Everyday it grows a little more than it was the day before

It gets a little wider

It gets a little stronger

It grows, and it grows

The love for you just grows and grows

...bulbs in half-barrels.

We have sunshine this morning, and even though I would rather see and be in rain, I am in the minority. Tree frogs might agree, however.

I am so thankful for all the old and new friends here on flick.Your creativity,kindness,playfulness and deeper thoughts.

I wish you all a year filled with love,joy,light,peace in your heart,health and creativity!

Sending a big hug for those who want it!

My husband and I enjoyed a small trip to the mountains with our ATV. So many wild flowers still out and showing off their colors!

Sounds like a reality show, for real! But these babies DO think they are royal, and so far, we have treated them so! Of course they think it's only fair! Their mother is a queen! (as a female cat is often called!)

Taken for Happy Caturday! : noble, royal

Let's grow! Flower power rules!

(Flickr Friday: #312 Give peace a chance)

According to the current theme, group members were supposed to take a photo which represents peace. I chose a poppy. This flower was adopted as the symbol of remembrance shortly after the end of the First World War. This is why it served as a pledge (at least initially) that war must never happen again.

De acuerdo con el tema propuesto, los miembros del grupo teníamos que tomar una foto que representase la paz. Escogí una amapola. Cuando fue adoptada como símbolo del recuerdo, la Primera Guerra Mundial había terminado hacía poco tiempo. De modo que significaba el deseo de que no volviera a estallar otra guerra.

UPDATE: The flow is a Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum)

Growing at Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens. NSW.

Matthew Arnold, ‘Growing Old’.

What is it to grow old?

Is it to lose the glory of the form,

The lustre of the eye?

Is it for beauty to forgo her wreath?

—Yes, but not this alone.

Is it to feel our strength—

Not our bloom only, but our strength—decay?

Is it to feel each limb

Grow stiffer, every function less exact,

Each nerve more loosely strung?

Yes, this, and more; but not

Ah, ’tis not what in youth we dreamed ’twould be!

’Tis not to have our life

Mellowed and softened as with sunset glow,

A golden day’s decline …

Juvenile Blue Jay in the backyard

Slow going through the sounds of Milford. Amazing how plants take hold, even on a steep incline.

I will be on/off in August.

Wishing all my flickr friends a wonderful Summer!

This is the result of eating non stop for about 18 hours a day. It was almost bigger looking than the parent. The tired parent bird briefly got a little rest as it left this little guy for a half a minute.

Taken through the trusty lounge room window from a distance of about four feet.

Happy Feathery Friday!
