day dreaming

i didn't take the above photograph, i found it on pinterest. i think its stunning.

poppies are one of my favourite flowers and i love watching the buds 'pop' open.

being nearly two years since i gave up being a florist, i have begun to miss my daily doses of creating with flowers.

i just love flowers and foliage... the different shapes, forms, colours, textures...

i have been doing a fair amount of driving this week. plenty of day dreaming time...

dreaming of green gardens bursting with new growth in the spring... autumn gardens full of red, yellow and brown... kitchen gardens fall of goodness... 

and as i drive i look out the window as the landscape flashes past and it is so brown, dry and lifeless, so parched. 

how much we need some rain. its time for autumn to begin... i have had enough of summer...

i just want some green!
