Its about a half mile walk from the house to the little cafe at the recreation center where I can sit among fountains in cushioned chairs, sip on a mocha and write. Here are three from the walk.

Brown-eyed Susan
Brown-eyed Susan – Processed in Topaz Adjust 5 “Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.”
Don Miguel Ruiz -
Looking at Flowers
Daisies “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O’Keeffe -
The Butterfly
The Butterfly “All things share the same breath—the animal, the tree, the man– they all share spirit with all of life.”
Chief Seattle -
Something good will happen
Day Lily “I should not make any promises right now,
But I know if you Pray
Somewhere in this world –
Something good will happen.”
― Hafiz of Persia -
I Think It’s Beautiful
Black-eyed Susan, maybe? “Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude for life.”
Hafiz of PersiaNot sure what this flower is. It could be a coneflower, a daisy or a black-eyed Susan. Makes no difference to me cuz I think it’s beautiful.

Columbines in the Shade
Yellow Columbine “We can no longer hear the voice of the rivers, the mountains, or the sea.
Thomas Berry
The trees and meadows are no longer intimate modes of spirit presence.
The world about us has become an ‘it’ rather than a ‘thou.’” -
Shades of Purple
Columbine
