“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in–what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”
-Victor Hugo
“The earth laughs in flowers.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Just living is not enough…One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.”
-Hans Christian Andersen
Today my kids and I visited with my dad and at this time of the year his yard is always filled with some really beautiful flowers. Of course I couldn’t resist taking pictures of them so I could share them with you. For me, they give me a sense of well being and overall peace. I was actually thinking of framing a couple of them.
The first one is my favorite. I have always loved the darker orange like colors.
I love the contrast between the two colors.
The contrast here is also striking.
A little psychedelic splash!
The these last two photos remind of some of the animation sequences in Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.”
Can you see the orange glow of the fire inside? Mesmerizing…
