Blue My Mind

 "Where flowers bloom so does hope." 

~ Lady Bird Johnson

I found this lovely flower and insect (a hover fly I think) on my

walk around the Hahn Horticulture Garden on Monday, October 7, 2024

I believe this flower is called a shaggy dwarf morning-glory and is named 

"Blue My Mind" - hence the title of my post.

Valuable Moments

Do not wait not for old age to wake you up to the true value of each moment.

This was taken with my iPhone and Olloclip macro lens. 
I also tried to video this little guy ...not sure if he was washing himself or taking a drink.  Sorry for the shakiness of the video.  This video is a FIRST for me!

By Your Side

It all comes down to who's by your side. 

~ Nicholas Sparks

Let Your Spirit Start to Soar

Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be…Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar, and you’ll live as you’ve never lived before.

~ Erich Fromm
