White gaura

These white gaura flowers are really pretty and elegant looking, and would be a nice addition to any flowerbed.

Delicate peony

This peony is really pretty with large, soft pink petals peeling back to expose the ruffled cream petals within. They look great in a vase and they smell nice too.

Lilies

I recently left my job and as a parting gift my old work colleagues gave me a card with some lovely messages, a gift card to buy something nice with and these beautiful lilies. I managed to get them home on the tube in one piece (although I did poke a few people with the long stems), and they’re now sitting on the kitchen table brightening up the room.

1st birthday party

Posted on July 30, 2015 by myeye1

It was my niece’s first birthday recently, and her mum (my younger sister) decided to throw her a birthday bash. The theme, in case, you haven’t guessed, was a very girly, pretty, ‘pink’. My sister, who is very talented in making cakes, made a beautiful birthday cake with matching cupcakes and biscuits, and if that wasn’t enough, she also had a sweet table with all things sugary and pink too.

I thought the cake was lovely; I especially liked the ruffles in different shades and the sparkly tiara as a finishing touch.

My niece received lots of presents and birthday cards from loved ones, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her party. I pray that she has a happy, healthy, long life ahead of her.

WPC: Close up

Posted on July 28, 2015 by myeye1

Those that have been following my blog for a while know I love a close up of a pretty flower. I especially like tulips which look elegant and fun, and come in an array of colours. This such flower has petals with interesting pink strokes, almost making them look like bird feathers.

Pink peek

I think this is such a pretty flower and although some might consider it simple, I like that’s it’s easy on the eye and bright in colour.

Take a load off

Alas, London is at a halt again due to the Underground tube strikes. On the plus side, on my long walk to the office I did come across this pretty bench which looks so inviting; shame I couldn’t make use of it though. I hope all those affected got to work ok and aren’t too tired from the journey in.

Cacti

I saw these miniature cacti and remembered how much my sister likes them so decided to get them for her. Within a few days I could see how they’d grown and sprouted pretty flowers

I love the pop of colour of the flowers and the almost geometrical pattern of the sharp thorns/leaves. I find these plants really interesting, each slightly different but part of the same family.

Layered

I love how the layers of the textured petals are so distinctive and separated and make the flower head look voluminous.

Apple blossom

My little nephew is really pleased with his apple tree and takes good care of it. These pretty blossoms should mean that he is able to enjoy the delicious fruits of his labour later in the year.
