Monday, Tuesday and the arboretum.

This morning I visited the arboretum in Rotterdam. As I hadn’t been there for a while of course I took my camera with me .

So no cruise photo’s today. Later this week or so I will post photo’s from beautiful St Petersburg (Russia) and more of the wonderful  places we visited.

A beautiful collage. The red roses really stand out against the green background and the creamy ones are so beautiful. Have a lovely week, Riet.

Wat ziet dit er mooi uit, Riet. Ik weet zeker dat ik ook erg van zo'n bezoek zou genieten. Alles staat ook zo mooi in bloei.

Een fijne week! Liefs, Ingrid

Nothing is as good as seeing God's gifts first hand. A great post it still must be cool in your little piece of paradise. We are in the first of summer 95 deg.
I love yellow roses and they look great to me. Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I have visited coming over from Dear Little Red House. Enjoy Kathy

Gorgeous world of flowers and other plants. It would be so lovely to wander here. And love the bird by the water too.

Such beauty there, even the one that is a wee bit sad, had lovely shades of colour to it. I am letting everyone know, as some have sent messages... I'll be back next week. Having some difficulty adjusting to new medication and old ones, but will in time~

Ja het groen spat overal de grond uit dankzij het warme weer en af en toe een buitje.

Hi Riet,

I believe that bird is a blue heron, so you showed us two blues today! Thanks for playing.

Happy Blue Monday!
