Gorgeous uplifting photos Alison! 🙂
Thanks. That’s what I felt taking the pictures, so glad to share!
An absolutely stunning set of photos. And I love the quote too.
Thanks. The quote seemed so right and insightful, I must look up more of his work
Fabulous photos, what a fitting accompaniment to the wonderful quote. I shall look it up later.
Thank you. I will be checking out more of his work too.
Beautiful, vibrant pictures. Lovely.
Thanks Jessica!
Looks like you’re having a great spring! Beautiful.
Yes the bright colours are kicking in and the energy around is so obvious. Hope that you’re enjoy the same.
All those pretty pollinators. Oh, and the flowers are great, too! Terrific photos, all!
A bevy of happy bees! ❤
Lovely bees and bulbs. Spring really is here at last.
