"The heaviness of being successful

was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again,

less sure about everything.

It freed me to enter

one of the most creative periods of my life."

Nature's Touch Monday: The Color of Spectrum

Tweet

Two weeks ago, on our way to work, Mommy and I witnessed a very beautiful masterpiece of Mother Nature - Rainbow.

That day, the rainbow is very beautiful because it was a complete arc rather than just a portion. So I pulled the car and framed it. The photo below is actually two photos merged together using Photoscape.

"Rainbows introduce us to reflections of different beautiful possibilities

so we never forget that pain and grief

are not the final options in life."

- Aberjhani, Journey Through the Power of the Rainbow

Natures Touch Monday: Tiny Flowers

Tweet

"Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve.

Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water.

But there must be sunlight also.

A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does,

the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.” 

-Brian Jacques, Taggerung

"People with disabilities have abilities too

and that is what this course is all about - 

making sure those abilities blossom 

and shine so that all the dreams 

you have can come true."

- Mary McAleese

One of the tips I got in photography is to shoot in an unusual angle. So here is a tridax daisy flower taken from the bottom making the sky as the background rather than shooting it down .

Nature's Touch Monday: Big Hopper

Tweet

"Thy crowned are as the locusts,
and thy captains as the great grasshoppers,
which camp in the hedges in the cold day,
but when the sun ariseth they flee away,
and their place is not known where they are.”
Nahum 3:17 King James Version

Last week, I posted the mini hopper, now it is bigger. Actually, this is not the same one I posted last week. I was lucky to have such creatures visiting our plants.

Nature's Touch Monday: The Mini Hopper

Green little vaulter, in the sunny grass,
Catching your heart up at the feel of June,
Sole noise that's heard amidst the lazy noon,
When ev"n the bees lag at the summoning brass.

- To the Grasshopper and the Cricket (Leigh Hunt)
