Flowers preach

It might be surprising to learn from CGRosselli that flowers preach. However, if we come to think about it, flowers can indeed tell us many things if just care to listen.
For example, what makes flowers bloom? It's usually the right combination of temperature and moisture that will trigger the flowers to bloom. There will be different rates of growth on different parts of a flower such that we will see the edges of a petal curling and then opening up.


The photo shows flowers of the fire tree or Caesalpinia pulcherrima.

Dance like nobody's watching

I like the exuberance of these lines from William W. Purkey. They are so full of energy and lightness. When I read them, I felt like dancing and singing myself!


The photo is an orange mum that looks like it's a ballerina having the time of her life. I processed it with gradients to give it a dreamy effect.

Live out of your imagination

Stephen Covey said this so well. We usually tend to dwell on the past too much and too long. This is something we can no longer change. But we can always live out whatever we imagine ourselves to be. Isn't that more inspiring?


The photo shows oil droplets interacting with water. If you stir the oil droplets, they will simply create a new design. So I enjoy taking photos of these because you will never know what design will come out.
