In Full Bloom: Outdoors And In Vivid Color!









This year's Philadelphia Flower Show is once again being held outdoors in beautiful FDR Park in South Philadelphia and this year's theme, "In Full Bloom" says it all. We took these photos at this year's show and urge you to see the show which runs through this Sunday!

How Summer's Lush Natural Beauty Enchants!

















Summer is a sensual season - a season abundant with rich, vivid colors, fragrances and stunning surprises that delight the senses.
And an early morning walk through nearly any part of beautiful Hilton Head Island proves that.
When we tell people that we recharge during lazy summer days on Hilton Head they ask us if we play golf. No. The game is much too tedious for us.
We walk, cycle and occasionally play a quick game of tennis. But mostly we just soak in the island's natural beauty.
This is a place that defines the word "lush." And this morning it was nothing less than a celebration of summer's slow, intoxicating seduction.
All you have to do is get out and experience it!

Oh, My! These Colors Will Take Your Breath Away!

Spring is awash in spectacular color!
And this was never more apparent than during our recent visit to Longwood Gardens in suburban Philadelphia where the vivid colors of the season are so intense they will dazzle you at every turn.
On the eve of Mother's Day, we thought you might like this panoply of hues that we collected as we snapped away with our trusty iPhone. 
Enjoy!

Right Now: The Greenest Greens You'll EVER See!

Verdant!
That's the way to describe the way things are becoming right here, right now.
After a rather cool March (and much of April as well)  we can now look forward to some beautiful spring days under wonderful, rapturously blue skies with MUCH warmer weather midweek.
And this is that special time of the year when the greenest of the greens appear. It's that bright, new green -- the green that the Italians call primavera which literally means first green. It so wonderfully vivid.
Here and there this fresh, ultra bright green is dotted with blossoms. But it's the green, green, green everywhere that captivates us just now.
We took some quick photos. Enjoy!
