TUESDAY'S TREASURES hosted by Tom (The Backroads Traveller) and a brand new meme:
SEASONS hosted by Jesh (St. Germains Blog). - I hope you will check them both out.
First up for my Tuesday's Treasures shot:
I spotted these lamps on the side of a building in Weston, OR and just had to stop and take a picture of them. I don't think they work anymore but in their time I'm sure they were a real "treasure" of beauty. Even now they still look pretty cool.
Now here is my entry for the Seasons meme:
Yesterday I took a very long walk and on the way home I spotted this tree starting to bud and bloom. I had to take a picture...spring is just around the corner.
May you enjoy all the "treasures" and "seasons" in your life. - Have a great day.
those lamps are wonderful, i have never seen rose colored lamps and I LOVE THESE.. so beautiful. glad you stopped and snapped them...

ReplyDeletei love those antique-ish lanterns ... so cool!! i love style such as that.
ReplyDeletetrying to recall where you are, you are in Walla Walla, that is Texas, or that Kansas ... my headache is working on my brain. i will google it. i am shocked you have not visited more in Washington. i loved it there. we had a both in Oregon and Washington. can't wait to go again. that was August 2015. such an amazing area of the US. no more month long trips for a while. just weekends getaways, if the hubby has off. we will see??! things changed, but change is good. have a great week, thank you for stopping by, i enjoy your visits because you are one who gets me to chatting, i love talking, my hubby is not a talker, he is so quiet lately, stress at work. i appreciate the friendly times we bloggy friends share. so special.

You have a good eye They are lovely!
ReplyDeleteOooooh those lanterns, what an awesome shot!! We don't have any buds yet but it won't be too long now!!
ReplyDeleteThe lanterns are so beautiful and you discovered not only one but plenty of them. Such a great treasure decorating the old building.
ReplyDeleteYour "almost" spring photo is so lovely to me today. We are in the middle of a winter ice and snow storm. Buses cancelled, many business closed. People are stocking up on things just in case we lose power. I think Spring is a ways away for us just yet!
ReplyDeleteWow, Ida--Spring begins early where you live! We've had some nice days on the front range of Colorado but it has also snowed a few days after we were in the high 60's. True spring does not arrive here till almost June!
