floral inspiration

My camera has rather been confined to the house and thus I have many photos of vases of flowers!

I love these cheerful bunches of tulips available now and like this one taken contre jour.

A friend told me yesterday about a pet shop near the health club where the owner has reared a barn owl from an egg and it is possible to see the owl in the shop. Hope I can find an opportunity to visit!

Thank you for all kind comments and messages left on my post last Saturday. (A week is gone in the blink of an eye - or so it seems.)

Thanks for the flowers! Sometimes coming here on a dull winter day and seeing these shots is almost as good as getting the flowers themselves. They cheer me up and I don’t even have to change the water.
