350: Holiday Flowers

Yesterday was the last day of the school year and I am now on holiday! This beautiful bunch of carnations was given to me.

  1. Enjoy! We've had a week already, and it's rained for most of it. I hope the worst is over now, especially for those poor people in the Nelson area.

    The carnations are a beautiful colour.

  2. Yes, the Nelson region has really copped it- what incredible rainfall- more like what you might rarely expect in Haast. The carnations are a beautiful shade of red. I love looking at them!

  3. Beautiful flowers! I know you deserve them because teaching is not something I could do. I have a lot of respect for teachers. Love your drapes by the way..

  4. The drapes cheer me up on cold winter's nights!- though I hope we don't have too many of those in the near future.

  6. -12!!!! Coldest I have ever been in was -6 and that was in Madrid believe it or not. Fountains were all frozen and pigeons were walking on the ice.

  7. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who's eyes went straight to those beautiful drapes!! The flowers aren't bad either!! :-) Enjoy the holiday! Hard to believe your year of photos is nearly done!

  8. Karin, I think that one of the dangers of the #365 is that the year does seem to roll from beginning to end awfully quickly! Margaret
