ONE
at it, it's your world for the moment."
GEORGIA O'KEEFFE
With the wintry week we've just come through, I thought to myself, it may be snowing on the outside, but I'm having spring on the inside. In normal circumstances, Rick and I would head to the city's beautiful conservatory to take in some green, but since self-isolating is in effect—not to mention, the conservatory is closed for renovations—I searched out photos from a visit we made a few years ago.
I spent a little time with these blossoms and, as Georgia suggested, I really looked at them for a moment. Such an array of colour and shape and texture. It's a party of petals on parade!

Lovely orchids. It is so calming to take a few moments just to look at, and talk to, a particular flower. Yes, I do chat to mine!

ReplyDeleteThis post reminded me of that quote. Such lovely photos. I am glad that the Conservatory is taking this opportunity for its updates. I wish some of the road repair would happen in the same way. 🙂
What a beautiful way to begin my Friday. Thanks, Brenda.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! Ah, I'm so thankful to God for creating such amazing variety in nature!
ReplyDeleteAs our spring seems to be much delayed by continuing snow and cold, your lovely flower-y photos are a very welcome sight!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely flowers and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou have a Green Thumb! Your orchids are spectacular. Just a little green with envy because I can't grow them.
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful. I'm so thankful God gave us flowers!!
ReplyDeleteTaking time to really look is important, and when I do I am always amazed at the intricate details God created. Lovely photos and quotes.
