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?

Generosity is giving more than you can,

And pride is taking less than you need.

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!

 

 

Wisteria and other beauties along the road

It is colourful flower time

the Earth is laughing!

Beautiful Wisteria hanging out of a garden

Tiny flowers along the shopping mall

Even tinier flower, shot with a Macro lens on my phone.

Petunias in a flower basket

Little flowers , again captured with a Macro lens.

 

and all together

 

Strawberry Galore

My strawberries this year grew absolutely beautiful.

They bloomed a lot:

 

We seem to have had enough rain

and then the sun came.

I had more strawberries than ever.

Just look

 

A collage out of my many harvests.

 

and then came out the

Strawberry bowl to eat them out of.

 

 

Oh how yummy they were.

There are still now some late comers, I eat straight of the plant.

What a joy, what great gift!

Woodland Walk Inspiration

Recently I went for a Woodland Walk in my area.

A tranquil place where the council encourages wild flowers to grow.

 

 

I saw many beautiful flowers in all different colours.

 

How this earth really laughs in flowers.

just as Ralph Waldo Emerson says.
