Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books. To participate, post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

Well, it has been snowing forever here and I can’t stand the thought of posting any snowy photos. Instead, I thought I would dig back in the archives a little and I found some photos from a trip I took to Seattle in 2008. We visited a conservatory and took a walk through the greenhouses. Here are a few of the interesting plants I saw…

    A wonderful contrast of textures, colours and shapes in your selection today. Love the pink fluffy tails!

    These photos certainly warm things up. Though it’s been in the seventies all week here and beautiful….

  5. Comment by trish:

    Oh wow! It is certainly lovely to see something green and blooming. Those are beautiful.

  6. Comment by Carolyn Wilker:

    I thought those first ones might have come from the cactus family with all the prickles. Love the yellow and the pink blossoms too. My photos are not of snow either.

    I wonder what the plant with the long pink fluffy tails is called. Cool!

    Those are so pretty! I like them all, but I think the second one is my favorite of the bunch.

  11. Comment by Laurie Kazmierczak:

    The textures, shapes and colors pack a punch of beauty?? Happy week-end?

    Love that last one. You obviously felt the same as me because I plumped for photos of flowers in Paris on a sunny day rather than more snow and ice. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/GVIbC

    Such pretty color! A perfect post if you need a break from snow.

    What a delightful spring visit, it’s been brutally cold and wintery here too.

  15. Comment by Meghan:

    It’s been snowing here forever too. This makes me want to go look up more spring and summery photos. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that before!
