Happy Hydrangea

Part of my job for the Microsoft Preview event includes picking out and styling the flowers.  Hydrangea will definitely be on my shopping list. If you are lucky enough to live in an area with abundant bushes, you can just go right outside and cut them.  I will be picking mine up from the Flower District but they will be no less beautiful.  Hydrangea always seem so happy and cheerful to me too.  How can you look at them and not smile?  Hope these images make you smile too! Bon Weekend!

Photographer Marc Wouters

Good morning, dears! Ahh, I had some fun yesterday with your reactions to my post on Iris Apfel's home. I think I should choose to post homes like this one more often, the nice ones don't get as much attention and comments (in my inbox rather than on my blog). Cluttered, eyesore, over the top, plain awful, and even nightmare, were some of the adjectives I received.

Ah well, today I'd like to introduce you to Marc Wouters, an outstanding photographer from Belgium which I discovered through Greet from Belgian Pearls. Interiors, people, still life, and floral are some of the themes he covers. I have selected my favourite photographs to show you here but you might like to see the rest so just go to his portfolio right here.

April Flowers

April showers are bringing early flowers in New York.  April is also bring crazy temperatures that had me wearing a winter coat on Friday and sandals on Sunday.  On the non-deluge days, I like to take a walk in Central Park to enjoy the fleeting flowers.  Here's a little look at springtime in the city and a few cute Easter decorations.  Enjoy!
