Pansy Parade
Uploaded: June 10, 2011 06:24:55
Still not able to do much traveling very far from home, so this is one from the archives. Usually I'm attracted to flowers with eye-popping bright colors, but I love the soft blues of these from Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio. It's Friday - enjoy the day, everyone! For me, happiness is sleeping a little later than usual and waking up to a pot of freshly ground Starbucks coffee!

Love that lilac color. Pansies are so sweet. :) #9453871Ron McEwan June 10, 2011
I am envious Monnie, I have tried and always fail to get a pansy like this. There are a multiple reasons why I failed. I have to start with my lazy behind and do some real work on composition for one and light to start with. You sure nailed this one. #9453910Joy Rector June 10, 2011

BEAUTIFUL FLOWER Love your taste in florals but have to say YUK to your choice of coffee. Would rather drink NYC gutter water than Starbucks Coffee. Actually I consider them about the sameLet the discussion on coffee begin ;o)
We will then move on to BEER ;o)))))
HAPPY SHOOTING

OK, coffee folks - Jack has issued a challenge! I'm not fond of DD coffee. My favorites actually come from the Leelanau Coffee Roasting Co. in Leelanau, Michigan (order it online at www.coffeeguys.com), but I do love the Starbucks special roasts like French and Kenya.Beer? No contest. Yuengling, from America's oldest brewery based in Pottsville, Pa. Or, on a really hot day, give me a Bud Light Lime! #9454337
Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna June 10, 2011
OK...first off this is a gorgeous image of these beauties, Monnie!Second off...I don't like either coffee or beer! So I guess I can't add anything to the challenge! :-) k #9454511

A beautiful floral close up and capture Monnie!It is good to hear Jack is progressing well at the moment! I have to go in for day surgery to have a defibulator installed in two weeks time, then hopefully that is the end of hospitals for a while! Please give my best regards to Jack! #9454658

Pretty little beauties Monnie, planted some just like it this year and they are not doing as well as I hoped, but it's early. No caffeine for me most the time, but I like a Leinekugel, Summer Shandy, Chippewa Fall, WI. But mostly Miller Lite, Milwaukee, WI. #9454749Michelle Alton June 11, 2011
Monnie, from the crowd of praising comments, you KNOW this is a winner! What a beauty; colors are soft and lovely. I was just imploring my gardener neighbor to plant some Johnny-Jumpups. They are such a gorgeous form of ground cover! #9454909

Love the gorgeous, yet delicate color of these pansies, Monnie! A truly beautiful capture of them! Not a big fan of Starbucks - we buy our coffee online and drink Cafe Du Monde French Market. No beer though, but love wine! #9457393Patricia A. Stalter July 28, 2011
