50mm LOVE

Enjoyed a lovely lunch today and also had the opportunity to practice with my friend Christine's 50mm lens.
We captured my first hollyhock bloom and some other friends from the garden.

Cottage Flora Thursday

I can't believe it! Last year I finally had a hollyhock bloom, and it only took 4 years. Not just one but few and every flower gave me seeds. I went crazy and plant them everywhere. Unfortunately the chickens got most of the ones planted directly in the ground but the ones in pots are already blooming. Look at the colors! I am joining Tracie for Cottage Flora Thursday

Ciao for now
