Springtime in Colorado is hard to beat!
Western canyon lands, mountains, foothills, or high plains, it is beautiful.
I love stepping outside my door when the crabapple, plum, and cherry trees
are in full bloom, and their sweet scents are carried on a warm breeze.

When the blossoms burst, I'm out to capture their fleeting glory.

I love to stand under a canopy of fragrant flowers
and listen to the bees bopping from one blossom to another.

Soon the ground will be littered with blossom snow and baby leaves will burgeon.
The blossoms may vanish, but my memories won't.
I'm linking to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date, Tom's Aloha Friday, and Nicole's Friday Face Off.

We saw this portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in the Charbonnel et Walker Shop
at the Old Bond Street end of the Royal Arcade Shopping Mall
in London in June 2014, as we searched for boxed candy.

Often Terry and I saw outrigger canoes on the ocean at Waikiki.
This group is paddling a Hilton Hawaiian Village outrigger canoe.

For Nicole: Modern and Ancient Faces ~
Terry had reached museum overload at the British Museum in London.
I knew when I spotted him that I'd been gone too long
taking a last look at the Assyrian Exhibit which I love.
My mother had told me about ancient Assyrian art when I was a young girl.
She and I both saw the exhibit in the British Museum, but not together.
The panels of the Royal Lion Hunt come from the North Palace in Nineveh,
an ancient Assyrian city in Upper Mesopotamia,
located in the modern-day city of Mosul in Northern Iraq.
The panels date to about 645-635 BC.
