Fountains

My oldest son, who is now 4, is fascinated by fountains. His favorite parks and plazas in our area are the ones that have fountains!

I went through most of the photos that I have taken during the last few years searching for the ones with fountains and organizing them into a separate folder, so I can make a slide show for my son to watch. 

I thought I’ll share the prettiest ones with you.

This one is my favorite photo. I took it at Capitol Park in Sacramento, California.

This small fountain surrounded by lush greenery is located at the back of the Pacific House Museum in Monterey, California.

Another fountain in Monterey, California.

The Fountain of Warsaw in Paris is a gorgeous exhibit.

And this photo is from my visit to Denmark in 2010. These lovely fountains are located at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.

Red Tulips

Thank you for your kind comments and get-well wishes in my previous post. I was happy to read them all. It was nice to know that you haven’t forgotten me and haven’t unfollowed my blog even though I wasn’t blogging for quite a while.

One person suggested buying a bouquet of tulips, and I must say I loved that idea. Tulips are my favorite flowers since I was a child. Back in Ukraine, they are in bloom in May, the month of my birthday. My mom used to buy them for me on my B-days.

So I asked my husband to buy me tulips, and here they are. I don’t know why, but I expected white or pink ones, but I must say these bright red ones really did the trick. Red color radiates energy, don’t you agree?

I feel so much better now and everyone in the family is finally recovered!

Primroses

The holidays are behind, and I’ve been feeling rather down lately. For the past two months, the members of my family have been taking turns getting sick. And being sick is not fun at all.

To cheer myself a bit, I brought home a few pots of primroses from my last trip to a local nursery. 

I’ve seen these lovely flowers around the neighborhood. They pop out in winter and seem to require very little care. Just what I need right now!
