« love thursday: simple gifts »

 

When I returned home from Atlanta last Saturday, these lovely lilies were waiting for me: Marcus and Alex bought them for me while I was away.  I was so thrilled, particularly because these are my favourite blossoms to photograph -- there's just so much going on in them, you know?

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Please leave your stories or links to your words or images of love in the comments, below. 

And just for fun, give someone an unexpected gift today.

 

(Incidentally, if you need some inspiration on what to give, my friend Mocha Momma has a great idea.)

What a beautiful gift! :)
My Love Thursday is here: Love

Flowers are such a sweet gift, I think, because they are all about the Right Now. They say, "I am thinking about you Right Now!" "Enjoy me Right Now!" "You are worth a decadent gift Right Now because you are a part of the awesomeness in our life!" "You are pretty and beautiful and all I want to see Right Now!" "Stop and enjoy the beauty in front of you Right Now!" I love flowers. Enjoy them!

Happy Love Thursday!
