The summer heat is on but the lovely summer sunshine is my bonus.
The flowers kept in the corners of my home give me company in these lonely summer afternoons. Their bright colors and the gentle fragrance fills my heart with fond memories of my friends.
Friends who have stood by me in the difficult times. Friends who have shared the little joys and the sweet moments of my life. Friends who have been a shoulder to lean on when I needed them and friends who have parted ways to unknown lands....
Life is a garden
Good friends are the flowers,
And times spent together
Life's happiest hours . . .
And friendship, like flowers,
Blooms, ever more fair
When carefully tended
By dear friends who care . . .
And life's lovely garden
Would be sweet by far,
If all who passed through it
Were as nice as you are.

These lines sum up a lot of emotions. These benign floral beauties arranged on the center table of my home inspired me to start a project series focusing on flowers and my friends. So I asked my Flickr friends to send me snaps of the flowers at the corners of their homes. Soon my mail box was flooded with pretty pictures of lovely nooks and corners bedecked with flowers.
As a prelude to the series, here are some pictures of my Floral friends who've given me and my corners company and shared my ruminations and apprehensions in the summer afternoons. i miss them, my friends and as they say....
life's lovely garden would be sweet if all who passed through it were as nice as you are.
Hope you all enjoy this as I enjoyed them at my home.....
