Anemone Flower

I saw this beauty at the nursery last week and 

just had to take it home! 




It was a lovely sunny day and this Anemone was enjoying 

the sunshine as much as I was. 




With morning showers,  it takes cover,




only to start pointing it's face towards the light again.













I took the shot below, from my art room window. 

Suddenly, discovering new flowers has inspired me to 

practice drawing again. 














I love the simpleness of this flower. 

It sort of reminds me of the flowers I used to 

draw when I was a kid.

A circle, then a few big petals, followed by a long, thick stem. 

Did you draw those too?








We are anticipating lovely weather this weekend.

It's supposed to hit 70 degrees by Sunday!

Happy Easter!


Becca

What stunningly beautiful shots and I'm impressed by your drawing too. What a pleasure to view your blog today.
That is a very pretty flower. I find it so amazing how some flowers truly do open up when the sun is out and then close up for the night or when weather conditions are not so good. We have dust here again. Yuck! Pretty drawing. Enjoy the weekend. Tammy

Gorgeous photo Becca! I grew some of these last year - although none in this colour. Sensational flowers aren't they. YOu have captured this one so beautifully.

The word lovely seems to be not enough to describe this adorable as well as charming flower.
