Jet Lag Bloom Day, February 2010

Bloom day has passed ... it was February 15th but I was on the red eye flying back from Mexico. There were plenty of blooms in Puerto Vallarta. For those of you still covered in snow (as I am once again), please enjoy the sights of sunny Mexico and gardens in bloom. These photos were taken on a house tour sponsored by the Friendship Club. Our guides were volunteers and fees for the tour are donated to local children. We visited four homes in old town - three along the coast and one in the middle of downtown - spectacular!

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 

Bloom day is the 15th of each month and is hosted (and created by) Carol at May Dreams Gardens. Muchas gracias!

  6. Violet Fern,
    What a wonderful adventure to chase away those winter blues. Your photos are beautiful, I just love the water fountain with the large shell beneath. And, the garden in that 4th image looks positively breathtaking. I hope you had a fabulous time!
