Friday Floral Photos...

It's been quite a week...what with Etsy, Rafflecopter and giveaways! I've had battles beyond belief and they aren't all working as I would have liked....they all challenged my brain to its limits at times, but we're thankfully on our way into the long weekend which is timed perfectly. Time to chill out!
So I thought I'd post some photos of the flowers that I bought yesterday. I then added some foliage from the garden which adds a autumn twist and wonderful colour. The colours were amazing when the sun popped out just in time for my photo, but unfortunately it highlights how dirty my windows are at the moment.
No don't zoom in!.....hey, I've been busy and this little ray of sunshine was the first we've seen for days!



I adore having fresh flowers in the house...they make me smile :D

Then I noticed this little leaf on the table below.....casting its long shadow.



Before I go, I thought you might like to see the Protea design in its new frame....it's difficult to photograph with so much reflection. I'd have preferred to have taken the shot directly from the front but then you'd have seem my image in the reflection...not a pretty sight with the day I'd had!

I'm on a date night tonight...and yes it is with my OH! ;D
We're off to an Italian restaurant which should be 'Bellisimo' 
 Have a wonderful weekend

    1. I'm always surprised when the colours appear Marie, but never more so than since being in the land of Oz. It's something I didn't expect so an added bonus.
      We had a lovely night and visited an area of Melbourne that we lived in when we first landed here. Its a great location and was great to revisit. :D
      Have a wonderful weekend and I apologise for not visiting you as much as I would like recently....its been flat chat (as they say here) over the last few weeks or so, but I hope to visit everyone soon. ;D

  3. That leaf+shadow picture is brilliant! You obviously have an eye for a good photo opportunity.

    1. I just wish I had a camera that could do the shot justice...although I'm very attached to my current camera. Its served me so well for years and considering that its bounced at least five times (onto concrete too) but it still seems to want to carry on ;D
      Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by...I hope to visit your plot soon :D

      I couldn't resist when I saw the tree in my garden and decided to bring the colour into the house with the addition of some flowers from my local florist.
