In an effort to notice more of the ordinary in my life, I have decided to share what I have noticed this week in Take Three Thursday. The idea is to take 1 - 3 photos that are linked some how; by theme, by colour, by date, by moment, by points of view. There is no formal link in but please feel free to join in. What have you noticed this week?
Have a peek what others have noticed this week:

This week I was amused by the blooming of my back garden poppies. I have 3 clumps in these gardens; 1 true red & 2 that are watermelon pink. They bloom later than the white, front garden poppies. As I took my morning stroll with tea in hand, I noticed that they were tipping their "hats" to Summer's arrival. We are all in agreement - welcome.
There's a bonus photo today - don't you think this is a perfect example of equal portions for SPSH?

Lovely welcome to summer! And, yes, that’s a great shot for equal portions!
ReplyDeleteMe, the garden, summer's arrival - now that's a perfect threesome of equal portions - although I think my excitement was just a bit more than the garden's, which I think was focusing on needing some rain.
DeleteYour poppies are glorious … they also qualify for #1 the rosiness of red!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I didn't think of my red one for #1 - thanks for picking that up. Yes, I think I like this one better than my red strawberries.
DeleteStunning photos! Welcome, summer, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am looking forward to Focusing on enjoying the summer, not worrying about getting everything done. Lots of pauses to enJOY.
DeleteThey are beautiful and what a clever find for 'equal portions'!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I want some really pale pink poppies. The equal portions didn't come into view until I loaded into the computer.
DeleteYes, that's perfect for 'equal portions'. Well done on a very clever find!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was a lucky shot.
DeleteGorgeous poppies. How long do the blooms last? Your camera skills are quite impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The fully open poppies last for about 5 days as long as it isn't windy; if it's cooler maybe a week.
DeleteYes, I'll join you in welcoming Summer :) What beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day, neither too humid nor too windy. I was fortunate to be able to be home for most of the day & make the most of a perfect summer day on the patio. I hope you got to sit on your gorgeous patio.
DeleteYes, we never did get that predicted storm, and it was cooler than it had been. A beautiful day here, too :)
