Here are some photos I took when I went to my acupuncture doctor yesterday. This community garden was near to her parking lot and I went over after my treatment and snapped these photos. I couldn't resist.
The colourful flowers stood tall and were beckoning me come and stay awhile. Although the sky had been overcast, the sun peeked out as if to say it wanted me to see the garden in all it's splendour.

If you missed my update on food relief in the Horn of Africa, please read my previous post. Also consider leaving a word of encouragement for Jonah. Thank you so much!

Hi Penny..beautiful flower and mosaic. It's hard to pass up flowers. I didn't get as many in this year because the leftover seeds may of accidently gone out with the trash? At any rate, I picked the last Sunflowers today and am working on cleaning out the garden and re-planting this week. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colours and I just love that red and yellow one. Diane
ReplyDeleteYellow flowers are abundant here now. I do love that top flower, but the collage is amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower photos. I love the collage. We haven't seen much in the way of flowers this summer here in the desert, although the Mexican bird of paradise is quite stunning right now. Thank you for sharing this lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, what beauty! I love the collage idea, but I also love the top picture where you've zoomed right into the flower's heart. Exquisite! Thanks for sharing them with us --- I feel blessed!
