Beauty of the Day

Like Sally from my beautiful things,

I was amazed by the flower display

in our little town centre just up the road from me.

At least I know where some of the money goes I pay to the council.

See for yourself:

 

 

 

A lovely display

every time I go shopping!

Very enjoyable!

 

 

Spanish Beauty

We found this Spanish flower

in Mallorca.

Google tells me: it is a Bougainvillea

and can grow here in a conservatory too!

It is fascinating with 3 dark pink leaves

and 3 white tiny blossoms inside.

What a marvel!

Sit back and enjoy!

 

Piece of Paradise

As you can read on my last post a beach makes me happy.

That is mainly because – for me – a beach has to have palm trees and I loooove them.

I have had the great opportunity to go to a beach in the north of Mallorca.

I saw many palm trees , all different ones:

short palm trees

tall palm trees

thin palm trees

thick palm trees

romantic palm trees….

 

and I love them all, I just wanted to hug them all!

 

I’ll leave you with some other beautiful breath taking views:
