I have written and re-written my little introductory paragraph here about fifteen times. Some days, I just can’t seem to string a compelling sentence together. (usually those are the days that my esteemed family is nearby making all manner of noise. ahem.) I suppose it’s a good thing that I don’t really have to write anything here. I can just let the pretty pictures do the talking… (and there are some really pretty pictures this week!)

Love your images 🙂
Thanks! (Although, I should point out, in case it wasn’t clear, that I didn’t take these particular photos – they’re pictures I liked from other photographers on flickr.)
They are very pretty – I love them, too!
