Pollinator Garden Photo: Wounded Wings in Milton

Has it really been almost a year and a half since I last blogged here? Times flies, whether you're having fun or not!

Don't get me wrong, I have had a lot of fun in my absence. But, just like this beautiful butterfly I met in the Pollinator Preserve in historic Milton, my wings were wounded and it took me awhile to fly again. Or perhaps flutter is a better word. I still hover low enough to occasionally crash into things.

In any case, my monthly goal is to upload a new flower photo to my Fine Art America gallery and blog about it here for Flower Friday. Happy New Year!

Purple Flower Photo: Waterlily at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania

It's been a stressful summer. So last Thursday my parents and I decided we needed flower therapy, and took a day trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.

I was delighted that the waterlilies were in bloom. Don't worry, this purple waterlily wasn't harmed to be in my Manicure Monday photo - it was part of an information station where guests could get a closer look at the flower without falling into the man-made ponds.

I took more than a hundred photos of plants and will be slowly sharing them in future Flower Fridays.

Featured Flower Picks:

Purple Roses Nail Art • Dune Sunflower • Gold Leaf Nail Art
