Image of the Week Jan. 8th - Jan. 14th, 2018

Regardless of the weather where you are, this week's images are a reminder of warmer days.

Often a recipe will call for a touch of "--------".        This image by deany is a playful illustration of that often used term.

The yellow flowers in the foreground add a touch of warmth to this image submitted by kathylee .  However, the texture she added hints that the day may not have been so warm and sunny.

 fotofrank submitted a picture of Janel a few weeks back that had us wondering what she was looking at as she peered through the fence.   This week we see Jillian, a lovely portrait in black and white.

My choice for IOW is a remake of an image that first captured my attention in 2015 by drjoerogers .   A real "smiler" that I'm sure brings back many warm memories for the photographer and his family.

Thank you for looking at and deciding to add my picture to this group of excellent pictures. You are right, this was in Ireland and it was a gloomy cool day with a dull gray sky, but there were always flowers of every color everywhere!!!
