Backyard Beauty |
There are times when I want to drop everything and escape to some far off tropical paradise surrounded by lush landscapes. Unfortunately this isn't always a feasible option. But some days I am lucky. Some days I can step right outside my door and let my eyes feast on the beauty closer to home. If I look hard enough I can always find it. It's been there the all along, I just never took the time to appreciate it. I wonder, if I lived in paradise would I miss out on that too?

That shroom is awesome!! I agree, I try to spend time outside everyday, just enjoying nature. It's good for the soul.
ReplyDeletethat is a great fungus!
ReplyDeleteand i've never seen flowers like that (or just never really looked)
have a nice weekend in your glorious backyard paradise =)
I think most of us live in a kind of paradise, comfortable, lots of food, but you're so right when you say that we don't see it. We ought to open our eyes more widely.
ReplyDeletePK- Aren't mushrooms cool?! I always feel revived after spending time outside, it also makes me feel like writing.
ReplyDeleteTara- Those are called Bleeding Hearts. I guess they are native to Eastern Asia. They have beautiful little heart shaped flowers for about a week or two.
Rosalind- I think sometimes we don't make time to see what is around us. We are so busy trying to get through the day.
