    Lovely colours to cheer up a very gloomy day here, with howling gales, snow and below freezing temperatures

    Your gorgeous macro flower shots blow me out of the ballpark. I cannot believe my eyes sometimes. You are so talented at what you are doing. I’m tickled that you keep sharing these beauties with us. If I were one of these tiny little wild violets I would be thinking....please don’t step on me :-) As an afterthought...I have not been able to get that darn Tiny Tim and the tune to his Tiptoe through the Tulips out of my head...it is still blasting away in my brain :-) I keep thinking that he got married on the Johnny Carson Show to some one-of-a-kind gal. Do you remember anything like that? genie

    Hi Linda,

    Some lovely shots of one of the most beautiful and delicate wild flowers. Unfortunately, I fear that many of these more delicate flowers will suffer in the sudden cold snap we are having here in the UK. Much of the North of the country is under a foot or so of snow and down here in the South, temperatures are falling to freezing at night. A far cry from the 20 degree temperatures of last week!

    How wonderful these humble flowers are. I bet they are very fragrant too...
    Lovely captures, Lindy Lou

    I know some people consider these weeds in their lawn, but I always love seeing them pop up in the spring. Lovely images.

    Hello Lindy.
    Beautiful collage / beautiful pictures you show of violets.
    Violets are a very nice little harbinger of spring that is both beautiful and smells great.
    The weather here is sunny but bitterly cold - DMI (weather forecast) has pledged up to + 10 degrees today.
    Wishing you a good Maundy Thursday.
    Hugs Hanne Bente

    So cute!
    I find wild Violets so intreresting, since they come in so many shadows of purple...apparently where I live they grow only in dark purple :-(

    Oh so perfect and so springlike. We had a yard full of them (not necessarily always by choice but by happy accident) when we lived in Oregon.

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
