It is time for Weekend Reflections and Friday’s Hunt
again. The word prompts are - the letter V, Favourite and Sunshine. When I went down to my old caravan recently to cut my grass, I spied this one VERY small VUNERABLE VIOLA and took 3 shots of it, then I did a little playing with the images and the results are seen below. Perhaps YOU have a favourite? Please VOTE! Of course V is also for VIDEO so I will show you that at the end of this post to brighten up your day.
Nearing the end of our Gobbins walk that I have been
sharing with you this week, this VERY
VERTICAL wind vane came into VIEW with its reflection being VISIBLE in this small pond.
Now this VIDEO shows a VARIETY of wonderful coloured Tulips and on any dull day (and we have had many this week) will bring a splash of SUNSHINE to your day. Photographed in Ward Park which is 2 minutes walk away from my home. CLICK HERE if it does not appear below.

Many thanks for your visit today and also to all your comments.
The video of all the flowers is wonderful! Here, we would call it a botanical garden! My favorite shot of the sweet little blue flower is the very first one!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Ginny you loved the flowers. they are pretty.
DeleteLove those dancing tulips. And the second viola has my vote (another v) this week.
ReplyDeleteVERYgood another V and I have added it in to my post now Thanks Glad you liked the Tupips on the video
DeleteHi Margaret, isn't it lovely to discover those teeny little flowers. Great viola images. And I LOVE the wind vane reflection . The best is I love hearing your beautiful accent in the video. Blessings Jo
ReplyDeleteYes it was so special and it was the only one. In over 30 years of having my caravan in this field I have never had one so I had to be careful not to mow over it! Glad to hear you liked my voice on the video.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I thought it was a Dog Violet. I was close it's the right colour.
ReplyDeleteI was using the Genus name on the post. Viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family Violaceae. It is the largest genus in the family, containing between 525 and 600 species. Dog-violet - Viola riviniana is probably what this one is.
DeleteWonderful violet colors in the first images. Love the video as well.

DeleteGreat reflection! I love what you did with the violet and the tulips are so beautiful. Have wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my 'playing' results with the Violets adn I ahve to admit, I also love the Tulips.
DeleteThe Viola is lovely!
ReplyDeleteLiz GLad you liked the Viola. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteI think number 2 is my favourite with number 3 a close second.
ReplyDeleteThese are very beautiful Margaret, great photos and video of the tulips. Thank you for your comments too. I did get your other one but as I moderate them and I am in a busy spell, I have not had time to go through them all. I have a family member who is very ill and also a friend who is in hospital, so though I have put posts on the blog ahead of time, I am still very slow reading comments. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteone of the smallest ponds I have seen, still reflecting things :)
ReplyDeleteHello, I love the gorgeous flowers, pretty colors and wonderful photos. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! Beautiful flower pictures!
ReplyDeletea VERY nice array of Vs.
ReplyDeleteI like the first image if the violet.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. That is a pretty picture of the vane with its reflection and all. We were in Banger back in 1980 as a refueling stopover on our way to Athens. We also stopped at Frankfort. Since then we've been in Ireland three times. Then one more as a Customs and Immigration entry point into the U.S.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the first picture. I wish it were taken a little closeup.

Hello,Margret,
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful photo gallery with the blue flowers. The video shows such a variety of tulips!!
Have a good day.
Pretty Violets, Neat reflection of the windmill and a lovely, lovely video of the daffodils. They've long since bloomed and gone here already so it was a pleasure seeing them on your blog.
ReplyDeletelovely photos of the viola...I found a teensy viola growing in my lawn just the other day!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteI like the second picture best. It shows the striations on the petals off so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are so beautifull!
ReplyDeleteI like all! :o)
Have a lucky week!

I could not possibly pick a favorite photo of the violet. They are all beautiful. I am very impressed with your variety of v items in this post. I loved hearing your voice in the video! Thank you so much for joining Friday's hunt.
ReplyDeleteVery simply beautiful show of the Creators gifts to us!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you got carried away with the letter 'v!' :D Lovely violet and tulips, nice surroundings of the wind vane.
