Carnations in the Sun


I got these lovely carnations for my birthday. 
They were sitting on my kitchen windowsill in the sun and I felt the need to take some pictures. 

I was also given some beautiful lilies which I will be pointing my camera at too. :)) 
Do you think the message may have got out that I love flowers?!!

Did you spot my deliberate error on my last post, cough cough. 
The first picture I put up had already posted before. I'm not sure how I did that, I think  I was going to put a different one up but for the life of me I can't remember which one it was.  
So I apologise for that!!!

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone for the lovely birthday wishes you sent my way - I really appreciate every one of them.  
You are a lovely lot :)))

I also found this quote which made me stop and think.

Don't Just Count Your Years
Make Your Years Count 
(Ernest Meyer)

Now I'm not sure who Mr Meyer is/was but he was surely a very wise man!!!

I think I have wittered on enough for today so, I am
