Breaking the Bouquet Rules

Merry Christmas! My gift to you is a collection of my summer bouquets       

Sure, there may be rules about building bouquets.

But I pick what looks pretty...

or interesting...

or captures my attention.

Wild or cultivated...

different colors...

or all the same...

formal...

or casual...

I don't follow any rules except one. It has to fit in a vase.

Winter Solstice

Today is the winter solstice, a celebration of daylight returning in the midst of darkness. The bird on the feeder wishes you warmth and coziness today and all winter long. Happy holidays to everyone!
