Friday's Flower Fantasies

The wind is blowin'

It's cold and snowin'

And, while the plan is...

(Was?)

To bundle up, hike to the stables and hug my horse this morning...

I find myself goofing around in iPhoto...

Looking for a new tropical flower picture, to grace the desktop of my computer.

So when I sit down to [allegedly] do some work, I can begin by gazing dreamily at an oh, so, pleasing tropical flower...

Conjuring sights and sounds a world away from my snowy mountain top.

That got me wondering if you ~ yes, you ~ I'm talking to you...

Might enjoy a Zen moment, too! :)

* I photographed these pretty girls in their happy home at the Kula Botanical Gardens on the island of Maui ~ a magical place if ever I've seen one.

PS: Curious as to the names of these tropical beauties? Me, too! I haven't a clue.
