And creative, since I have to envision what colors to use and how they will look together.<br /><br />You know me: I LOVE the sheep whenever I see them. Not growing up around them in America makes me like them even more. Here they are everywhere! :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-90838381089224713122013-02-18T23:56:38.950+01:002013-02-18T23:56:38.950+01:00I neglected to comment on the V&V post how bea...I neglected to comment on the V&V post how beautiful your coloring effort is!

She'd be the first to tell you if she couldn't do something, but I'm not sure what it would be. Actually, I do know: she has a real mistrust of the internet and computers, having no clue about how they work most of the time. I think it's probably a healthy fear, to be honest!<br /><br />Speaking of which, it's never fun being without my laptop. But it's probably a good exercise once in awhile, now that I have it back. Easy to say now. :)<br /><br />I know you love the sheep as much as I do. The brethren! May they live forever.

The Polder is certainly beautiful when blanketed with snow. No snow here, we are in the mid 50s today and going to the high 60s this week. Your flower pictures are great. Looking at hyacinths makes me sad, in a way. You see my mother used to buy a potted hyacinth for my birthday, each year. On the morning of 26 March (my birthday) there would be a potted hyacinth near my café au lait at breakfast – every year. So, when I see them I remember this – it’s a little remembrance of things of my past in France.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-53187306813283047272013-01-28T21:29:27.566+01:002013-01-28T21:29:27.566+01:00Snow and ice, you have been so lucky that the last...Snow and ice, you have been so lucky that the last 4 years we had both of them.<br />I always smile when you see 'sheeps' in the polder. I have to stop and you get some pictures. I intended to get a nice shot myself.... NO WAY, the moment they spotted me, off they ran, to the far end of the meadow.....<br />You took some fabulous shots of the amaryllis and the hyacinth. To me the hyacinth on water, is and will be, always spectacular.<br />The amaryllis is a treat, for so little money, so much pleasure.<br />Great post again with beautiful pictures.<br /><br />Astridhttp://www.picturit.shutterchance.com/noreply@blogger.com
