Winter flower

Interesting and pleasurable to ride through the Public Gardens to see what flowers are blooming in the middle of winter here! I found poppies so put them together in a photographic design!

Three good things:
1. All the good wishes that 365 members put out in support of others!
2. First bike ride on Ruby - 9 degC so put on my feather coat and gloves - cosy and warm!
3. I’m going to count all the owls I have - there’s a new one under a big vase of artificial flowers!

This is beautifully presented. Does not say winter to me.

@pandorasecho Winter here has lots of sun but cold temps - 2.9degC at the moment!

A lovely presentation of these lovely poppies -- they look as if they are floating in the sky -- a lovely idea !

[Richard Sayer]

Very effective artistic processing Maggiemae... I like this a lot - it's a Fav for me.

[Mark Prince]

Oh that looks very surreal, it reminded me of something I can't quite put my finger on. Sgt. Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour or an artist ? Don't know but I like it.

[Maggiemae]

@gijsje I"ve got about 14, Bep but don't have much shelf space for more!

Wow...You've created a delightful, colorful image.

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

For a long time I've seen your name in the comments of so many 365-ers' photos, and finally took a minute to check out your own album. One word: fabulous! This one especially, which goes in my faves.

[Maggiemae]

@aikimomm Thank you Phoebe! You are the first and only Phoebe that I know!

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

@maggiemae In my 73+ years, I've only met one other myself. Thanks for the follow, and of course I'll now be following you. It took me long enough!

[Maggiemae]

@aikimomm I'm the same age as you so our experiences are almost the same!
