Friday Round Up: Now With Improved Color!
07/02/2010
"Seek the strongest color effect possible. . . the content is of no importance." -- Henri Matisse
I'm a visual person. I'm always drawn to color.
In my landscape. . .
(Note the specially placed dandelion in the background! Make a wish!)
On my toes. . .
(This is my summer "pedi-palette." I'm currently sporting green toes!)
For a snack. . .
(What? Doesn't everyone share juicy fruit with their pup?)
And when I make my "purchase of the week!"
Look at this colorful, clever little thing that I found at my local yarn store! You know how, every once in a while, you just really wish you had a pair of scissors? Well. . . now you can have a pair with you all the time! Just slide off the puppy's head. . . and. . .
snip!
Fits right on your keychain. $4.99! (Although when looking for the link, I found you can get them for as little as $4.50!)
==========
I have colorful blooms everywhere in my garden this week! I can't limit myself to just one. . . so here are four "blooms of the week!"
Echinops (with bonus wasp!)
Geranium
Oak-leaf Hydrangea (not so colorful. . . but I'm so happy it's blooming!)
Shasta Daisy (with bonus spiders!)
Enjoy the colors of summer, and have a wonderful long weekend.
So glad that I'm not the only one with those specially placed dandelions! ;) Is that a weeping evergreen in front of the dandelion? Very unusual...
Beautiful flowers!

You show off color beautifully and the summer pedi-pallet has a great spectrum as does your garden. The snips are darling.
