2500...where did the time go?

Hello to all, on a rather gloomy morning, when I'm celebrating 2,500 Blips, unable to comprehend just where all that time went...thanks to all the wonderful Blippers though, for all your lovely comments over the years, what with one thing and another, I'm surprised to have survived them and still be posting today:)

So I thought it merited something special and nature provided these gorgeous coloured Dahlias...hope you like 'em:-)

Have to say I'm astonished at so many wonderful replies, many thanks to each and every one of you for taking the time and trouble:)
