Abstract Thursday

Ingeborg's theme for Abstract Thursday is 'hope'
S-I-L and I went for a walk this morning to a lake where we could pick some elderflowers. We made up a batch of elderflower cordial which i HOPE will be as delicious as last year's.
I was overwhelmed by the response to the MM challenge this week. Thanks to everyone who joined in - I hope I got to everyone's blip. Let me know if i have missed any. We all know a little bit about one another, now.
It was so hard to decide what criteria to use to select my favourites. In the end I went for the blipnames or the explanation that most appealed to me. In no particular order:
