Strike a pose....

 Doesn't it look like the flower is posing for the picture? I just love the way this photo turned out. My daughter took the dog for a walk and came back with three of these beauties. Shhhh....don't tell the neighbors. {They didn't come from my yard.} Ha! Anyways, I just wanted to share a captured floral moment. Remember to take time to smell the flowers today!
Enjoy,

The July Flower

 I've been away a bit. Taking advantage of the lazy,hazy ,hot and sticky and pretty much relaxing Summer days! I hope you all are too! We just received the back to school list in the mail today. Hard to believe it's already around the corner. Every Summer seems to breeze on by a bit faster as my children get older.

 Well I thought I would share The July flower today! Since we still are in July. It is the Double Stock Flower!
 The stock flower is often associated with beautiful symbolism. They are most commonly said to represent a contented and happy life; however, they are also thought to mean undying affection and love, as well as lasting beauty. Because of these symbols, stock flowers are often given as gifts as emblems of love, contentment and the wish for the recipient to be as happy and beautiful tomorrow as they are today. This information was found on Flowers.org.
 Wishing you all a happy July Day!
