Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love living in South Florida. On my morning walks, nature is sometimes ready with a surprise. I love meeting new creatures. These moments, though few and far between, are Beautiful.
Take a walk with a turtle. And behold the world in pause.

Today, and everyday, I See Beautiful.
Thank you, as always, to my dear friend Sugar the Golden Retriever for hosting this hop.
Wow wish I lived there :-)

ReplyDeleteEvery place has beauty, we need only to look for it!
ReplyDeleteWe saw a large turtle on one of our walks a few days back. Unfortunately (and of course) it was on a day when I got lazy and didn't carry the camera.
Oz your part of the world looks beautiful indeed and wow you even have a walking rock. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

ReplyDeleteI so admire your photos of the flowers. Very apt quotations to match. Beautiful indeed!
ReplyDeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, he ain't no little guy, he's a snapper! A youngster too. They get enormous if they don't live near roads and cars. They can also do some serious damage to doggie noses or any other part that gets to close to that beak! But then I guess y'all know that 'cause y'all are standing a respectable distance.
The flower shots are beautiful. The colors are amazing and soft.
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog

I always wonder what Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley would think of all the creatures you encounter, Oz. At first I smile, but then the imaginary barking begins... :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! Love seeing the different flowers that are blooming in everyone's corner of the planet. You're so calm with that turtle! Pretty sure Rita would be afraid of it at first, then bark at it like mad!
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful flowers Oz! Love your orchids!
