Beautiful Flowers A photo essay

It has been raining so much here lately, that we can't get all our yard work done. So yesterday I took a short ride to a Catering hall where they have weddings. They had the whole place lined with beautiful flowers. I am sure that they look even prettier when the sun is shinning on them. But, since we are expecting rain all week, I figured I better get some pictures while I still could enjoy their beauty.

Pansies

Pretty photos! With the petals from the flowering tree on the ground around the tulips it looked as if a wedding had taken place outside. I love the color of the pansy in the first photo...gorgeous!

What a beautiful group of photos, Carol! I especially like to see raindrops on flowers so this was great! I hope your weather clears up soon, but I think some of the best photos are taken either just before or just after the rain. I enjoyed your photo essay very much! 10 for U!

what a pure beautiful collection of flowers
lynn a. May 7, 2009, 11:48pm EDT
Carol, these are just beautiful photos, and I did enjoy the pictures very much. These do look like exquisite gardens. I know the feeling about the rains since we've gone through the same thing. We were fortunate to get our vegetable garden planted right before the rains started. So far nothing has been beat down. A rain tomorrow has the potential, but if luck holds out, we'll get through that one too. I do hope you can get your flowers in soon.
