#500 Evening Primrose
We have reached a milestone, my friends! You are reading post number 500 in this project. In that whole time I have never missed a single day. Of course I never expected that after such a long time there would still be a need to make an effort to keep myself and others cheerful, but I am realising that it’s not just related to the current pandemic and that there is always a need. I don’t know how long I will continue posting, but while I still have photographs of flowers and there are still people who enjoy seeing them, I will do so. As for today’s photo, I know many were expecting something spectacular, like fireworks exploding. Honestly, I didn’t know what flower would be fantastic enough to post to celebrate this post, but on reflection I realised that even the simplest of flowers is more amazing than this achievement of mine. With this in mind, I decided on this perfectly simple wildflower, the Evening Primrose. It grows around here in abundance, not fields of them, but in patches, and it’s always a pleasure to come across one. They may not be flamboyant as many flowers are, but they are beautiful in their simplicity and they keep going in the least hospitable environments. And the yellow is so bright and refreshing.We could do worse than imitate them – not worry about being flamboyant, but being content with the simple beauty that we all have, and being as bright and refreshing as we can, despite whatever situations we are facing.

Ellie 500 ….. gees that is showing your age ..
Australia Day here today and so quiet as I feel most are staying home and avoiding the crowds unless you are at the tennis . The Aussie Open has gone nuts and people are screaming their heads off .
Now another flower and another post .. Lots of hours sharing Ellie so a BIG thank you for all your efforts .
Thanks a lot, Len. And you are most welcome, it’s a win win situation as I get a pleasure from sharing and getting them ready, too.
Wow! What an accomplishment, Ellie. To take on the task of keeping our spirits uplifted deserves a toast all on its own…but to do it non-stop for 500 days is truly remarkable. And I love your pick to mark the day…simply elegant, soft, almost ethereal, and fleeting like time itself. Thank you, Ellie, for another sunny image and for your unfailing devotion to this post.
Thank you so much for that lovely comment, Janet. And thank you, too, for your unfailing support and encouragement throughout the 500 days. If I have made 50d0 posts, then you must have made that many comments, which shows a dedication to a friendship that also deserves a huge thank-you from me. It is comments from friends like yourself that have helped to keep me going.
Well done Ellie! 🙂 Both the flowers and your shots are amazing and it’s also amazing you keep posting every day and today you reached the 500th post! I very much like the flowers you present us, a beautiful, colourful surprise each day. Keep on taking photos and brightening our days with colour and smiles 🙂
Kisses and hugs your way!
Thank you very much, Eleftheria. I very much have appreciated your comments, both here and on Tipua, throughout the project. I am so glad you have been enjoying them and that they help to brighten your days with smiles and colour. Kisses and hugs right back to you!
Thank you so much for all your hard work Ellie. I can’t believe that it’s now 500 flowers that you’ve posted. They are all beautiful and have their own distinctive beauty in colour and design. They are quite a pick-me-up for everyone that sees it. Thanks for all the effort you put into explaining about them and the stories behind them that makes it even more enjoyable. Hope you have a great day hugs to you and Steve
Thank you so much for that lovely comment, Linda. In fact your comment just gave me more thoughts for a post I am getting ready for a couple of days from now. 🙂 So thank you for that, too. If I have made 500 posts, then you have made as many comments and more as you also comment at times on IG. So thank you for your constant support. Hugs back to you both.
