Friday Flower Pick: Too Many to Choose One

If it's Friday then I must be strolling the sun-shiny streets of Santa Monica looking for the perfect blossom to feature in a post!!

Well...the gorgeous weather has made it almost impossible to remain indoors today...so today's flower photo stash is plentiful!!

The lovely opening shot of a light pink bougainvillea will be considered the unofficial Friday Flower Pick...but these other trees are equally stunning and deserving of many oohs 'n aahs!!

 

Happy♥Friday!!

Love,

Thursday Things I Love: Sunset Walks

Today's Thursday Things I Love features the lovely and serene Woodlawn Cemetery on a sunset walk...

 

It's a place I go often, and I find it especially gorgeous during that magic time just before and after sunset.

Here are a few snapshots of my favorite moments from today's excursion.

Friday Flower Pick: Pink Blossoms

I'm thinking pink for today's Friday Flower Pick!! 

Valentine's Day is in the air...

and this gorgeous, blooming tree has got the mood just right;)

I especially love these enchanting pink flowers against the backdrop of a sunny California sky!!

...Combine that with a gentle ocean breeze and ride on a purple glitter beach cruiser...

and you've got yourself the recipe for a very Happy♥Friday!!

...and a Happy♥Valentine's Day too!!

Early Signs of Spring

 

Don't let the bright blossoms and blue, clear sky fool you!! 

It's chilly in Los Angeles today...

The kind of chilly that requires a fabulous scarf, tall boots, and a cozy sweater perhaps...Much to my delight=)

...It's the perfect weather for a brisk, afternoon stroll with my camera...

seeking out early signs of spring with abandon!!

Warm wishes for a lovely month of LOVE,

Mademoiselle♥Mermaid
