Lombard Street

Today I wondered wether the bushes along Lombard Street

 in San Francisco are hydrangeas.

Looking through some pictures of the famous street

on the internet, I should find the answer,

was my idea.

And so I did

look through some pictures

on the internet.

Mmmmm.

Could be hydrangeas

 

Oh yeah,

hydrangeas allright!

No doubt about it anymore now!!!

Hydrangea once more

Took these pics of the hydrangeas in our garden today.

Sea of flowers

An explosion of colours, found at happyseeds.

first bloom

We welcomed the first cosmos blooming in our garden today.

Inspiration

Found at villa d'esta.
 

Love this colourcombination: fresh and light with some colourful touches.
And all shades of purple happen to be some of my favourite colours.

the garden

Found this colourful bouquet on this site posted as"garden eye candy".
We still have to wait for the first cosmos to bloom in our garden.
Won't take that long anymore though.
Took this picture this afternoon.

In the mean time,

we keep enjoying the hydrangeas in full bloom.

And these, as cosmos, also self-sown annuals!

K studio

Don't these pieces of furniture just look as if they stepped out of a fairytale?

Discovered them at kstudio today.

Nature combined with old cupboards and closets

and beautifully decorated by Kien Hertoghs !

Each piece is unique of course.

Recycledesign it's called.

Definitely an eyecatcher in the home!

Hydrangeas

Can't overlook them in the garden these days,

their colorful flowerheads,

they demand all the attention.

Also they need watering a lot now.

Don't forget! Hydrangeas love water!

 

butterflies

This butterfly really liked my daughter today.
It sat on her arm over and over again.
"It tickles a bit"

Some of the other butterflies in our garden today.
They preferred flowers.
