It's a Retro Spring...


I've been feeling a bit under the weather this past week and have not done any photography to speak of...sooooo...I was thinking of what I had in my archives that would make me smile and feel better...Here are some shots from a spring day a couple of years ago, at our fabulous Descanso Gardens...













Ahhhh...I'm feeling better already!!!

Hope y'all are well and enjoying the beginnings of Spring!!!

  2. As we see the dark clouds & rain coming here in Southern Cal, it's good to go back for a retrospective of spring now past.

  3. The colors are so vibrant! And lilacs -- my Descanso lilac is flowering for the very first time this spring. (Ok, only one flower, but that's 100% better than last year.)

    Get better, Kathy.

  4. Thank you DD!!! I'm so glad you're back again!!! Iris are favorites of mine...my grandmother and my mother both had lot's of iris in their gardens...

    I'm kind of enjoying listening to the rain and having one last fire in the fireplace...wreaks a little havoc with my less than optimal breathing today, but hey, I can handle it!!!

    AH! I'm so jealous that you have even one lilac blooming in your yard!!! I saw some lilac while walking Miss Daisy a week ago and had to stop and smell the lilac!!!

  5. Indeed. If these lovelies don't perk you up, I don't know what will.

  8. Glad your own photo cure had an effect. It certainly did on me at the start of a hectic Friday. Just about to head in to the office, but I'll carry these glorious flowers with me all day. Especially the lilac - if I close my eyes I'll be able to smell it, and offset the 'parfum d'office'.

  9. Lovely, lovely, lovely. I adore Descanso, but rarely get there when the irises are doing their thing. These photos area amazing.

    Hope you are feeling in the pink!

  11. These are sooooooooo beautiful. I don't know if I emphasised soooooooooooooooooooo enough.
    You are a marvellous photographer of flowers - not an easy feat because the color can be sort of illusive on pixels.
    Hope you are feeling great again.

  12. These iris' are stunning (especially the chocolate). I don't know if it's a matter of rainfall or what but my bearded iris (similar to the blue) have finally bloomed after four years of coaxing. I wish they're blooms would last forever and a day
