Oh God, Like some horrible narcisist! So sorry you saw it twice, it just wasn’t in the reader and I didn’t know what else to do. It happened with the bear post a a few posts ago too.
perfectly beautiful, words and pictures, and so uplifting, thank you Cindy…
The way you play with wild life, beauty, nature, is so creative and so enjoyable… always a new perspective to give us pause…
Hi Cuz… So glad you re-posted this as I missed the 1st edition. The blossoms are beautiful. As for WP…, seems like all these little problems started coming out about the same time as their “new” format. The old format was obviously working too well so they had to fix it !!!!! Hugs! 🙂
I remember the Patagonia shot from an earlier post. That’s so dreamy. And the Netherlands one is so stunning. All your photos here are gorgeous of course, but those two stand out for me!
We are lucky to have blooms everywhere over this planet.
I think I mentioned that sometimes because of where they are located that my forsythia bloom in November, December and January! Not the whole bush, but enough for me to notice color in winter 😉
yes I have Cindy, including dandelions from my yard! 🙂 They don’t have much taste but add a wonderful burst of color to a meal. Or I put them in my morning smoothies.
These are spectacular, particularly the tulips in Ireland! I missed seeing those when I was there, so now I have another good “excuse” for a return visit, ha!
I was busy over weekend, my Mom fell in wet grass and shattered her hip. The surgery was on Sunday, Cindy. I am not quite ready to write a post but she will heal. Seeing her looking scared, then brave, but frail made me cry. This bouquet of world wide beautiful flowers really cheered me up. Thank you for each magnificent choice, Cindy.
Oh no! I am so sorry. Traumatic for both of you to see her vulnerable and scared. Poor lady. It is not fun getting old. I am sorry for you too Robin. So hard for you. Sending healing thoughts and prayers you mother’s way and yours too! <3 <3
I don’t see the point. I did it for awhile and let it go. People have been really polite about crediting my photos if they use them and this is very nice, but I put them on pinterest so they are out there!
Yes, it is quite a lot of work to do it consistently – I’m still quite territorial about mine… but it almost doubles the preparation and upload time. I usually reduce the size so if it gets downloaded or copied it can’t be used commercially, but maybe as you said people are generally honest about this kind of thing. Maybe I should trust my fellow humans more! 🙂
Or just do what you feel comfortable doing. The thing I get more upset about is inadvertantly losing photos. I somehow lost all of my photos of Russian, Findland et.el and when I tried to download them from my posts, they were as you mention, too small! Que lastima!
Ah, the beautiful colors of life – brought to us by the ever-so-talented Cindy. Your posts always brighten the day and inspires me to see life (and admire your great photos!).
And you used to used to be able to do that, because I have been going to these fields forever. The former owner was casual, let me fill my trunk with ranunculus, and wander and rest in the fields. Nirvana~
Thank goodness for the beauty of flowers to dampen the harshness of the world. All beautiful photo’s Cindy. I especially liked the Flamingo’s and the Freesia. My gosh they smell glorious. A bundle like that would be a kings ransom here in Edmonton. The Passion flowers are so exotic, I can’t even believe they’re real. xb
Your rock your socks off and I hope you know it. You blog is a creative joy visit!
This is the deal, I go to Canada in the summer and I simply can’t believe Canadians and their amazing flower cultivation and RESULTS! Such gorgeous flowers. I have seen this before in cold areas where flowers just burst forth saying “You can’t stop me!”
The other other funny thing is the perception of what is exotic. I’m in Australia or Huahine going gaga over the birds, and people are telling me, these are very common birds Cindy. The same thing happened in Africa re: the crocodiles.
Passion Flowers grow unrestrainedly all over Hollerdom. I have nothing to do with it.
Everything that grows and lives on this planet is amazing to someone.
!! first off, thank you kindly for your fab message Cindy, that was so nice. We do go a bit banana’s in the summer for our flowers 😀 It’s the long dark winter that gets us motivated I think. Great of you to travel here and notice the details too. Merci (we’re bilingual, LOL)
I guess I never thought about it, but you’re so right. Anywhere that’s not home will seem exotic to others. That’s the fabulous thing about the world hey? We’re all unique with so much to offer in our own way. Cheers to us, birds, crocodiles and passion flowers and every other living thing that make up this great cacophony of life 😀
Wow, what an abundance of beauty and color — I LOVED this post Cindy! What a wonderful world to have flowers of all kinds in our presence — and truly spectacular photos. 🙂
All these pictures are great, but I especially like the one with the flamingos. It’s great to see them all standing there on one leg in a perfect row, as if unsure whether they are birds or an exotic kind of pink flower.
