When I started this challenge, I promised myself that I would come up with topics that were not based on photographs but my written words. I participate in several different theme based memes on my photography blog, and I wanted this to be different. However, the only thing that keeps coming to my head for the letter “F” is FLOWERS. Maybe that is because spring has been here for two weeks now, and I think we have had only about 3 days of anything resembling spring like weather.

I love flowers, any kind of flower. I have patiently waited for the temperatures to warm long enough to help the daffodils bloom along our walk…. yellow daffodils, red roses, purple iris, I love them all.
I love taking pictures of flowers. Living in Florida for several years there was always something in bloom.

I can’t blog about the letter “F” without also sharing a picture of my favorite footwear… FLIP FLOPS!
Thanks A-Latte for stopping by,

My heart aches for your mother, but that's a beautiful photo of her hands, holding a rose for remembrance. I like this post – thanks for sharing the photos!
Glad to be following from the A-Z. Always happy to find another single mom!
Gorgeous flowers Martha! Sounds like we are both trying to get a little more writing in – although I haven't been doing much with my photography since my mom passed away so I'm trying to regain my touch with photography too. Nothing wrong with us doing both
Stunning flowers. But your mother's hands make them all pale in comparison. Lovely photo.From a fellow A-to-Z'er.
These flowers are gorgeous!
Beautiful… but the truest beauty is in the hands of your mother and memory of your brother.
Yes! Flowers!!! And they are back and blooming now (finally!)
