For the Love of Love …


 

 

 For the Love of Love  &  For All the Ones You Hold so Dear …

And why the reds ?

Because it’s the colour of the  ♥ and a symbol of warmth and feeling.

 

♥ For the Love of Love ♥

♥ For the Love of Love ♥

 

And For the Heart of the Rose …

 

For the ♥ of the Rose ...

For the ♥ of the Rose …

 

Love Makes Life so Sweet even without a box of chocolates.

 

sweet thoughts with empty boxes ...

sweet thoughts with empty boxes …

 

Make it special with beautiful thoughts and some rose petals.

 

Truths of Life & Beautiful Thoughts ...

Truths of Life & Beautiful Thoughts …

 

♥ For the Love of Love ♥

♥ For the Love of Love ♥

 

Just a quick post to Wish you All a Happy Sunday & Valentine’s Day

 

still a lot of catching up to do … but sending some roses to you makes me feel better  ♥ ♥ ♥

 

♥ love ♥ flowers ♥ sentiments ♥

♥ love  ♥  flowers  ♥  sentiments  …  ♥

Thank you very much, dear Doda, love is represented in all the creatures on the planet, each in its own way gives us his love, an animal with a purring cat or dog barking, a bird chirping, etc. a flower gives us his beautiful fragrance, so everyone gives his love, in the way that can prove it.🐕🙅🏻🕊🐈🌹

    • Please read the Stoic maxim and don’t give a second thought to the lost deal … Your warmest thoughts and wishes have brightened my day and I treasure them along with your telling forestscapes and your lyric art.Our weather is quite erratic and with yo-yoing temps that confuse nature.The first feathered singers arrived happily at the garden,the buds started awakening until unexpected snow flakes silently veiled them in a thin white mantle.”Godzilla” El Niño’s impact is obvious worldwide,but it will gradually fade before it leaves us,in June.I hope La Niña won’t follow.Let’s leave our Big Mother,nature,decide.All the best to you ~ Hope your forthcoming exhibit gets the success it deserves 🙂 xxx