They are all so beautiful!
Awwww, so happy you enjoyed Michele and cheers to you my friend~
A lot of people are upset with posts not showing in the reader.
Thank you for sharing these beauties!!
Really! This is the second time it has happened and I am never sure what to do when it happens.
I just hope that it gets seen at some point but the changes they keep making are awful. I wish they’d leave well enough alone
Very frustrating when it just doesn’t show up.
Nice! 🙂
Thank you Ranu! <3
They are gorgeous. Love the ‘sea’ of flowers!!!
I do too! I always want to lay amongst them.
These are pretty enough to ‘like’ twice 🙂
Oh, so annoying for you! I’m sorry.
Beautiful flowers. Love the flamingos.
It was like they were color co-ordinated into the scene! So pleased you enjoyed Timothy and Happy Sunday evening~
All I can say is that these are Glorious!!! Amazing!
Awwww, then I am very glad I posted them!
beautiful!
<3
Wow, I believe this was the most colorful post I’ve ever seen!
Well mother nature is not afraid of color and I agree with her! 😉
I’m an amateur when it comes to photography, do you need to enhance the color…?
Yes I do on some photos but not intensely. I just enhance saturation nothing fancy.
So glad you reblog it, Cindy! Love to see your posts again and again. 🙂 <3
Oh God, Like some horrible narcisist! So sorry you saw it twice, it just wasn’t in the reader and I didn’t know what else to do. It happened with the bear post a a few posts ago too.
I know how that is… It happened to me a couple of times. I especially love the waterlily! 🙂 The red passion flower is so gorgeous, Wow!!
Hard sometime to reconcile such beauty isn’t it~
perfectly beautiful, words and pictures, and so uplifting, thank you Cindy…
The way you play with wild life, beauty, nature, is so creative and so enjoyable… always a new perspective to give us pause…
People like you are why I love blogging! <3
Such dazzling colors. Lovely!
So pleased you enjoyed them Carrie and cheers~
Cheers!
Visa versa 2 U X 2! 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you kindly & much appreciated!
You’re welcome!
You are some talent, Ms Photographer!
Awwwww, shucks……thank you! <3
A trip around the world in flowers. Beautiful!
That would be such a fun theme trip wouldn’t it? To see all the peak blooming places on the planet~
It would indeed!
<3
Perfection, nothing can compete with nature! Cindy thank you for bringing such beauty to my computer!
Thank you for appreciating and you are so right, nothing comes close to Mother Nature!
How you capture the wonder of these “everyday” things!
I am just grateful that there are people like you who appreciate them!
Cindy, thank you for all that beauty which put a smile on my face! I just came off a difficult week and it’s really nice to see something so lovely.
Awwwww, so motivating for me to think of a smile on your face Teresa. Thoughts and hugs~ <3
Thank you, Cindy! x
Nature outdid itself. How beautiful.
She does it all the time, for all of us!
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you for seeing!
Hi Cuz… So glad you re-posted this as I missed the 1st edition. The blossoms are beautiful. As for WP…, seems like all these little problems started coming out about the same time as their “new” format. The old format was obviously working too well so they had to fix it !!!!! Hugs! 🙂
Exactly, what is that the law of? If things are working, fix it. Hope you are well Paul & cheers!
Wow… that first shot is incredible. What a beautiful flower and image.
I was struck by these passion flowers. I had never seen them in these colors. There is always a surprise waiting for us~
Very true. I love the shape of the stigma and the filaments surrounding it. A work of art.
Beautiful flowers. I especially love the freesias.
Can’t you smell them too! Freesias have such glorious scents. I grow them for the scent~
Just awesome Cindy! I especially love the purple ones, and the blue flower with the bees. Incredible.
Awwww, I am honored~
Wonderful beauty!
Joy Indestructible, what an amazing blog title!
Wonderful world of natural colors! Thanks, Cindy.
So happy you enjoyed & happy Monday~
Happy monday ^_^
Fantastic 🙂 Greetings, Annette
Greetings & cheers back to you!
