Monday we took a little road trip to the Northern Division of Kettle Moraine State Park. Mauthie Lake is inland from Lake Michigan and the land temperature was about 10 F warmer than where we live. We arrived early and had a wonderful walk before the trails started to crowd up. It was a perfect Wisconsin Spring day.

Here's a link to more information about the area. The terrain was shaped by the last Ice Age.

Multi-colored plumeria (Plumeria rubra) burst into bloom to greet the vernal equinox in Brasília.

I'm very proud of my new dress. Isn't it perfect for my walks on these wonderful Spring days?

I noticed how many gorgeous flowers were blooming in my front yard, so decided to do a quick shoot with No-Bangs Francie and TNT Skipper, who were already in their Spring finery! (Francie in 'Floating-In' from 1968 and Skipper in 'Fancy Pants- without the pants! - from 1970.)

It's lovely to see life and colours return to the gardens and parks. Among the first flowers are always the pretty spring squills (Scillas) which dot the meadows along with crocus flowers and daisies. They are flowering in my garden too at the moment but this is a photo I took at the park Bluehendes Barock at Ludwigsburg.

I need cheering up today and, since Valentines Day goes well with flowers here is a series of lovely flower macros. May the spring come quickly and may all your dreams come through. To hope and to love! Happy Valentines!

I spent the weekend sewing dresses for the girls.
