We came home last night world weary after a long day. In our Inbox we found…a virtual bunch of flowers from our friend Beatriz da Costa<\/a>…<\/p>\n

…and our whole mood changed!<\/p>\n

Bia sent us her own photo, but it’s easy enough to do with found ones<\/a>\u00a0to brighten someone’s day or wish them<\/p>\n

“SPRING ….PRINTEMPS….PRIMAVERA…..Happy days to All !!!!!!!!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

as Bia did.<\/p>\n

(There are lot’s of spots on the web like\u00a0this one<\/a>\u00a0or this one at the Public Digital Gallery<\/a> that offer non-copyright images for use; google images has a trove under “vintage botanical illustration.”<\/p>\n