🙂
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you more for the appreciation~
Wunderbar… Ernst 🙂
Light,Colours,Shapes,Sweet faces …
The Grandeur of the flower world your floral post,dear Cindy 🙂 xxx
Enchanting…as always! (✿◠‿◠)
Such beautiful vibrant colours. And those flamingos and their reflections look like flowers too.
A beautiful and colourful way to begin the day, Cindy.
Makes me smile! Have a wonderful week~
thank you, you too.
<3
These are sooooo beautiful, Cindy..I’m short of adjectives… !
Awwwww, so kind!
Just telling the truth… 🙂
Great, colourful series!
Mil grazi!
Super. Freesias are my favourites, as they have an amazing scent too. That picture already smells for me! 🙂
Yes, me too! I have planted lots of freesias because the scent is so wonderful~
I remember the Patagonia shot from an earlier post. That’s so dreamy. And the Netherlands one is so stunning. All your photos here are gorgeous of course, but those two stand out for me!
They were two really exceptional places so you have good taste Halim, but we already knew that! 🙂
I am so in love with those pictures!
I am so glad! Thank you and cheers to you~
What a delightful post Cindy! I love the images.
Yay! Many thanks~
I love them all. What a beautiful way to start a morning. I especially like the flamingo “flowers” all lined up in the marsh.
Flaming Flowers would be such an excellent title for a post on flamingos!
We are lucky to have blooms everywhere over this planet.
I think I mentioned that sometimes because of where they are located that my forsythia bloom in November, December and January! Not the whole bush, but enough for me to notice color in winter 😉
Oh how wonderful that must be!
das ist ja echt wunderschön, liebe Cindy, wünsche eine gute Woche
Danke mein lieber Freund und haben eine wundervolle Woche!
ok, ich danke dir
Gorgeous flowers. I don’t think I could pick a favorite.
Thank you and I never can either!
Mother is indeed the finest florist!!! BEAUTIFUL! I needed to see your beautiful pictures this morning 🙂
That makes me very happy I posted! <3
yummy flowers Cindy!
Have you ever eaten an edible flower? I haven’t, but they have been on my plate. I couldn’t do it.
yes I have Cindy, including dandelions from my yard! 🙂 They don’t have much taste but add a wonderful burst of color to a meal. Or I put them in my morning smoothies.
Such a wonderful array of colors and subjects. Your photography is stunning, Cindy!
So kind and so encouraging!
These are spectacular, particularly the tulips in Ireland! I missed seeing those when I was there, so now I have another good “excuse” for a return visit, ha!
It is alwasy a good idea to return to Ireland. My husband wants to go for a month!
Really gorgeous Cindy! Flowers are a world I love! I think I can smell the beautiful aroma of this post!
You are a visual artist, how could you resist Mother Nature’s flowers! She is a rockin good artist!
passions flowers are one of my favorites…beautiful photos 🙂
I agree, they are so unique and so interesting.
These are heavenly!
Sent by heavenly angels to cheer us up!
El maravilloso mundo de las flores en unas preciosas fotos.
Tu es un amiga maravillosa! <3 <3
Those pink flamingos are amazing! I’ve only seen them in zoos.
Thank you. When they fly in groups they make awesome shots. I approached these guys to get them to take off and take the pics……Beautiful in flight!
Ahhh smarty pants! I’d like to see them sometime.
Yes, I should repost. I got them taking off in a 1-2-3 sequence. Flamingos look incredible when they fly!
Beautiful.
Mil grazi~
and I can see why – this is a great way to start a Monday!
Oh good! Happy week Antionette~ <3
Cindy each one of these is gallery worthy. Such fabulous color and detail.
That is so thoughtful of you to say and very much appreciated! Thank you~

Such an amazing and colourful gallery, Cindy! Love those tulips and the freesias especially. 🙂
Thank you, that bunching of the freesias was heady stuff for someone who loves the scent!
That would be me. 🙂
Amazing photos.
Awwwww, so kind!
Stunning Cindy!
Mil grazi~
PS: I see you don’t watermark your pics…
I don’t see the point. I did it for awhile and let it go. People have been really polite about crediting my photos if they use them and this is very nice, but I put them on pinterest so they are out there!
Yes, it is quite a lot of work to do it consistently – I’m still quite territorial about mine… but it almost doubles the preparation and upload time.

