WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: 408 - Flowering

Maple Tree flowers just starting to form the "helicopters" eastern WA state. Not much else flowering here yet.

So many beautiful shots - the infinite variety of flowers never fails to amaze me.

That's lovely, svizzerams.

Hopefully they will find out what's wrong with your connection and fix it! Over here if something is wrong with your connection, the companies usually assume it's your fault (wrong cables, loose cables, splitters, you name it) and it will take ages for them to come and investigate and -if you're lucky- fix it.

I had a wireless modem a few years ago that gave me little shocks every time I picked up the phone. The company said it couldn't, but it did. One night I picked up the phone, there was a loud thump, a crackling sound and the phone was kaput. I disconnected the modem and have never gone wireless again for my internet and phone.

True here also! My landline phone was out for 6 weeks while various "repairmen" came and "fixed" it..Finally one repairman spent the time and effort and found my line damage more that 4 houses from mine.. He had been sent 125 miles to do the repair!

It would be difficult and expensive to hard wire my whole house.. We have 4 desktop computers, 2 laptops and 2 iPads... I need wireless


svizzerams .. lovely shot! Will it ever stop raining there?
I usually stay in WA state for a month in August.. I didn't get to go this last summer,
but I'm looking forward to this summer!

What a lovely flower, svizzerarms! Beautifully photographed also.

Joayne, I hear you about the number of connections and how impractical it is to have everything wired, but after my experience I have a wireless trauma!!

Anyway, I hope your problems get fixed now.

Beautiful and so Bright!
Well Done Mr Vette!

My wife and I went out to get some frames & she went ga-ga over the sunflowers at the store next door.. and *DING* this thread popped in my head.

Joayne - I live on the "dry side" of the Cascades in WA - but the west side has had more than their usual share this past few weeks. On our side we are a bit too dry - no significant snow showed up even in the mountains until late Feb this year - and not much of that ended up on our terrain farther east. Could be a bad fire season over here this summer - we are keeping our fingers crossed. I was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago and it was full of flowering trees and daffodils. Ours are just starting to poke up out of the ground on the "east" side.

Thanks for the kind comments

Wonderful images this week everyone..Beautiful shots all!!

I'll echo that. All very nicely done. Though "Flouring" was stretching it a little. Loved it.

^^We all need a bit of humor in our day

Love the sunflowers, Vette!

Definitely some very striking submissions this week!

"Flouring" was a silly joke, all right, but I can explain. I had a cold all week, and this was something I could do without leaving home.
