How about a splash of Summer? Pics!

[Snowwark]

Let's brighten the place up a bit, shall we? :)

Winter seems to have a stranglehold on us, and as pretty as the snow can be, I'm more then ready for some colour! Are you? :)

Post some of your favourite garden pics (whether we've seen them before or not), and we'll try and give a lift to all our Buds ! :)

Morning Glory vine from this past summer.

Those morning glories took my breath away!

[Tulirose]

Great idea to chase away the Winter Blahs!
..... (second only to planning a trip to WDW - which I am doing, BTW, for April! YAY!!)

Did I ever happen to mention that I just LOVE Peonies?!

[Snowwark]

You love peonies, Tulirose? No, I don't think you've ever mentioned that before...:p ;)

Beautiful pics, thank you!! :D

Still in my Blue period, Delphiniums.

Even with my cable access, these pictures froze my computer!! :eek: But it was definitely worth it once I finally got to see them.... especially Mary's New England Summer! What a HOOT!!!! :hyper: :hyper: ::yes::

[Snowwark]

ROTFLOL Mary!!! :teeth: Which one is you, and more importantly, are you winning? :smooth:

Great pics, Mary, beautiful, and the cat looks nice too! ;)

Vanessa, I love your yard, and your grasses are so lush and healthy looking! :)

I love those pansy angels!!

Deb - I still say that you should seriously look into becoming a professional photographer. Not only are your plants magnificent but the way you photograph them is just stunning!

Okay - Dreaming of springtime and springtime brings..... DAFFODILS!!!

Everyone has such great and glorious pics!

Especially you, Mary! :teeth:

[Snowwark]

Bravo everyone, these are gorgeous!! ::yes:: :)

Beautiful rose, Deb, and thank you for your "blue" irises...lol. :) I love how you do the edges on your pics, but haven't been able to figure out how to duplicate that on mine.

Tulirose, your daffodils are great! A splash of spring! :sunny: Can it really be that far off?

Vanessa, those are lovely! :) Is that the garden you had to move for the addition?

My new hydrangea, as it started to bloom.

[Tulirose]

These flowers and gardens and grasses and planters and kitty have really taken my winter doldrums away. Thank you all for posting such great photos. I want to see more, more, more!

Following are my two dahlias received from the DIS Flower Exchange, courtesy of SocererMickey. Thanks again Julie!

Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush. Makes me homesick for Texas in spring.

[DebºoºS]

Thanks for all the kudos, I just love taking pics.
I'm loving this thread. Really brightened my very morbid past few days to see all of your beautiful pics. Had a biopsy Monday, won't know the results for a week. So this really has brought my spirits up, thanks Buds!

Not summer but better than this winter.

Beautiful, Deb, and my best wishes for a good health report.

Bobbi:D

[Tulirose]

Praying for a clean report for you Deb.

[Snowwark]

Deb, good thoughts and a prayer for you, for a clean bill of health, dear Bud. :hug:

Your pictures are stunning, thank you so much! :)

Katholyn, thank you for adding the gorgeous Texas bluebonnets and paintbrushes! :) :)

Buds, you have some great pics here!!! ::yes::

[TimNDansMom]

Everyone's pictures are so welcome as I gaze out my front window at the mountains of snow! They really brightened my day! ::yes::

Best wishes for a clean bill of health, Deb! :)

[amid chaos]

Hoping for some good news, Deb.

How do you guys get your pictures smaller? Do you shrink them before you load them to the photo gallery?

[DebºoºS]

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/p53b140ede29fd8eab91674fcc4b43a32/fbe9a12c.jpg

Very true Bobbi! He's got something good to howl about today. :teeth:http://community.webshots.com/s/image7/9/5/32/90790532beYxwm_ph.jpg

[marydmjj]

Thank God Deb. I've been thinking about you.

[DebºoºS]

Thanks Mary, the DIS F&G board has been my garden this week. A place to come and get away from it all.

As gardeners it's hard not to spend time in the sun. Even after this i'll be out there on the first sunny day but I won't let myself burn anymore.
Ladies, check your legs front and back top to bottom for any new bumps or marks. It's most commonly found on womens legs! Here I have been pouring over my face all these years looking for cancer. Mine was on the back of my leg in a hard to spot place. It was classic melanoma and ugly. Men get it in their upper body between their shoulder blades.

[Snowwark]

WooHoo Deb!!!!! :Pinkbounc

Thank goodness, what wonderful news!:)

What a relief for you!! :)

About three years ago I had to get a cancerous growth removed from the end of my nose. It left me with one crocked nostril, and a little 3/4 " scar, but that's all....whew....

Your pics are SO beautiful!!!!!! ::yes::

http://worldzone.net/anime/snwark//pinkpeony2.jpg

I think this has been one of our nicest threads ever!! :)
