Our Beautiful World 40 ~ Bloom

This week at 

Our Beautiful World

We have a new DT from Germany joining us

Welcome Manuela!!!!

And we are playing along with the word chosen by Bonita

BLOOM

I edit this photo with photoshop since Picmonkey doesn't allowed me to use anymore, it said that I need to update my computer browser, I did but they still think it is "vintage", I don't get it???? Any tips from you my blog friends?

...............

I love sweet pink bloom on the tree at Arcadia, CA

I love the pretty rose sitting in a bowl of water, my girlfriend Ann had this on her table when I visited her in Grafing, Germany, 2013.

they are from her backyard

I love the dark pink Hydragreas growing in the mud

and those growing in the pot too

I just love pretty bloom

especially when they are 

PINK

come play along with us

Last night we met up with Linda and Bruce for dinner, it was great to see them again after a long break.

After dinner, my husband and I went to The Smith Center for Chris Botti's concert, we watched him 3 times, this is by far the best concerts he had.
