Eye Candy At The English Gardens

It is time to see some color. Since I still don't see it when I look outside, I dug back into last years files and look what I found.

With all the talk about viruses and closures and generally speaking, negativity, I need some bright images to refresh my eyes and my mind. Let me just say, I am concerned, just like everyone else, but sometimes it is beneficial to step away for a moment and be refreshed.

I think this little Ruby-throated Hummingbird, captured last summer at The English Gardens, fills that need.

I love the Water Lilies. With their bright petals turned upward to catch every bit of sunlight, they brighten my day.

I share another one, just because I like them so much.

 Dahlias are another flower I can't seem to grow well, so off to The English Gardens I go, where I can see many of them. This bright flower reminds me of fireworks bursting with beauty.

I started with a Hummingbird, so I will end with another one.  They love the patch of Monarda or Bee Balm at The English Gardens.

Living unafraid doesn’t mean that we don’t feel fear but that we don’t obey it.
