Willow-Herb
Isn’t this little flower a beauty? I photographed this on the edge of an industrial park, while Steven was in a business there, but I don’t think the location matters as long as I photograph it and you get to enjoy it. I must be a little shutter happy as when I see lovely flowers of whatever size, colour, type and wherever they are, I grab them for later. The trick is in seeing, which involves actively looking for them (and of course having the camera with me). I had to balance on a stone ledge that was wobbly, as the flower was just down the bank leading to a stream. I suppose this is a little like our moments of joy, come to think of it. At times it is so easy to focus on the frustrations and wobbly moments and to let the good around us pass without appreciation. Turning it around so that instead those good moments become the main focus will push those other annoyances farther into the background. I know that sounds trite and is easier said than done. But it’s worth a try, to see how it can change our perspective on the day. View all posts on the Home page. A Flower a Day #397

This is another in the ‘not-just-another-pretty-face’ category, since it also an edible herb with medicinal properties. As you say it matters not where this sweet beauty was found, its proud demeanour leaves no doubt as to how it values its self-worth. Thank you, Ellie, for appreciating it too.
To be honest, Janet, I felt almost sorry that I had to leave it there where it was, when it was such a beautiful flower. But no doubt long after the factories around it have crumbled into the ground, this plant will survive. Thank you for the comment.
Another bright and cheery flower Ellie thanks. I love the ability to be able to zoom in close and see all the intricate details in the flowers. Certainly adds to the beauty of them and helps you to appreciate the designer behind them. Thanks again for sharing hope you have a great day. Hugs to you and Steve
Thank you Linda. I am so pleased that you like the fact that you can see it full size to really appreciate the details. That’s what I hope people will do. You are right, it really shows the beauty in the design. What an artist!
