WW: Pink Hibiscus Flower at Longwood Gardens

Pink Hibiscus Photo


"No other place to go, I wanna get away, let's get away!
Sunshine in my eyes, and the flamenco in the skies
The only way, you'll ever know, is to go, is to go!"
- One More Minute by Authority Zero

This pink hibiscus flower transported my mind from Longwood Gardens to a tropical island.

    Beautiful flower Kristin. Hibiscus flowers do well here in Jamaica. I must get some for my garden. Once we had a Hibiscus that put forth flowers in two different colours - some pink and some white. Thanks for hosting.

    The hibiscus is our national flower. It's called Bunga Raya in Malay.
    You've captured it beautifully, Kristin!

    Man, I don't know where that transports me.... Oh, to heaven and back, I'd say. WOW! Thanks for thinking The Big Tree is wonderful. The home that has it is for sale and I am praying that the new owners don't cut it down!!!! You pray, too, okay? okay.

    Your flower photos are always so cheery. I'm simply hopping this afternoon. No WW post up. I'm finding it difficult to get into the groove. Yesterday, I had additional medical tests and I'm still worn out. Maybe I'll catch a wave of energy and will be able to post something later this week. I'll keep my fingers crossed. lol Have a good evening!

    Very pretty! Hibiscus always reminds me of summer. They are associated with freedom of expression too.

    I love hibiscus flowers, but those just won't grow in this hot dry desert that I live in. (I did not see your usually linky in your post)

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...
