The World of Flowers~
Our world of pain (passion flowers, Florida),
is also our world of beauty.
Consider the flowers (salt water marsh flowers, Patagonia).
Gifts to remind us everyday (freesias, The Azores),
in every corner of the planet (tulips, Ireland),
that although there is pain (tulips, Netherlands),
there is also beauty (water lily, Huahine).
Cheers to you from all the flowers on our beautiful planet (ranunculus California)~

I think you may mean third. I didn’t see this bird originally and was thrilled when someone with very perceptive eyes (just like you) saw him. He is a plover and is a surreptitous spy. I love it when bloggers find things I didn’t see in my photos. A blogger found a baby nyland hiding amongst the adults, by counting the legs! Incredible! I totally missed it. Thank you for seeing so precisely!

So sorry you had to see it twice. I hate posting it twice but it didn’t post for me and other people have mentioned not getting it. It probably isn’t consistently missing which just makes it more problematic.
Ah well, a minor thing when one can look at Mother Nature’s handiwork. Cheers to you and thank you~

Cindy, you just managed to fool my brain into thinking that Spring is coming up! Haha! Mmmm, I love freesias so much that whenever I see a picture of them, I instantly recall the scent of them. All those flowers are such a sight though. Nice to see them growing strong and vibrant in their homelands! 🙂 ~Lynn
