Every Wednesday participants will be posting pictures of anything outdoor on their blog. It can be something outside of your home such as your porch, deck, patio, garden or lawn. Your photo can be outdoor shots of the beach, forest or mountains. (We don’t want to exclude anyone who might not have a yard). Or, you could simply post pictures of a favorite plant or flower. Only rule is it has to be outside!
To participate:
1. POST- Post your outdoor photos and the Outdoor Wednesday logo/button on your blog and link back to http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ so that others will be able to find all the links to other Outdoor Wednesday posts.
2. (Optional) PLACE LOGO - Place the Outdoor Wednesday logo/button on the sidebar of your blog. It lets others know you will be participating in future Outdoor Wednesdays.
Reminder: Do NOT link in until after your post is up.
3. LINK NAME & PERMALINK- Go to A Southern Daydreamer and enter your name and the Permalink to your post (NOT your general blog address) in “Mr.. Linky”.
- Why use a permalink instead of your general blog address? A permalink points to a specific blog post after it has passed from the front page to the archives. It will make it easier for readers to find your Outdoor Wednesday posts whenever they get a chance to visit.
- To create a Permalink: Either 1) right click on Outdoor Wednesday post and “Copy Shortcut/Link Location” or 2) click on your Outdoor Wednesday post title and copy the URL from the http window.
- Copy your permalink into “Mr.. Linky” URL box next to your name and select ENTER. You are finished. You should see your name listed on my site.

The weather was beautiful this past weekend so I took some photos at the “new” mall. The flowers at the entry…..
and the trees are starting to get blooms…….
but my favorite are the bronze statues throughout the area…. like these two in the courtyard…..
and this one by Barnes & Noble……
a better picture of the previous one…..
Don’t you wish this one was you?
and isn’t this one cute?
and finally, flowers by the exit!

Susan, those are wonderful statues, and I love the flowers, too! I like statues of children, particularly in park-like areas. They look right at home playing there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wednesday, and thanks for hosting!

Susan,
ReplyDeletethanks for hosting this fun weekly event. I can't believe you already have flowers and trees getting ready to bloom. For us the snow is finally melting but flowers are still a couple of month away. I like those bronze statues - very unique.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,

Susan, what great pictures. I especially love the bronze statues.. we had quite a day out today, and thought many times I wished I had taken my camera. It was letter perfect for a February day.. middle 70's. That's a heat wave for us here. lol. Thanks for hosting another great Outdoor Wednesday.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteHow did that get in there. This is Outdoor Wednesday not Tasty Tuesday. Oops. Can you take that out?
ReplyDeleteThe statue's are awesome! I think it's cool that they're playing :)
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are so pretty, and the statues are really cute.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are just gorgeous, and I love all the bronze statues. They use to have some downtown here, but I think they travel around and after a few months they were gone. I thought they were so cute. Thanks for showing us the ones at your mall. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteActually, I wish I were stll able to do cartwheels! ;o)

Susan, I love the bronze statues ... the details are amazing and they're so lifelike. My favorite is the little boy and girl on the tricycle.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to host "Outdoor Wednesday" for us.
I can't believe you already have flowers. Those statues are so neat. Love them. We have some modern sculptures downtown. Maybe I can do a post on those one Wed.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the pictures you made outside your local mall. Those statues are amazing. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi,it is as if you live in another world.The flowers are so nice,it will be months and months before I see a flower growing outside.We just got more snow,I've never seen so much snow here before.I have not participated in any of these events yet but your instructions seem pretty clear,I may just give this a try.Cyndi
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, especially the periwinkle blue. Such a nice breath of spring. But I really love the statues, particularly the boy on stilts - how cute is that! Thanks for hosting this Susan. Kathy
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. When I go to malls that have these bronze works of art, they always make me smile. I want one in my yard! But... they are WAY too expensive. laurie
ReplyDeleteThe flowers at the exit just took my breath away. Love those colors together!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures you took to share. The flowers and buds are so welcoming aren't they? I love those bronze figures too. I've never seen anything quite like that. They are soooo cute! They go perfectly with the surroundings of a mall don't they.
Really great pictures.
Have a lovely evening Susan.
Judi
me again..
ReplyDeleteDarn! I wish you had told me about glueing that broken piece back on that "milker" before I threw it out! hmmmmm... I would have liked to have had its mate to look at at least until I hopefully find a replacement. Too bad I didn't think of doing that.
Judi
Love the bronze statues and the flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wednesday.
Charlotte
I love the tricycle one. They are all cute but that one is super cute. I love those blooming branches on that tree. Any idea on what kind of tree it is.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I love all the bronze statues esp the men on stilts. The flowers looked lovely, glad you are having some lovely weather, Happy Outdoor Wednesday, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteSusan I want to just laze around outside the mall let alone go in and shop.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the South to have outside beauty like that.
Love Claudie

Hi Susan, very pretty. Makes me want to go shopping at your mall. I can't wait for some time to plant in my garden. All this inspiration and no time ... boo hoo for me. Thanks for sharing, Maryrose

I live close to a mall with similar hard scape. Your mall is more whimsical than mine, though.

Your mall reminds me very much of the neighborhood I live in! We have wonderful sculptures, too, which I will try to get photos of for another Outdoor Wednesday. The flowers are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the statues! I need one for my garden. I need some pansies too!
ReplyDeleteThe bronze statues are so playful! I had some stilts when I was a child! The pansys are my favorite, blue-ish purple-ish and yellows.

Wonderful photos, Susan. Makes me wish spring was just a little bit closer!
