nature's therapy

“Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.”

so glad that the week is almost over and i am so looking ahead of the coming weekend, i have been very busy the past weeks and i really need to slow down and relax a bit. so i'll give you this photo to look at and be relaxed like me :) 

trees

Trees
by Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

“You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin, and even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

lost horizon

The beautiful Alona Beach at Panglao, Bohol... isnt it lovely to sea the blueness of the sky and the sea mirroring each other, as if there is no horizon separating the two.

I dont know what this flower is but it surely looks different, anyone who knows what kind of flower/plant is this?

i squealed in delight upon seeing this pink heart of the banana tree, i usually see red banana heart but this is the first time is saw a pink heart! have you seen a pink heart before you've come to this blog?

a breather

Been at the world’s end and it wasn’t fun hanging by the edge while trying to keep my sanity intact… but I’m back, thank you all! =D

wildflower

"Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree"

... and "this wildflower" just turned 30 years old today =)

trees

"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!" ~ John Muir

dont be afraid

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with you best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt before because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end... be afraid that it will never begin."
