Beautiful Sunday in the Garden of Life
In a perfect dance with the rhythm of life, we grow and feel encouraged by those around us.
Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world. I dedicate this picture to #SundayPurple by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day!
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Oh yeah.
Louis Armstrong
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank @ace108 and @c0ff33a for hosting these challenges and just so you know, although much sun and shine was used up today, I can guarantee that there is still a little left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Nice one here
@adenijiadeshina As a friendly note: It is rude behavior to upvote yourself and not give one cent to those that support you. It is not about the money, but, merely about manners and courtesy. This is not about my post either. You happen to do this on everybody's post.
And see? I try hard to support everyone who comes here, even if it is a small contribution.
Thank you for the comment Have a great day.

Oh I love that red bloomed tree thingie in the front! Is it a tree or a plant, if you know? I want one lol! Great words and awesome photos! I surely never know someone so full of happy and sunshine. It is amazing to me Every Single Day! You are quite the inspiration, I can tell you that most assuredly! So in touch with the magic of life! Oh and to get such fresh outstanding photos OMG! I can barely manage cobble cobble together some hack and trash! In a word: Outstanding!
My dear sir, red bloomed tree thingy in the front is called a crepe myrtle. That particular color is called dynomite. I tell you that because there are several shades of red / pink.
Well it's hardly worth putting it out there on the blockchain if it's all doom and gloom, knowing that it's going to stay there for the rest of your life and then after that. But I guess that's not true because a lot of people write about angst and things of that nature and are perfectly comfortable in doing so.
That kind of made me laugh when you said you need to Cobble together some hack in trash. Oh my God unbelievable. Your posts are fine and we all love them. I'll have to put a plug in for you because I just saw that your post is only voted it 50 cents, which means that a greeter at Walmart is paid 700% more than you are. Would you like to Kleenex to weep upon? Just kidding! Your posts are witty and funny and I love reading them. Now get out there and get some votes!

Well, I learned something today. I've heard of crepe myrtle for years, of course, but I always imagined them in shades of lilac / lavender / purple.
Don't mind me. I once asked our waitress in a restaurant in Cape Cod if she knew what those huge gorgeous bushes laden with flowers in pink, purple, white (and I think I may have even seen blue ones) ... were called that grew in everyone's yard all over town.
"The rhododendrons?" she asked quizzically ... looking at me like I'd just landed from outer space.
Ok ... I'd heard of rhododendrons, too ... all my life, but I never recalled seeing one or making the connection with the name if I did. I envisioned those as low-growing and discreet ... like an azalea -- you know. The kind people give in pots so you can plant them in your yard.
We don't have a lot of any of those where I live.
I'm starting to feel kind of like a ignoramus when it comes to flowers. Maybe your posts will cure that ... eventually.

Each time I come to visit you leave me more and more speechless...I don’t even know where to began. Your photography is a true work of art, a painting in a photo! It is so peaceful and overwhelmingly breathtaking. Do you sell your photos online? You sure would do well if you did! Your words always align with the beauty in your photos, making us think of warm thoughts and the joys of life. I am resteeming this post so others can have their worlds painted with these beautiful colors. There is so much to embrace in this one post! You are such an inspiration ~ 🌺
And oh my what a BEAUTIFUL home you have!!!!
Thank you so much! I am so humbled by your words. Truly. The photography is something that I enjoy today as much as tending to the garden. It's just an extension of my love for the beauty of nature.
I have you thought about selling, but I'm not really good at honking my own work because there is so much out there available. So, I just post my work here. Thank you so much for taking this home with you and sharing it with your readers. I want to thank you for coming by to hello, leaving your beautiful words behind.
And my house? Thank you. I know it sounds silly but I absolutely love my neighborhood and the feeling of safe and secure that it gives me over with such beautiful people. I hope you have a most wonderful day as you start off into a new week.

So many great phrases in this post that if you only took one phrase in you would change the whole feeling of your day and every morning i make myself that coffee walk onto my balcony and do exactly as John O’Donohue said to do , stop and listen to the breeze, then breathe in some happiness and sunshine for your day and of i go to make the world a happier place and make myself happy in return :)
Hey!!!! That words stop and listen to the breeze, then breathe in some happiness and sunshine for your day happens to be dswigle's words. The next set of words are his as I quoted them. :)
Just so you know. LOL @hangin

Such a beautiful post, @dswigle ! It pours so much colours and beauty into my eyes * ___ * !!! I feel rejuvenated :D :D :D
And I love that song by Louis Armstrong and the poem you included at the end is very pretty, also :)
What a wonderful post, @dswigle ! You are truly a gift <3 !!!
Thank you and what a sweet and thoughtful comment! I love that song with Louis. He lives it. You can see it in his eyes!!!
I have been so remiss getting around. By the time I answer my comments, I am way out of time. In one way, that is an awesome problem to have and on another hand, I worry that I am not getting out to enough people. I hope all is well in your world! xxo
