is all around us,
and inside us,
unique and perfectly imperfect.
Sometimes, when we are worried or troubled,
we fail to recognize,
beauty.
But is always here,
just waiting for us to notice,
and bring us comfort.
Cheers to you from all that is beautiful in you and around you~

Why are some things beautiful?
<3 When people suffer, they are more likely to respond to the power of beauty, in and around them.
If a person isn't suffering now, they may avoid this message. But, eventually, they will have to catch up.
Exquisite flower images, especially the pink Rhododendron. You’ve captured its delicate petals perfectly.
Rhododendron’s don’t grow at The Holler, so when I see them, I am thrilled. Thank you for noticing Vicki~
Completely wonderful!
Happy you enjoyed!
Right ♥

Love, love, love! You’re singing my song, Cindy! 😉

You rock my friend~
Cindy, you are so kind. When do you head this way again? xx
We have had to cancel an epic trip to Iceland, Greenland and Norway, far into the northern arctic circle, really our culminating trip of a lifetime, due to a medical situation with a family member. We have rescheduled for next year, but as of now, everything is on hold. Thanks for asking Lea & love to you~
Cindy, I am so sorry. My thoughts and hugs are on their way to you. Please know that my love will be with you on this journey and I look forward to sharing some very special wine with you when you return to France. <3
That would be lovely! <3

Thank you for such a wonderful pause for reflection Cindy. Your photos are breathtaking! 💛
You are a lovely person Val. Thank you & cheers too~ 💐
Too often I don’t stop to look, and even then I sometimes don’t see. Not today, however… After these visions, not for some time (I hope). Grateful here!
This comment makes me very happy I did this post. I used to be this way, but photography changed everything for me. Now I not only look, but I see, and am in the actual moment. It has made such a substantial difference in my life.
Speaking of opened flowers, close up lens and enabled us to appreciate flowers in a whole new way, as you have so aptly demonstrated, Cindy. Thanks for bringing the beauty into my world this morning. –Curt
You are a beautiful person Curt and I am so grateful blogging allowed us to meet.
Likewise, Cindy.
<3
Wunderschön…
Vielen dank mein lieber Freund Ernst! 💐
