Stop. Look. Beautiful things are right in front of you. That's what happened to me over the weekend. I was sitting in the car waiting for my husband to get a beach permit for our car and I was staring into space, waiting....then I noticed I was staring straight into a gum nut tree which was ablaze with blooms! Nobody else in the car noticed. I had to pick a teeny branch to adorn our table that evening. Such beauty in such a small moment. So I continue to stop.... and look ..... at random.......
Happy Monday to you all.
Happy Monday to you all.
You are so right- beautiful colours! I'm always seeing little wonderful things that make me smile - happy monday to you too
ReplyDeleteLove the flower moment. I just tried to open a sponsor page, Flethcer And Grace. Won't open, I will try again later.
ReplyDeleteJust to think..all that growing throughout a whole season and budding and flowering..all that effort and energy..just for you to discover and admire and your family to enjoy! Someone loves you. Isn't it amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Simone! What beautiful pink blossom :)
ReplyDeleteWow. So true. I love it. I've never seen these before.
ReplyDeleteI like this post :) :)
ReplyDeletePink blossoms...my favourite colour don't you know! I do believe that is also the beauty of bloggin, we take time to notice the little things and we try and capture them to share with others. It makes the whole day seem like it has a purpose then! A beautiful happy purpose...every day is special!

There's indeed beauty in the smallest things, in the smallest moments, you just have to notice them. The gum nut tree doesn't grow over here but what lovely blooms!!!!
ReplyDeleteBye,
Have a great week!

Hi Simone, isn't it good for your soul when you notice the simple beauty right before your eyes. yesterday morning at about 4.30am,as i was putting a blog together, i looked out the window and saw the moon, just before the clouds washed over it. I was so grateful that i looked up at that moment in time.
ReplyDeleteThat's stunning what a gorgeous colour ;-)) Its good to stop every once in a while and see and enjoy what is around us, dee x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! Don't think I've seen one like that over here before...xxx
ReplyDeleteBeauty really is everywhere isn't it? We just need to take a deep breath and take the time to notice - something I need to do a lot more of!
