life is waiting for us

Orchids are always so beautiful no matter which angle you look at them. Somehow, I feel that they and the quote from Joseph Campbell, belong together.

The photo I used here a pink Dendrobium in full bloom. It reminds me of a life lived fully.

remedy for love

Henry David Thoreau hit a bulls-eye when he said these words. There is really no remedy for love, if you want a remedy that is, "but to love more."

The photo is a pink mum drenched with raindrops.

Happy Valentine's Day

Just a simple greeting to all of you on this Happy Hearts Day

The photo is a pink rose layered in Photoshop to give it a dreamy effect.

patience and good character

In our present world of fast-paced activities, this quote from Heraclitus is a very good reminder for us. There are just certain things that cannot be accomplished instantly and as he noted, "good character" is one of those that need time to develop.

The photo shows flowers of Begonia semperflorens.

Friend

This quote from Elbert Hubbard is so simple yet so profound. A friend really knows our strengths and weaknesses yet loves us just the same.

The photo shows the pink flowers of of a variety of Euphorbia milllii.

Love waits

 Does love really wait? This is what William Carlos Williams said in this quote. I suppose love does wait but maybe if we know how to appreciate something as simple as "the edge of a petal."

The photo is a macro shot of a dark pink rose.

magic and beauty

The "magic and beauty are really in ourselves." This quote from Kahlil Gibran simply reiterates what we should know about ourselves and our emotions. It's really true that our emotions can affect how we perceive things. So everything really depends on us and not on the world around us.

The photo is a hollyhock flower. I processed this in Photoshop to give it a slightly dreamy and soft effect.

The Beauty of Dreams

This quote from Eleanor Roosevelt  resonates well with my own belief about dreams. I believe that we should never stop believing in our dreams. This belief is what propels us to get up in the morning and start our day. Don't you agree?

I think this photo of the carnation with its dreamy background goes well with this quote. What do you think?
