A Lazy Post - But a Pretty One

My Facebook and Etsy friend Myrthe Noordegraaf, owner of the Etsy shops French Fairy Tale and Flea Fever, has a lovely blog that I love called Fiddle Flower that is basically a pictorial catalog of her life.  Usually a photo or two, with a very short description.  I admire her ability to distill things into a few words and make it meaningful.

Last Tuesday I published a blog post about a visit to a botanical garden, which included many photos, and Myrthe challenged me to do another post - a short one - with flower photos.

So, in that spirit, on a peaceful Wednesday morning, I walked on Hope Street in Providence down to my therapist's office on the Providence-Pawtucket line.  Anyone who is familiar with that area knows that there are many pretty houses with gardens, especially flowers planted in front of the house.  Lots of them.  And so as I walked, I took pictures of what I saw.  I don't know what some of them are, but who cares?

So, Myrthe - this is for you.










I do want to say something about the next photo.  I walked past a small restaurant and happened to notice that someone happened to have left an empty wine glass on a ledge amidst flowers the night before.  And I had to take the photo.  I love it.

later,

    1. When I was taking the photo I hadn't noticed I was reflected in the windows but I saw it later and I liked the effect, so I kept it. Glad you like it
