One of my Facebook memories this morning was a photo I posted eight years ago, of the beauty in tulips even as they were dying.
And I mean, come on, just look at that detail!
Nature is amazing. And it reminds me that, even when I'm not feeling perfect, I still am. And so are you, in case you also needed the reminder.
Nature IS amazing; and I'm experiencing the same bit of beauty as the last of my peonies are dying...they are still exquisite.
ReplyDeleteAren't they, though? I just love it.
DeleteThose are excellent shots! I'd never thought of it this way. My tulips are in the same shape right now.
ReplyDeleteThe colors, the details, just stunning.
DeleteBeautiful reminder, C!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I felt like I couldn't be the only one who needed to hear that.
DeleteThe colors! And form of them, too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCultivating an awareness in beauty in all things is a skill. Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteIt is a skill and gets better with practice! I often have to remind myself, when I'm frustrated by a small thing, "If that's the worst that happens today, you're having a good day."
DeleteThere are snapdragons about this colour that are my favourite. I am not feeling my best right now, and it is a good reminder. Also to start gardening so I can plant something in my back yard that isn't a weed.
ReplyDeleteOr if it has to be a weed, it should be a pretty one!
DeleteLove this. And yes, always need that reminder.
