The Silent Bells

My second post is a pictorial blog -- I've collected pictures of bell-shaped flowers (thanks to the anonymous photographers)... something about me and bells.


I hope you hear the tintinnabulation.

  2. Jo. By cheating. I couldn't arrange the pictures as I wanted them here (options are only left, right, middle)so I did it on Photoshop.
