They are fleeting.
They are fragile.
They require
little water.
They’ll surprise you.
They’ll remind you
that they aren’t
and they are you.

I am delighted to be a part of the next Visible Monday, hosted by the lovely Patti from Not Dead Yet Style, click on the website link to see her outfit and those of many others.
I've been away for work much of this week so am behind on my blog post visits.
Look forward to dropping by soon!
I have to say that (in the best possible way) you look like a dreamy 70s teenager, in a picture-perfect garden. You evoke all the glories of summer and its fleeting blooms.
ReplyDeleteLove this look!
ReplyDeleteHello my dear friend I am back and very glad to see your post and the beautiful YOU in the garden.

Gorgeous, and dreamy is right! Another incredibly lovely post with a perfect poem. xoxo
ReplyDeleteVery sexy! I love the low cut jeans, shows off your amazing waistline and abs!
ReplyDeleteGirl, look at you! You've got the sort of stomach I am aiming for. Four children ago, I think I had it down pat! You are always so feminine, though, never over the top. You are just gorgeous.

Ditto Rosalind...you've taken me right back to the seventies, and in a good way, which is complicated, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHello darlin'!!! You're watering my favourite flower, roses. I love them so very much, the way their petals unfold and bloom, their scent moving from delicate and sweet to heady and full ... a bit like ageing actually come to think of it. Puss is so enjoying having mama to itself: "can I show my fave secret sleeping spot and the place I saw the mouse please mama?" Look at your smile and your abs!! Love everything about this post and oh my, Lana would be my song inspiration here too!! xoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! You look so sexy in this casual outfit.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beauty, those jeans are absolutely amazing on you! Your figure is also gorgeous, by the way :)
ReplyDeleteyou look so lovely! what a wonderful figure you have! it´s so nice to see you casual and beautiful surrounded by your sweet kitty and the roses;)
ReplyDeletelove and kiss,mary
I am loving the 1970s chick look! I well remember those cropped cheesecloth shirts with a tie front, I bought one from the market when I was a young teen and thought I was the bee's knees wearing it with jeans and wedge sandals, just like you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics as always. Such beautiful roses, and lovely Nico is the perfect accessory! xxxx
This post demands two soundtracks. You need Dolly Parton aswell ...
ReplyDeleteI like the vintage tie front shirt, it looks really cute paired with the jeans :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty look, with your casual shirt tied up. The roses are exquisite, and thanks for sharing the beauty with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteRoses are my favorite flower, and you have the perfect outfit for watering the beauties in your garden. Your portray the 70's beautifully, but in a way that's relevant to 2013. And your poem is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGlorious images, Emalina. You look like you're from a 70's teen 'summer love' fashion shoot. Gorgeous bluebells (and you) in the post below as well.
ReplyDeleteLoved your poem and images in 'The Mermaid's Tail' as I was reading I was thinking "wow, I can't wait to find out who wrote this so I can look up more of their work" what an amazing poet you are!
...and now I'm kicking myself for selling my cheesecloth tie-front blouse a couple of weeks ago (although she was an adorable 12 year-old with blonde bunches!)
ReplyDeleteLove this on you, a lovely natural look, busy amidst your lovely garden! xxxx
Somewhere in a photo of long ago, I seem to remember an outfit similar to this. It would have been the late '70's, on a gorgeous summer day. You took me back in such a lovely way!!! You look charming and adorably alluring as you tend the beautiful flowers. XXXOOO
ReplyDeleteImpossible not to smile at every frame ... can almost smell the rose. Lovely you. Your kitty?
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! roses my favorite! When i get married, yes it is true, next year, I want a bouquet of pink roses - I see you got your shirt at Oxfam on line, wow! Wonder if they ship to Canada?
ReplyDeleteFabulous pics Emalina!
Every time i see you pics it's like entering a fantasy land, very unique!

My goodness how lovely! You are rocking the classic, beautiful farm girl look here so spectacularly - and what a stunning setting to do it in. Roses are my favourite flowers of all time, and the first I'd plant (in abundance!) if I had a garden of my own.
ReplyDelete♥ Jessica
this is quite a new look on you but i love it. you look great in jeans and a plaid shirt.
ReplyDeleteooo you look so gorgeous! i must say i do not look like this when i water my roses...how i wish i did! I think your roses must bloom hundredfold more just for you being there! x
