Flowers all around Me

~Monochrome Monday on Wednesday is just below~

My ornamental pear is just about to come into full bloom...

These tulips in my front yard have taken their time but, as you can see, they'll be up soon...

These tulips outside the Barnes & Noble bookstore have come into full bloom.

*The flowers all around me
give me hope,
at least for now.

Ruby Tuesday

These are photos of the very last blooms of summer. I found the zinnias in my neighbor's front garden. You'll notice in the second photo the zinnia on the right is fading. The celosia in the bottom photo were sunning just outside the Administrative Building on the college campus where I teach.

I wish everyone a HAPPY RUBY TUESDAY!

Have fun posting anything red you like. And don't forget to visit the other participants - they love to have visitors, just as you do!



Oh and it just occurred to me... in a couple of weeks we'll start to post RED for the holidays! Oh boy, that's gonna be fun!

Also Sepia Scenes posts at 5 o'clock EST on Wednesday evening for Thursday.
