~ Full Moon Monday ~

~" Nature is painting for us
day after day...
Pictures of Infinite Beauty!"
~ John Ruskin

~ Collage of some butterflies I feel lucky to have seen!

~" A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam.
And for a brief moment it's glory and beauty
belong to our world. But then it flies on again;
And though we wish it could have stayed, we feel
lucky to have seen it."
~Unknown

~"On sights as beautiful as this,
Angels in their flight must have gazed."
~Livington

~After the 'long awaited' Rain~

~"Anyone who says sunshine brings
happiness, has never danced
in the rain."

~"I am sure it is a great mistake
always to know enough to go in
when it rains.....

One may keep snug and dry by
knowledge, but one misses
a world of loveliness."
~Adeline Knapp

~"A rainy day is the perfect
time for a walk in the woods."
~Rachel Carson

Lovely is the ~YELLOW~ rose!

"There is simply the rose;
it is perfect in every moment
of it's existance."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is a minature rose~named
"Little Tommy Tucker"
However, it stand's over 5' tall

It smells heavenly!!

~They say a yellow rose with
long and thorny stem,
stands for friendship.....

~PINK ROSES~

"God gave us memories so that
we might have roses in December."
~J.M. Barrie

"We can complain because rose bushes have
thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."
~Abraham Lincoln
