A little knowledge that acts
is worth infinitely more
than much knowledge that is idle.

Kew Gardens 3rd Smile
Another visit to my favourite garden.
Every time I explore different areas.
As it is so big, I never run out of finding beauties of nature.
This time I found
the making of a pinecone
A really funny shaped very small bloom:
(I don’t know all the botanical names, as my eyes are bigger than my memory)
One of my favourite grasses
Another pretty little thing – a hanging flower
One of Kew’s famous lizards
a tall proud multi coloured beauty
and another hanging blue miracle
‘Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. ‘ Genesis 1,11

God’s painting
My strawberry plant has been painted with autumnal colours
A joy in my garden
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Today’s Inspiration – Khalil Gibran
I am lately taking pictures out of my window of the beautiful sky
because of the lovely colours or clouds.
They go so well with some chosen quotes for a little inspiration.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
Go out and experience it, it makes you feel good!
Have a wonderful day!

Simply Red
The way you start your day
can affect your whole day…
Begin it with a smile
calmness of mind
coolness of emotions
and a heart filled with gratitude.
Take time to smell the flowers
Take time to hug a tree
Take time to hear each bird sing
Take time to simply be.
We might miss some of the beauty on life
if we don’t slow down
and pay attention to the little things around us.
Start your day with the beauty of red today!
Different shapes,
different shades,
all unique,
all beautiful!
Just like you!

Memories
Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories.
Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart.
As it is holiday time, sunny weather, time to spend with the family or friends we will make memories.
We all take our cameras with us, take pictures and look at them later, remembering a wonderful time.
We should not just go somewhere take pictures and leave.
No, we should take the view in consciously, enjoy the very moment, then take a picture.
Like that when we look at the picture later, we have more emotions and really remember how it was then.
Therefore, to have great memories we need to walk around with our eyes open and brain working……to keep those amazing images alive in our memory.
Be conscious about what you see, what you feel and what you smell and firstly it makes you feel really alive and you have a whole lot more fantastic memories.
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”
Enjoy the world and the moments consciously and you can enjoy life much more!
We make memories every day in our lives, not only on holidays.
So make sure you make and give wonderful memories , not only for yourself but also for others, your children, your parents, your friends.