So beautiful! I love this. Thank you so much for sending it and cheers to you!
so beautiful <3
We need beauty everday as you know at least as well as I! Thank you my friend~
Yes we do <3 and you're most welcome 🙂
I rarely use the reader so I got to see it twice and that was a pleasure. So incredibly beautiful! 🙂
You are very kind! It is annoying to get posts twice, so I appreciate your understanding!
What a love trip round the world this morning.
So glad you came along & cheers to you!
Ah, the beautiful colors of life – brought to us by the ever-so-talented Cindy. Your posts always brighten the day and inspires me to see life (and admire your great photos!).
Visa versa 2 U X 2! And you know I mean it~
Wow Cindy, so beautiful and colorful flowers 😀
Flower Power!! <3 <3
Yes 😀
So beautiful, so absolutely beautiful. I want to lay in that field in the last photo and just smell the scent and look at the beauty.
And you used to used to be able to do that, because I have been going to these fields forever. The former owner was casual, let me fill my trunk with ranunculus, and wander and rest in the fields. Nirvana~
Oh man i am so envious of your days in Nirvana in those beautiful fields.
<3<3
These flowers – and photos are stunning! The flamingos look like flowers too 🙂
I think they are. Monet, up there in heaven, orchestrated these shots. In heaven he has flamingos to work with! <3
Thank goodness for the beauty of flowers to dampen the harshness of the world. All beautiful photo’s Cindy. I especially liked the Flamingo’s and the Freesia. My gosh they smell glorious.

Hear! Hear! I’ll toast to this!! 🙂
Cindy, I love all the vibrant colors. Au natural.
Not much better gift possible than Mother Natures~ <3
Your right, Cindy. No there isn’t.
<3 <3
Sunday my post did the same thing…
Yes! I have heard this from several people. Hopefully WP will fix it. It’s frustrating~
Yes it was. I knew I published it. I was like, what? Wait? I couldn’t even find it on my administration page.
And now the follow icon seems to have disappeared. I had to add an icon to my blog. Sigh…….
Really beautiful colours.
So pleased you enjoyed and cheers to you!
Wow, what an abundance of beauty and color — I LOVED this post Cindy! What a wonderful world to have flowers of all kinds in our presence — and truly spectacular photos. 🙂
You are such a good friend Jet. Thank you and be well~ <3
Absolutely gorgeous! Some flowers give romantic feelings. 😉
They do don’t they! They symbolize love~
Looking at the inside of the first 2 flowers, I remember riding on carousels.
Interesting how images evoke old memories……
Lovely whirling colors.
That is a fascinating and accurate image! Thank you for sharing it~
Remarkable post… Truly beautiful!… Best wishes. Aquileana ★🌟 ☀ ~
Visa versa 2 U X 2! <3
As usual, gorgeous. That fourth shot is a study of the art.
Awwww, much appreciated & cheers!
All these pictures are great, but I especially like the one with the flamingos. It’s great to see them all standing there on one leg in a perfect row, as if unsure whether they are birds or an exotic kind of pink flower.
What a poetic description. From now on I will thinkg of flamingos as one-legged flowers! Lovely~
What a lovely collection! Love all of it.
So beautiful.
Are you and your family well, Cindy?
https://youtu.be/RJPTshhqMZE
Lovely
Much appreciated & cheers~
And much happieness to you dear freind

Beautiful photographs, such a wonderful display of vibrant colour, so uplifting.
Awwww, so very glad you enjoyed my friend and be well! <3
More amazing colours. I’m so pleased I found your Blog
I am so pleased to have met you!
I see where NE gets its flowers three months of the year. Wow, such beauty.
Pretty incredible isn’t it! Happy weekend Brenda!
Happy Saturday night, Cindy! I imagine the hummers are sleeping.
They are kinda party poopers to be honest. They go to bed right when the sun sets and I can never wake them!
Very beautiful!
Awwww, so pleased you like them Maria & cheers to you~
This is my favorite of the three Cindy. WOW!!! Spectacular and glorious pics…the flowers seem animated!!! Sharing these beauties now!! 😉 xoxoxo
Awwwww, you are the bestest blogging buddy! <3 <3
Cindy lovely macros full of color and sharpness!
Awwww, grazi my friend!
I love tulips! 🙂
They won’t grow where I live so I especially love them!
These are truly stunning!!
