Dear Sparrow, how beautiful and restful!
 
I'll be joining you!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

These were posted by Liliwings in our "Cafe".  They are so beautiful. They were just calling to be shared so that ALL who visit this thread could see their beauty.

Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.

For all who love art and sculptures, these are solid metal sculptures on Northerly Island in Chicago.  To me, the detail is
amazing considering they are one piece of metal

Thank you Betty,
for reposting liliwings' flowers
here . . .
yours are pretty spectacular too!
I just love the sweet clover in the grasses . . .
and the statue is fabulous.
It looks too 'light'
to be metal.
Thank you for starting my day with such beauty
and wonder
with love . . .

Dear Buba . . .
How serendipitous!
I was just telling my mother yesterday,
of your weekends
in your father's gardens,
and today I see these beautiful pictures!
They are so beautiful . . .
Jude is right--
"you are obviously a family of gardeners".
Thank you for taking the time
to share the beauty around you

 Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
To look on this site, just now, was the best part of this day - to enjoy on this beautiful photos!
 
Have a good night and sleep well,

If you want to know something about someone, listen to your heart.

I'm not sure if this counts as beautybut I just found this picture of my local Morris Dance group on the day I saw them all. I am sitting out of sight just below the war memorial under the large building.
 
Betty, if I was younger I might join them, but they are pretty lively, and those sticks!!!!
 

Love is the only way

Thank you Betty for posting the pictures you post
the sculpture is awesome.  How beatufitful !!!
 
Sparrow, is that really your garden??  The one with the bird bath?  I was thinking you just posted it in hello.  But now I am wondering if this really is your garden?  Could it possibly be?  It looks so beautiful !!
 
Buba I love the photos you took.  The roses are so beautiful.  ahhhhhhhh
and the grapes and tomatos !!!  indeed, as Jude says, and Sparrow agrees with, you are a family of garenders. I think you all must have a very deep appreciation of nature.
 
and as always cheeky nanny's photos are sublime. 
 
Thank you Betty for posting the photos.  Your dedication is an inspiration to my heart.  so much so that i will post my own photos.
this is a rose that a dinner guest brought

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

Jude, our posts crossed. I did not see it when I was responding to the other photos.  Indeed that is a photo of beauty.   I know how much you love dance.  Well I do also. 

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

Liliwings, your pictures are gorgeous. What a rose!! and the globe-what-ever-it-is is beautiful.

I have no clue what the "globe" is. I thought it was some kind of a thistle. Maybe it is a kind of allium.  Not sure. 
I am posting more photos here to try out a new way of posting them.  So this is testing 1-2-3
this photo is not clear. but I like the plant. I took it at dusk. not the best light for photography

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

The pink one looks like Echinacea....could be. Another Allium? I love those.

Love is the only way
