After going through my last few posts and rereading them, I thought about how despite all the melancholy I expressed in writing I did not give adequate acknowledgment to recent happy experiences. When life gets hard, it’s hard not to unconsciously slip into a funk. I forget to take time to slow down and ground…… Continue reading Oh Happy Times
It’s the last day of 2018. I am excited and scared of being present for another 365 days done and over with, and of the anticipation of all the happiness and pain that may follow into 2019. I feel lost every year. I don’t know if I am as aimless as I was at the…… Continue reading Last Hooray of 2018
My 4th of July didn’t go as expected. Life can change so easily in a blink of an eye. I was so sure in my last post that things would go accordingly as I was picturing they would. How many times have I been here before, with my inaccurate fortune telling? I should know better…… Continue reading Happy Belated 4th
Yesterday was a fantastic humid day for walking along the seaside. Good thing I didn’t wear flip-flops as I am prone to do during summer-ish weather. I needed my sneakers for how far I went (I walked for two hours with small breaks in-between), and flip-flops would’ve definitely put a serious strain on my feet…… Continue reading Strolling by the Sea
I took a walk at another park not intending to take any pictures, but I couldn’t resist passing up on these two flowers, even though it was amazingly hot outside. đ§
I recently popped in to see the Macy’s Flower Show at Herald Square in NYC. All the flower arrangements there were lovely to look at, although it was packed with people. Some areas were more crowded than others and this made it was tricky to try to take good phones. I’m also not a good…… Continue reading Flower Show!
It’s finally April and many plants are just starting to poke through the top of the soil with new shoots. I was not expecting to see any flowers yet but did find some early surprises. Also, a random fun fact about pussy willow branches are they’re used as decoration for the Lunar New Year celebration…… Continue reading Backyard surprises
I was just exploring a new park. Not really much green yet, but there are signs of life. đ I might upload more photos later.
Nature is what I need today. This is a photo of a yellow tree peony in full bloom from last summer. I’m surprised I never shared it, I remember being wowed by it. Coincidentally, the last flower photo I shared on my blog was also yellow. I swear that wasn’t on purpose, lol. I hope…… Continue reading Yellow tinted queen
This is a flower head from one of my mini phalaenopsis orchids. I would have liked it to stay on its branch but the plant took a tumble from the table a few days earlier and unfortunately a flower snapped off. đ˘ I wanted to take a snapshot to commemorate its beauty before it wilted…… Continue reading Orchid head
