MARCY'S THOUGHTS- I STAND IN AWE OF MOTHER NATURE'S LIVING ART! FLOWERS!

 

I am in love with the amount of beauty Mother Nature has given us!  You can see it every where!  In the flowers, trees, the land, and the sky!  Each region has it's own type of beauty!  "Earth" is abundant with living art! 

In wondering how to choose what to share I decided I'd start with FLOWERS!!

It really takes so little to surround yourself with beautiful flowers.  Whether you plant a seed or buy a starter plant- all it takes from us is some soil, a bit of water, and some sunshine!  Mother Nature does the rest!  All varieties, colors, shapes, sizes need the same three things!  Depending on the plant, they may need a bit less or more sun.  That's easy to find out!

I've had my share of failures!  Over watering, too much or too little sun.  I've learned to do a little research when something's not going well.  I'm amazed how forgiving Mother Nature is, and how resilient plants can be! 

                                        Breathtaking colors in all sorts of varieties!

             I saw this unusual plant in Hawaii!  I have no idea what it is, but love the color and unusual shape!

I've often wondered if flowers and plants respond to the love the gardener feels for them.  It may sound silly.  Yet they are indeed living things.  As I delight in them and enjoy working with them, they seem to respond and to thrive!

I find quiet satisfaction in working with Mother Nature.  I do a small part- But Mother Nature is the artist!

Flowers are a seasonal beauty. In the late Fall  I look forward to the promise of their beauty once again in the Spring. 

There is other  breathtaking art work  that Mother Nature provides!  Next time I'll share with you another  small glimpse of Mother Nature's Canvas. 

Until then, Dear Readers! Look for the beauty, whether it's in a sunset, a flower, or the shape of a cloud. Sometimes we just need to take a moment to slow down and look!
