Flowers whisper “Beauty!” to the world, even as they fade, wilt, fall.  ~Dr. SunWolf,

Peony in bloom Peony opening Peony in its glory Wilted Peony

I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

People in nature

I’m participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggersThis week’s Challenge is: People in Nature!

I took a simple approach to this…all kids love to play in the nature, well at least mine did.

We spent hours daily playing in woods, ditches and by the sea. I wish all kids had that opportunity. These did – all in different countries.

Beautiful hazy foggy day

You can find beauty in a day full of hazy fog…if you look for it.

The sun was already going down and it was around 2 pm, in the first photos, and 4 pm in the last 4 photos.
