FRIDAY FLOWERS! :)

Last Sunday seems like such a long time ago! It was a Glorious Day (It has been raining, hailing, windy, thundering etc., ever since) and we actually got to sit outside and have lunch on the patio at one of our fav. restaurants Papa Haydn, if you are ever in Portland you have to go there they have THE BEST DESSERTS ever, big gooey yummy creations!

So, as the Rhoddies are blooming we went off to the
Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens which is part of the Portland Parks and Rec. we are so lucky that our local area has a vast amount of parks with diverse environments maintained by the City of Portland. YAY! :)

So, I am very excited to show you this week's Friday Flowers which are the beautiful Rhododendrons :)

The Bees are busy already :)

This is my absolute fav. :)

This is a close 2nd, I love the pink shimmering thru when the sunlight hits it :)

These guys were so busy, nonchalant, it cracked me up :)

And, of course I couldn't resist taking a couple of shots of the Ducklings :) Can you imagine having 11 to take care of (I hear you screaming from here :)

Cute fluff ball and beautiful markings :) (Wood Duck)

I really hope you enjoyed The Rhododendrons :)

There is still time to enter to win a beautiful Art Card by Sherri Pekks check the details here it is so easy to enter and if you missed the Q. & A. with her you should check it out on my blog :)
