The bees are enchanting me along with all the blues..You know..they never object to being photoe'd..they are gentle and sweet~
The baptisias are some of my favorite blue perennials..I just wished they lasted a touch longer~
Ok a lot longer~
They develop into large clumps that stand like focal points in the garden~
Many other blues are loving the Baptisias also..How lucky to have had these Iris blooming nearby~
A marriage made in heaven~
Have I mentioned I love blue in the garden? and so do the fairies:)♥
All the blues are fun to try and paint different ways~
The lavender ..is a photo I took a while back and one of the photos
Fifi featured in Romantic Prairie Style Magazine..Seeing it in print.. was a lovely experience for me.A little keeper moment~
It seems like 100 years ago that I made this cookie for
Fifi.. It has nothing to do with the magazine..But to me ..way back then..yrs ago..it was
Fifi..and it still is:)
Savor the moments...The Keeper Moments.
My blues will soon be a thing of the past..so I am sharing them now in case anyone is looking for blue suggestions for their garden..~
I, too, love blue in the garden--and bees! Your photos are lovely.

I love to add blues to my garden. Wish I had your climate! Thanks for sharing, Monique. Love the watercolors you've done. I want to explore more with paint, but need to carve out a little time just for me.
ReplyDeleteMy husband adores blue in the garden. I can't wait to show him this. Merci Monique.

ReplyDeleteBues and purples are my favorite shades in the garden. Though mine aren't as lovely as you. How wonderful to see your photo in a magazine!

I loved your photographs in the magazine. You did such a lovely job! Well done you!!! Love and hugs! xxoo
