Where calmness is present, so too is the color blue. In addition to its peacefulness, blue also offers direction and empathy.

Colors #1
Green! Where do you look to find the meaning of green? Is it in the pale yellow-green of newly sprouted blade of grass? Can it be found in the dazzling sparkle of an emerald? Or does green’s meaning reside in the aromatic depth of a drizzly pine forest? Green inspires and vitalizes us in all its hues.
Green is calming, stress-relieving, and–a bit paradoxically–invigorating.
The color meaning of green is vitality, freshness, growth, wealth, balance, health, & youthfulness.

I am taking the easy way out from dilemma, going with color theme, mostly. Most likely the photos will be of flowers, but I might surprise you and myself, who knows what colorful things I will find to photograph.
“Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.” – Vincent Van Gogh
“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” – Oscar Wilde
Color is, on the evidence of language alone, very bound up with the feelings.

Something I noticed #15
This fly, bug..I’ve no idea what it is as a species, but something I noticed was the bright green color, it was such a great contrast to the garland it was on. I must admit, I was happy I had my camera on hand.
The wonders of waterlilies
I annually visit Mustio castle, a stunning historical landmark that captures my imagination every time I step onto its grounds. I love the beautiful park that surrounds the castle, where vibrant flowers bloom in a riot of colors throughout the seasons and the air is filled with the sweet scent of nature’s bounty. The serene dock, bordered by enchanting water lilies, offers a peaceful escape where I often find myself lost in thought or simply enjoying the sounds of nature. I have yet to unload my camera disk, which holds precious memories captured during my visits; these stunning images were all taken with my mobile, allowing me to share the beauty of Mustio castle and its surroundings with friends and family who have yet to experience this magical place.
Heartleaf oxeye
Telekia speciosa , attracts day butterflies (nettle butterfly), honeybees and beetles as you can see and as we have to keep them safe so we will have flowers etc in the future too, this is a great flowers addition to the garden.
Daisy
“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” – Therese of Lisieux
In our case, summer would lost its charm as daisies bloom in the summer 🙂 here in Finland
