Some flowers from today . . .

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Any idea where I took these?

[mercuryblues]

1. I believe you bought them and took them home.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Actually, I didn't, my dear mercuryblues! Pictures are easier to take care of. ♥

3. With that flaming red against that icy blue, I thought I heard a sizzle! Thanks! nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thank you so much, my dear Atticus! You did indeed. n/t

4. "Wild" guess: Rolling Hills Flower Mart

Both the pictures and flowers are beautiful.

6. Thanks so much, my dear quaint!

You read the ribbon correctly.

I appreciate your kind comments!

7. The colors are so rich and luxe.

Is that a toad lily to the right of the roses?
Lovely.

8. Thanks so much, my dear thatcrowwoman!

I'm not sure what that flower is--you could be right!

9. *sigh*

Thanks, I needed that. The temps are falling below zero with a raging snowstorm outside... I really needed something unfrozen to enjoy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. You're very welcome, my dear 2naSalit! I needed those flowers too.

It's been chilly and gray here today, and for the foreseeable future over the rest of the week! Bleah!

I was hoping to capture the very new moon with my new lens, but not this month. Phooey.

Glad you enjoyed these!

11. Thanks.

It sure feels cold when the temps drop a lot in a short time. I'm from the north but when I was in California, after a while, +50 can feel like freezing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. It sure can! It was about 61 today, but the wind was ferocious and I was wishing I had my jacket on.

I'm not usually out and about when it's 50. The normal weather here really spoils you for when it turns cold!

13. We have very pleasant summers...

Normally though that's changing in a hurry, but we expect this winter stuff and are ready for it. It's just that it's here now.

I'm fine, though, as long as the power stays on. I went shopping before the storms, bills are all paid, gas in car, I have food and internet, what more could I need? Well, and a piano. Not to mention enough winter wear to live through a very cold event for a couple days and I have a buddy I can go huddle with next to the woodstove if things get dire.

The wind is really noisy so that might keep me up a while.

14. Such beautiful colors, so rich and sharp!

Your expert eye for composition makes the picture aesthetically pleasing, as well!

I checked the date, thought maybe someone might have given you these for Valentine’s Day! But I see it’s later. They’re beautiful, at any rate!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thank you so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Those qualities were the same ones that attracted me.

I spotted them in, of all places, my meat market! They routinely display flowers from the little shop across the street.

They are always beautiful, until they wilt! But these were fresh!
