Tuesday Blooms ~ May 6

With Mother's Day just days away, this week's Tuesday Blooms is dedicated to Mom's everywhere! When we think of Mom's we generally think of "love" -- and no better flower bloom to visually portray love than a rose!

This rose beauty seems to soak in the sun's warm rays and reflect them back out.


I love the color and size of this rose (compare the bloom to the size of my hand!); she is layers of delicate beauty! (Traces of the recent hail storm damage can be seen on the wooden fence behind this rose.)


Our unique lavendar rose bush.


Twin beauties make their own bouquet!


I love this time of year when the sun sets late in the evening; this part of the yard receives the afternoon and evening sun and I like the way that is captured with the light and shadows in this shot.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Tuesday Blooms! And be reminded to stop and admire the natural beauty all around! It's an invaluable gift we have!
