Love all of your flower shots Juliette! I couldn't agree with you more on this one…Flowers are my favorite thing to shoot and they never cease to amaze me….the varieties, the colors, the delicacy of them yet their ability to withstand the elements…flowers are amazing and they make me happy as well..please stop by my blog if and when time permits and check out some of my flower shots…think you will enjoy them or I hope at least! Thanks for sharing and have a beautiful weekend! <3

Wow! Absolutely lovely, I love the flowers – your garden must be a riot of colour. I'm not sure if Wisconsin is 'up north' or further south, but summer seems to have reached you early. Love them all, but the clematis gives me joy.
