Anemones, 2012 version

It's a beautiful, warm, blue sky February day after a very rainy January and the wildflowers are in full bloom here in Israel and things are glorious. Oh, and exactly eleven years ago today I became a mother. Wishing the very happiest of birthdays to the remarkable young man who made that happen. Happy birthday Itai, and may this coming year be even better than the last! - Love you, mom. This image makes a great laptop or iPad skin - click here for more information.
Visit Ruby Tuesday 2 for more reds from around the world.

Beautiful image - and congrats to you both too!

Btw Many thanks for your lovely comment about my latest ebook! Readers tell me they find my earlier psychological suspense novel, The De Clerambault Code has lots of twists and turns too!

Can tell you like psychological suspense/crime fiction too! Have a great RT!

Happy Birthday Itai! And happy monday to his wonderful talented mom!

A mother's love knows no bounds - as the years go on, the bond is stronger still. I see it with Patti - we never stop being that loving parent, even as they move into adulthood. Even though the baby part is long gone...the red flowers look like little hearts, how appropriate!

The flowers and the light are beautiful!
Happy Birthday to Itai!

Hope you treat yourself to something special too, Robin, to celebrate.

Gorgeous flowers in the picture, I thought they were poppies.
Enjoy the sunshine, it's freezing cold here!
