Just a post because…. because it’s pouring with rain and seeing these photos will brighten up my day (and maybe yours); because flowers, (especially after rain) have a power to lift the spirit and lighten the sadness felt by so many it seems; because this fuchsia cheers me up every time I walk up my path to my front door; because it’s pretty in pink! (See all my floral images on my gallery here: Flora)
This is a wider view of the fuchsia plant, hanging with blooms, each one lovelier than the rest!
And last is a fantasy fun blur image, in a tunnel whirl of pink! Have a wonderful weekend. (See all my blurry images in my gallery here: When Life is a Blur )
A real treat for our eyes, splendid! Thank you Ellie 🙂
I’m so glad you like it too, thanks Eleftheria! I was glad to rediscover it for the theme today.
Hi Ellie, my name is epa mustopa (indonesian). I agree with your main idea on your post, that flower seems more beautiful when the rain fall. The water on flower look like jewel. I invite you on my blog to share all about flower. Sorry my english is not well yet.
Thank you for your comment, Epa! I appreciate your thoughts. I visited your blog and enjoyed seeing your photographs and reading the content (translated for me by Google translate). I am very sorry to hear about your father. You wrote a lovely piece about it, I think.
Be well, all the best,
Ellie
Loved the pink swirl.
Thanks so much for that comment, Valerie! I’m glad you like it.
Beautiful series Ellie
Thank you, Simon, and thank you for sharing my post!
Ha! Lovely to see playfulness. The blurry image put me in mind of Freeman Patterson who has developed a kind of theology of picture making.
Nice to hear from you, Kim! It’s true that the fun in blur is liberating! I’m glad you liked it. FP does do some lovely examples.
Ellie, the word ‘luscious’ springs to mind. The fuschia is totally gorgeous and your shots are amazing. Thank you for brightening my day 🙂
Trust my favourite wordsmith to find the exact word! Thanks Prue, I’m glad it brightened your day!
They do Cheer us. They are a lovely color and so delicate looking. It is nice to have them where you pass by all the time. I agree they do lift your spirits, when you are down or just brighten them when you pass by. My mom just loved them. We had them around almost every year. Thanks for sharing
What a lovely thought, I can imagine your mother loving these flowers, Linda. Thanks for the comment.
So so lovely, Ellie! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks a lot Cynthia!
