Spring Things and a Fairy's Eye View

I think of March as a really magical sort of month...

since it's the perfect time to celebrate four leaf clovers, rainbows, fairies...
...and all the things that go along with the magic of Spring!!

I'm dressing in bright green, rainbow socks,
and playful ruffles for afternoon walks...

...while taking a fairy's eye view of things!!

 Here are a few of my favorite shots of some of spring's loveliest little blooms:

Happy Mermaid♥Monday!!

Friday Flower Pick : Star Jasmine

Today's superstar of my Friday Flower Pick-ing 

adventures is none other than the charmingly pretty, 

deliciously perfumed, Star Jasmine!!

 When I'm out 'n about, checking to see what's blooming,

it's usually my baby blues that lead the way...

...spotting a flash of pink across the street (and making a beeline for it=)....

or catching a glimpse of white sparkle in a flowering tree overhead!!

But star jasmine is best discovered by following your nose!! 

It's especially true on a night like last night, when on a full moon bike ride, I discovered a few beautifully scented hidden spots to revisit today-

to photograph my star!!

A view from my full moon bike ride last night.

Happy♥Friday!!

A Universe of Beaches : Words of Wisdom

“Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, 

mine would be a universe of beaches.”

― William Goldman, The Princess Bride

(Westley to Princess Buttercup)

 

From the coast-of-somewhere beautiful...

today, it's all about love...and beaches...and long red maxi dresses (à la Princess Buttercup)!! 

 

I love the romance of contrasting a grey beach day with fire engine red fabric!!

 ...Fancy starring in your own romantic fairytale?

You might want to slip one of these on...

Have an enchanting Wednesday!!

Mermaid Monday : After the Rain

Welcome to a new month (March), an almost new season (Spring), and a new Mademoiselle Mermaid!!

I'm busy creating a fresh everything...from website to workspace!!

...It feels just like that special time after a cleansing rain, 

when the warm sun first shines through again, 

making the wet world sparkle anew. 

That's what I like to call rainbow weather.

...coming soon=)
