic. All of these photos were such a joy to see - thank you!

That is one giant hibiscus. Those petals look like the size of dinner plates. It's gorgeous Andrea. And you have so many beautiful flower photos in this post. I like how you have some of them organized by color. And one of those sunflowers looks like a smiling face. But sun flowers often make people smile so how appropriate. I hope you're having a really lovely week so far. hugs-Erika

It is amazing to me, Andrea, that you are able to retrieve so many suitable images, week after week, and they always fit the theme perfectly. You must have a very well organized filing system! Every picture this week represents beauty and lifts the spirit. Hugs - David
