It's like the garden decided to host a large dance, like Prom. Reminds me of all the girls in their bright dresses.
I really do not know which one to chose as my favorite; loved all the pictures and all the quotes. A great post to a nature/flower lover such as me.;)
I am hoping you are enjoying your precious time in the cottage.;)

Beautiful flowers...so who is taking care of these lovelies while you are off gallivanting to summer cabins?
Lovely flower shots and quotes!
Lovely. Thank you.
Oh your macro shots get better and better .. love that little blue flower, I call periwinkle tho I am not sure that is its real name.
I love these. You have such an incredible eye.
just gorgeous. both the flowers and the ones some would call "weeds." you've captured their beauty well and chosen such apt quotes.
A beautiful pairing of quotes and blossoms. Very uplifting! Thank you.
I hope you are enjoying your time away.
Just beautiful. And the quotes as thought-provoking as ever. Always a wonderful visit here;)
As always, you have matched the quote to the photo perfectly. If forced to choose a favorite, it would be--by a very slim margin--the cluster of yellow lilies & the Chinese proverb. Or perhaps the first photo; or Lincoln's roses, or LM Montgomery.....You just do this too well! Thank you; hope you are having a fabulous holiday :)
woooooow!
Bravo! Bravo!
I'm in the midst of reading "The Last Lecture" so of course I jumped at the Randy Pausch quote, but the Robert Leighton quote might be my favorite... or the...
Okay, I like them all. I can't even possibly choose a favorite photo.
Thank you, Hilary, for blessing my day with beauty. ♥

Hope you have a good time at the cottage.

Lovely, Hilary.
And the quotes were quite appropriate.

That Emerson quote rocks. I'm gonna try to remember it so I can regurgitate it to the girls at an appropriate moment.
Nice pix, as always.

I enjoyed these photos very much. You capture the natural color of the flowers as well as recreate the joy of discovering them. I feel like I'm out for a walk. Thanks for these.

You are an excellent photographer. To me good flower pictures can be more difficult than a lot of other types of pictures. Good YELLOW flower pictures? Rare. Yours are spectacular.
Thanks very much for the kind words, Louise. I'm glad you enjoyed the flowers. :)
