Accept Both Compliments and Criticism

Accept both

compliments and criticism.

It takes both

sun and rain for a flower to grow.

-Shreshtha Raj

Be An Optimist

There is no rational reason

to remain a PESSIMIST

in a world full of so

many MIRACLES.

What We Do See Depends Mainly On What We Look For

"What we do see depends mainly on what we look for.

In the same field the farmer will notice the crop,

the geologists the fossils,

botanists the flowers,

artists the colouring,

sportmen the cover for the game.

Though we may all look at the same things,

it does not all follow that we should see them.” 

-John Lubbock

The Tridax

"Many people have never learned to see the beauty of flowers,

especially those that grows unnoticed.

For instance, when you walk outside and look down on your feet,

you may see tiny flowers nestled in the moss

and clover hiding under a curled fern.

Most people stem on them. I paint them."

-Erika Just

The Tridax

"Where flowers bloom so does hope."

- Lady Bird Johnson

The Tridax

These flowers were framed in one of my visits in Tarlac. They look beautiful in clusters despite the fact that they are weeds and need to pull out.

As to the quotation, we used to neglect simple things that comes to ur daily life. Some of these are even  blessings that we forget to appreciate.

And for the second quotation, every flower than blooms might serves as an inspiration for us to keep on having hope.

Happy Tuesday!

The Dragon Fruit (Pitaya)

"When you're doing exactly what you want to do, it's not tiring.

You've been planting these seeds, and finally, you have a full garden in bloom; you're like,

'Oh, I just want to smell the flowers and play among the flowers all day.' 

That's what I'm doing. I'm playing among the flowers."

- Colman Domingo

The Pitaya (Dragon Fruit Flower)

"People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong.

Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?"

- Nhat Hanh

The Pitaya (Dragon Fruit Flower)

"It is so important to allow children to bloom and to be driven by their curiosity."

- May-Britt Moser

The Pitaya (Dragon Fruit Flower)

After two years of waiting and hoping for the my Dragon Fruit to bear fruits, finally, the first flower has bloomed.

I am looking forward to take a bite on its fruit. You can view my documentation on the development of its flower on Our Family Blogs About.

The Stigma

"The frangrance of flowers

spreads only n one direction of the wind.

But the goodness of a person

spreads in all directions."

- Chanakya

Flower Power Tuesday: Can You Guess This?

Aside from flower, can you guess what kind of flower is this?

This is a close-up picture of a blooming pink rose. 

Wish to receive such beautiful flower this V-day?

By the way, I just want to leave a nice message:

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature

is that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden 

over the horizon

instead of enjoying the roses

that are blooming outside our windows today."

-Dale Carnegie
