I simply love your image today Hilary. And the quote that complements it so well; they are both so full of opposites and contradictions.
As always congratulations to everyone, I am looking forward to discover new lovely places with your help.
And thank you so much for the mention, glad you enjoyed the post about People and Plants.;)) I am flattered.;)
Have a great time at the cottage,
xoxo
Fabulous image, and your quote is inspiring. Congrats to the POTW Nominees! xxx
Great image Hilary. Lovely.
Congratulations to the POTW winners - I am only jealous as much as a big bucketful of jealous stuff. ;0)
What a gorgeous flower shot! Superb!
What an amazing marriage of photo and quote, Hilary - they were made for each other.
As always thanks for the links to good reads.
Enjoy your time away!
I so love your photo of the iris. Beautiful!
I visited the POTW and they are terrific. Another fabulous posting Hilary!
Thanks ever so much
Hugs

How on earth did you get the quote that matched the photo? Stupendous.
Thank you once again, you are too kind. Have a great get-a-away!
Enjoy your time at the cottage... Getaways are always wonderful, oh... and love the photo today. You have such a knack for the unusual and beautiful.

This is my first time as a follower getting to find new posts. This of course is always dangerous, just when I think I can keep up, I find dozens more I can't resist. Like yours. Love the picture, BTW.
I like the image and the quote you put with it. This week I may have time to read the posts you selected! :)
On behalf of Petrie and Casa Hice, THANK YOU so much, Hilary for mentioning us in your wonderful blog and including us in your POTW selections. It's been a crazy morning, so this has really made the difference and brightened my day.
PS: I'll be posting a photo of Petrie getting the news tomorrow!

I'm always amazed at how you find the perfect quote to go with your lovely shots.
Wonderful choices .. and here's a treat for you click here
What a wonderful surprise to be POTW!!! I am thinking of getting a sash and a tiara for the occasion. (I am already wearing my sequined gown. It IS Wednesday after all!)
Thank you so much for this honor!!
Hope you have a wonderful time at the cottage. I am so looking forward to the presents (pictures!) you bring us when you come back.
Have a wonderful sojourn...and I am going to go a-visiting!
The tire in the background give so much more interest to the picture. The flower is really lovely. This week's posts are great, some of them are new to me. I like to hear of blogs I have never seen. Thanks.
Hey Hilary! I'm so behind this week! I have visited all the posts of the week, though and I'm the better for having done it (summer cold here, nothing tragic, just inelegant!)
Thanks, as always, for helping to make my Wednesday :-)
Loved the Iris. Also, thanks so much for POTW mention!
the flower framed by the hub cap is just wonderful!!
congrats to all the POTWs
I hope to visit as many as I can
Love the image..... mine is kinda similar today!!
And Hilary - THANK YOU - for the POTW nomination! Wow! What a surprise to get comments from people letting me know. How fun!! You totally made my morning and it is so appreiated! Thanks so much! Gotta run but will be back to visit others POTW soon!
Hope you have a great day!

congrats all, will be around in abit!
Oh the picture and the quote is perfect. Going to the cottage sounds like fun.
Oh, WOW... thanks for the mention, Hilary. I had a couple of congratulation comments on my blog today and had no idea what they were talking about. Guess I need to get my head out of the clouds and pay attention more often. Much appreciated coming from you and your wonderful blog. I love stopping by here and enjoy your work immensely.

I am working my way round your recommendations; in spite of all the rubbish that can be found in blogland, there are some real gems too. You are introducing me to very worthwhile blogs.

Your images do make me stop and take notice.
Wonderful posts all around. And thanks very much for the nod.
That photo is stunning ... and the quote that you picked to accompany it is simply perfect!
Stunning pictures, each and everyone. I can't believe how close you get with your eyefinder. Beautiful. Congratulations to all your winners, and to you for taking the time to visit them and showcase their blogs so.
It's a wonderful service, and we appreciate it.
The iris is so beautiful. Ours are all done blooming now.
That photograph and quote? Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Karen (Kcinnova) sent me to see your gorgeous pic. She is right, it is gorgeous. While I was here I read your bio. You may want to stop by my place on Monday and check out my Punny Monday game. Come early though or it will be over. I put the post up at 12:01 a.m. every Monday.
