Where in the world am I? Griffis Sculputure Park of course!

East Otto, New York

Enjoy this little part of the park!
 In total, there are over 250 sculptures.
I wish this was my back yard!
:)

The dance of the Magnolias.

It's about to begin ..

 

Each bud is buffed and puffed.

 

 Couples are forming.

Each one showing their finery.

 

Perhaps it's a group dance.

Or,  a line dance.

 

Is it a waltz? A ballet?

All I can say is that I am happy it's taking place in my backyard!

Melts in your eyes ....

Sheila's Garden

 Spring time favorites

melt my lens

melt my heart

... make me feel calm and happy.

There will always be my favorites.

If you live in Rochester, NY .....

 .... you have to LOVE lilacs!

Blooms just outside my sun room window, fill the air with such a lovely fragrance!

Comparisons!

 What a difference a few months makes!  :)

Mothers are like flowers ....

The plant emerges from the earth, it grows, matures and produces leaves, buds and ultimately flowers.

Those crowning beauties are like mothers.

Each mother is different, maybe a little bit; maybe a lot.

But, the beauty of being a mother is .....

watching the cycle repeat.

Happy Mother's Day to my daughter, my step-daughters, daughter in law and all those other lovely ladies in my life that that are part of this amazing path. 

If you have ever cared and nurtured a child, you are to be honored. Birthing is not the only per-requisite to be in this group!  Happy Mother's Day!

Tiny dancers ...

That sewing machine has been whirring!

Right now those little ones are dreaming about their routines, thinking about their costumes ... and the six little jackets are ready to be worn.

 

And I am lucky enough to be part of making those dreams come true.

How fun are these!

Gifts from my garden

A glimpse out my kitchen window  .....

 

... there under my Pergola ...

 

... was the gift of the day!

 

Who can resist the luscious color ...

 

... the starbust center ...

 

It's a happy moment of the day!

Waves ...... of color!

I will simply let these beautiful waves of hand painted silk drift through your head.

 

It's a "rock concert" of color!

Thanks CC and NC .... what a great evening!
