Sea of Yellow

I received a bunch of Daffodils last week.

One after the other opened

and gave me a complete sea of yellow in my front room.

It gave a beautiful Spring feeling.

Kew Gardens Virtual Smile

Kew Gardens

my favourite garden has been closed due to the circumstances.

I miss going there so much.

They have now re -opened with limited visitors going in

and you have to book a time slot.

Unfortunately I have to take the train to get there and

I am not quite prepared to do that just yet.

So I went through my pictures from previous visits

and enjoyed a stroll through.

Here is what I found:

Kew – Indonesian Orchid Festival …

by night.

As last year Kew Gardens had Orchid Festival.

This time all Orchids come from Indonesia.

New this year was for me :

I got a slot for Orchids by night.

A different experience which was fantastic.

Not only I see all Orchids

submersed in different lights

also there were Indonesian dancers, music,

food tasters (we had a great Indonesian soup and Ginger Tea)

and a wonderful atmosphere.

Enjoy some of the pictures I took.

Today is …. #40

….. a day to do enjoy Autumn ….

Today walk with open eyes and enjoy Autumn.

Smell the Autumnal air.

Find a wonderfully coloured leaf.

Pick it up and take it home to admire Nature’s colourful canvas.

You can even press it to keep for longer.

… or just play in the leaves and have fun!

Shades of Green

Green is the colour of nature.

The colour of Mother Nature

The colour of Life and energy.

It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility.

Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety.

Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

 

…. just look at these different greens….

so many shades

 

 

and many different shapes and textures.

 

 

Green is relaxing for me, it feels warm, yet fresh.

However I do not have many outfits in green.

Do you love green?

What is your favourite colour?

My old Primary School from the back….

 

A lovely Ginkgo tree with blue sky,

just so beautiful!

Weekly Inspiration No 22- Every day is special

Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion.

Being ALIVE is a special occasion.

I remember these beautiful cups from my childhood.

They came out when we had a celebration like a birthday.

 

 

This one was always my favourite (next to the red one)

 

 My mum said I can take it home.

Now I can celebrate every day,

as every day is special,

with drinking my tea out of this very special cup.

*****

 

 

Celebrate each day!

Be alive!

Much love

from me!
