I have collected a few more springtime Instagram photos from my iPhone.
If I don’t hurry up and share them with you soon, it will be summertime(!)

Nothin’ says “springtime” like daffodils –
one of my favorite fragrances from childhood.
They don’t grow too well in our part of Texas;
these were in the floral department
at our local supermarket.
I just had to stop several times and breathe in those memories
of another time and another place…
Next is a sampling of the “Miss Saigon” Dutch iris
we planted in one of our beds.
My mother used to grow Dutch iris,
so these also bring back fond memories. =)
The blooms are rich in color and very delicate.
Obviously, I enhanced this one with some favorite apps
before posting to Instagram!
…And here is another “tewelip”
that was in a bouquet from special friends.
Tulips are lovely at any stage,
from tight buds to the falling-apart phase.
I have some “falling apart” ones to show you later.
…And finally, a tulip and a narcissus
bathed in raindrops…
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Psalm 51:7
Hope this will be a good day for each of you –
and that we all take some time
to slow down and appreciate the beauty that God has placed around us.
See ya later, my friends!
