I love the fern! The frog quote kinda reminds me of something John and I tease about....Harriet has a hairy chin and her belly drags the ground and yet we think she is cute; the same is not cute on me!!!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured beauty!!
ReplyDeleteBest,

Last year, it was very odd for us to see Hibiscus blooming. They are beautiful and at the same time a bit fragile. Golden Thanks for sharing and capturing their beauty. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I think there are some things, maybe not toads, that are universally considered beautiful. Who could look at a bouquet of hibiscus or Stargazer lilies or wildflowers and not think them beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture of the flower and thought stiring post on beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful my friend!
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous shots, sandra! how wonderful to be surrounded by so much beauty. i really like that first one!

ReplyDeleteBeauty is truly everywhere, Sandra. Sadly, many people forget to see it every day in some way.
ReplyDeleteMS WE SEE BEAUTY EVERY SINGLE DAY IN YOUR PICTURES AND CREATIVITY.
ReplyDeleteHUGS MADI AND MOM
I know I will always find something beautiful here. Your garden is so rich in beauty and you know how to capture and share it.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are spectacular...just spectacular! So bright and clear. Each one is so cheery to me. I really like the hibiscus. I have always loved them but have never grown any. Even the wilting ones are gorgeous. You get better and better, Sandra. I know you love taking the photos but I love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful macro shots of nature's beautiful flowers and love your animals! ~ carol, xo
ReplyDeleteVery creative use of quotes on the meaning of beauty alongside photographic evidence of beauty. I really enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sandra. Are those in your back yard? You never showed them before.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful blossoms. I like the way you've photographed them against the wood.
ReplyDeleteEverything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. - Confucius
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photos today! Love seeing those pinks as we are past the pastels here and onto the autumnal tones.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots....Great post; I enjoyed reading it very much...
ReplyDeletelove your photos! the voltaire quote reminds me of the twilight zone episode in the eye of the beholder. to the pig-faced people, the beautiful woman was ugly. beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

You know you are right - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A frog would think that another frog would be cute - where someone else wouldn't. I love the flowers in the first two pictures!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures do a great job of showing beauty.
ReplyDeleteI love the Voltaire quote!
ReplyDeleteI think flowers are beautiful in all stages as your photos show. The first one is my favorite but as much for the background as the flower.
Your photos have captured beauty and are in fact beautiful themselves.
ReplyDeleteAnd you for sure captured some beauty in these pictures sweet Sandra. These shots are terrific! Hugs
ReplyDeleteEverywhere.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of beauty, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteSandra. The truth be known.
ReplyDeleteI like all your reads and beautiful photography right down to the long Horn.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you're having a good week and everything is going well. The pink flowers against the wood in the first photo is my favourite, but they are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo, a toad would love me...now wait...I don't have a yellow belly and spotted back!
ReplyDeleteWell said and well shown
