Its little feet holding steady

Having a great time

Being a bumblebee-kid again

 

Sitting on the swing

Being dizzy

Nearly falling off

Oooops, falling, falling, falling down to the ground

 

All the pollen that is collected disappears to the ground, all scattered

 

It's more where it comes from

So up on the swing again

 

Why is life so serious

Why not do the crazy and weird stuff you want to do

Maybe you don't even dare to think that you want to do them

 

Maybe someone will judge you

So what

 

Maybe they actually are envious that you dare

 

So take the leap

Grab a swing next time

Or something else

Be a kid again and find the joy

Even though you might not have had a joyful life as a kid

Now you can

You will see that you will find laughter

Because it is fun

 

It might even be contagious

Maybe we all will eventually understand what life is about

 

I believe that life is not to have the biggest house and a cabin, or a flat in an exotic place, successful careers, 2.8 kids and a dog, looking smashing, and a stressful life where you grow apart from the one you thought you should share your life with, and having people around you that steals your energy

 

I believe it is to find ourselves, solve our own stuff, surround ourselves with what and whom we would like to surround ourselves with, find love and give love, being in balance

 

Then we would make the world to be a happier place too

 

It's a lovely pink world isn't it

And I am living in it

 

It's a choice I have made

We all have choices

They can be tough to take

Sometimes impossible to take

All in due time

Things must be settled properly first

Then proceed

 

Off to the swing you go

I'll join you!

A creative and sunny weekend that smells like spring and was filled with letter writing, taking walks and avoiding work comes to an end, and I am so fulfilled.

This is photo I captured of an early purple orchid, which grows wild in the south of England during the spring. There were a few bluebells scattered about on the forest floor as well, which you can see providing some blue in the bokeh background. It is such a spectacular flower to find, as they are somewhat rare.

and the colors lives again..

Red flowers with white stroke.

deserves to be celebrated with a flickr post =)

Thanks to Lorka for the beautiful texture :)

 

That is a word I cherish these days.

Even tho we have lots of snow in the garden it's vanishing on the streets.

Marvelous spring feeling 🍀

Charlie helped supervise my work in the flower garden yesterday as I pulled all the rocks from the border and reset them.

Sometimes being a Superviser is really tough work.

 

And a fella might need to rest a wee bit!

It was a good day for butterflies and hummingbirds, they were everywhere today, buzzing all around us at the Arboretum. We had some light showers yesterday, and expecting more tomorrow, but it looks like it's done a lot of good. We needed some rain.

Again, I never get tired of coming here. Next month I plan on getting us a membership to the Huntington Library & Gardens. I think getting annual memberships to places like this for photographers is always a great investment. It's also a great way to get some exercise, without feeling like it's "exercise".

After a few whirlwind weeks, spring came very quietly and turned April from brown into white into green into sunny days and flowy dresses and walks home in what felt a lot like late summer rain.

On the way out of Pettigrew State Park last week, the sun was starting to rise and I saw this tree at the entrance. I thought the colors were nice, soft pastels.

My little tree's bud is shaking and doing her rock n roll

Ready to unfold them leaves

 

I guess she feels what I'm feeling these days

 

Bursting

Coming alive
