Dahlia - 'Blue Bell'

Throwing buds everywhere.

Normally I like to keep the off shoots out of it - that's just my way, but in this case it was impossible but additionally, I kind of like it here. This is. anew dahlia for us and it is quite noticeable how much the colour changes according to the light.....well all flowers do, but this one more than most.

Macro Mondays: Bells

... without sound

The bell tower of Julita church, Sweden. Hasselblad X1D.

We never look at the grass, though it is ubiquitous. If it's left alone to shake its hair loose it will produce tiny tassels, miniature and beautiful, that I'd never noticed before. Beauty is so often size and commotion for us, and fancy labels, that the subterfuge of loveliness all around us goes unseen.

― Keith Miller

While Calibrachoa million bells may be a fairly new species, this dazzling little plant is a must-have in the garden. Its name comes from the fact that it features hundreds of small, bell-like flowers that resemble miniature petunias. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for use in hanging baskets, containers or as a small area ground cover. (from gardeningknowhow,com)

Maroon Bells

Pitkin County, Colorado

After a night of torrential rain -- and snow in the higher elevations -- the clouds parted just before noon, revealing stunning views of Maroon Bells with a dusting of snow.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

The bell tower is part of the Virgin Mary Church on the main street of Megalochori on the island of Santorini.

The bell pepper is the fruit of plants in the Grossum cultivar group of the species Capsicum annuum. Cultivars of the plant produce fruits in different colours, including red, yellow, orange, green, white, and purple. Bell peppers are sometimes grouped with less pungent pepper varieties as "sweet peppers".

This superb massif of roses was too tempting, especially with the beautiful Provencal bell tower in the background!

Ce superbe massif de roses était trop tentant, surtout avec le beau clocher provençal en arrière plan !

I've had this little bell in my night stand drawer for as long as I can remember. I bought it at an antique store for a couple of bucks. The surface remains untouched and I've never cleaned it. It measures 1 5/8 in. tall by 1 1/2 in. wide.

Day 19 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes.

Seven - James

"Ring, ring the bells

wake the town

everyone is sleeping

shout at the crowd

wake them up

this anger is deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what is happen

I can't see a thing through my ambition

I no longer feel my God is watching over me

Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming

This is not the end, a new beginning

I new longer feel my God is watching

Break, break the code

Concentrate,

let the door swing open

See, through all my walls

All my floors, now I'm in deeper than sleep

When you let me fly,

grew my own wings,

now I'm tall as the sky

When you let my drown

grew gills and fins

Now I am as deep as the sea

When, you let my die,

my spirits free

There's nothing challenging me"

Smile on Saturday - Ring the bell

This bell is my dog's belongings, a charm that she always wear on her collar.

When I took it off from her collar to take a picture of it, she was angry, "It's mine!!!"

This song was my father in law’s favorite Christmas carol. He and my wife Toni were softly and slowly singing it in the hospital the day he passed away during the Christmas season in 2008. This photo is for her.

Yesterday afternoon I went out into the garden to look for Fynn because a big thunderstorm was approaching and I didn't want him to stay outdoors. Fynn wouldn't come in on his own as he loves thunderstorms. I found him in the bell flowers where he took a nap. It was already bginning to rain but of course I had to take a few photos before I picked Fynn up and carried him indoors where he continued his nap on the sofa.
