It’s scorching hot! But not too hot to enjoy the gorgeousness of mother nature. I know I have been on a flower kick lately but in the summer time I think we have to be allowed a little indulgence.
It’s when I am alone on a walk or appreciating the beauty around me that I realize had I not taken the time to be still and listen and look –I would not have been open enough to find something new or revisit something I long ago appreciated that may be coming back into my life.
A second chance if that is what we want to call it.
Ahh the beauty of blogging — a place to share something that we might have appreciated before but now can again and with others.
Now the “only ifs” set in… Only if I could paint something this brilliant and inspiring. (maybe that will be NEXT summer)
Hope you are enjoying your little spot in the world with the BEAUTY that is around you.

Since January 1st 2010 -- I have been celebrating finding Beauty in our every day lives. Stay in the Day... be in the moment. Don't wait to live your life.
Stop and make a habit to find the Beauty and you will be amazed at how Beautiful your life is. Be thankful and remember:

How early do you get up Missy? If we were ever to meet, you would have to get up, take your camera, grab your coffee, and come back around noon LOL, because I would still be in bed LOL
I never get tired of your pictures Claudia, for some reason or other I just don’t.
I will call you soon, I’ll surprise you one evening. I’m waiting for things to settle down here. The new pool is getting installed tomorrow morning. We will hopefully be swimming on Sat. YAHOOOOOOO

Hi Claudia,
Thanks for hosting this fun party! It’s my first time joining you, and I too, am sharing flowers! This time of year it’s hard to ignore the abundance of nature’s gifts all around.
Your photos are really lovely, I especially enjoyed the last one. You captured the brilliance and the freshness of the blossoms, very nicely done!
I hope you’ll drop by for a vist soon.

Beautiful Claudia! I could never get tired of seeing flowers. Your flowers and photos are just gorgeous!
I love colors. Spring and summer are my favorites times becasue they are so colorful.
G’morn Claudia ~
Oh, these florals are so lush & elegant! Ours have suffered horribly under this ‘flip me over, I am done on that side’ heat! My gardens are really sad … so these bring a bit of warmth & joy.
Happy PS,
Have a lovely summer day ~

There is a Chinese Proverb that reads: A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.
Thank you for the beautiful flowers and thoughts.
