Round Robin Photo Challenges: Captioned

The Round Robin this time around was to do
your one perfect scene with a caption.
I know I am early.
I am here Friday night and the posts go up Saturday.
But I am going to be too busy to do this tomorrow.


For days I have been driving by this empty lot.
It is crazy wild with flowers.

But there is a chain link fence around it,
so I figured it would not work.

Then I remembered a lovely saying I saw on a card.

Bloom where you are planted.

Which just goes to show you can find beauty
anywhere if you look at things the right way.

Then the problem became choosing just one flower.

I could not do it.

So my perfect scene is a collage.

Have a beautiful day.

I love your collage. This year, because of the rain, we've had such wonderful wildflowers. I like the positioning of the wildflowers against the chain-link fence. Gotta be free.

Those flowers are beautiful. They sure brightened my day! Thanks...and I like the extra little element of the fence.

Snow has just melted here no flowers yet so yours bring hope.

Flowery Collage...just gorgeous.

"Bloom Where You Are Planted"...
Used that as a theme one year when I directed a summer school session.

This brought back so many fond memories of those little ones blooming all summer long.

Thanks.

That's the perfect caption -- even if you feel caged, you still can bloom. I feel better already.

I have heard that saying over the years but it is more meaningful to me here, with these lovely flowers, than it has been before. Very nice!

I love it! What an excellent way to live your life: bloom where you are planted! You made me smile after a really exhausting day outside. Thank you!

Angela said...

Beautiful! I love blooming where I'm planted. I also love moving my roots and loving my life because I moved even more! ;) xoxoxox

I love the way you put this together, and the fencing just adds to the concept. Well done!

I know the trouble with just one flower! Lovely collage. Good caption.

Although in northern Indiana, we only have a few hardy flowers peeking through the dirt. Our spring is off to slow start. However, seeing your flowers and reading your caption, remind me to bloom here where I am planted.
