Stop and smell the roses

This post will cover a couple of challenges
Beautiful Sunday By @ace108,
The beautiful part of the post is again flowers, in the rose gardens at the office.

and
Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a,
Sublime because it features a little fridge magnet I carry with me in my camera bag called Bahbahra

Bahbahra decided to make a visit to the blog today as she appreciated everyones visit the last time she was in a post.

Sometimes Life and things going on gets to us all even to a little globe trotting sheep like Bahbahra, and sometimes we just have to slow down stop focusing ont he big things in life and look around and see the beauty around us its gives a whole new perspective on life and what is important,
So Bahbahra says ** Stop and smell the roses**

And not just the roses, even the fresh geens that are around are worth stopping and enjoying as Bahbahra shows here.

If you haven't seen a Bahbahra post before she is a little fridge magnet about an inch tall, which I picked up in a souvenir shop many years ago who likes to make an appearance every now and again

And now she is back with this lovely colorful bunch of roses, and wishes everyone a super Scintillating Sunday and to remind us all that when things start getting to us, sometimes we all need to slow down, relax and do something simple and often the worries of the world will float away from our minds and we will feel a lot better

What a wonderful reminder to keep us in check. Balance is so important for our well being and so we don't get overwhelmed.

I am so happy to see #Bahbahra back again! She will bring a smile to anyone's face. Plus, she is pretty smart for a refrigerator magnet!

The photos have a delicate look, the dreamy feel encapsulates the entire post. Lovely to look at! What a #Beautiful Sunday! Sublimely so!

Thank you for being such a great Guide on #SteemUSA!

Good to see Bahbahra make an appearance with some very sensible advice. 👍

The roses look lovely Jay.

We need an app for fragrances. 🌷😂

Thanks I think she will make more regular appearance I got a bit slack with this project for quite a while

and yeah with all the advances in technology when is smellivision coming ;)

Yep the final frontier. Smellivision! 👍😂

I remember seeing an article that some group was working on tests on how it could be done but I never reheard anything more about it but I am sure it will come one day

Just a matter of time mate. I also remember years ago that a TV show sent scratch cards out to viewers so that you could scratch the card during the show.

I don't know how successful it was though? Probably a disaster as it has never come up again :-)

The scratch card is a novel idea, but actually having the TV send out the appropriate scent for a show could be such a cool feature, i am sure it will not be too far away

Haha, watch this space. Now we are talking about it someone will come up with a new app! :-)

OHH yeah thats always the way,

What an absolutely wonderful post @tattoodjay!
Thank you Bahbahra for the sound advice, it was lovely meeting you ;)
Those roses are stunning!

Very nice!

I love Bahbahra, and today she showed us once again, how smart she is, because she is completely right.

My Computer has died this morning without warning me. My Laptop is in my office at work, and I will have to do my today's post on my phone - it will be a rather short and simple post.

I think, I'll go for a ride on my motorbike 😎 instead of trying to repair the Computer for another hour, because, as Bahbahra said, "Stop and smell the Roses". Under the helmet you can smell everything, that's in the air: strawberries from the strawberry fields around, hay, meadow flowers and also roses in the gardens of houses I drive by.

... and Bahbahra gives your nice photos a beautiful touch 😁
!ENGAGE 100

Everyone needs a little Bahbahra to remind them these things! I enjoyed your post. And, appresh the reminder to keep it real simple & sweet 🎶🍉🍍

Roses are nice but somehow today I just remembered a song that goes something like "I never promise you a rose garden". So off to youtube to look for it and here it is:


Then I saw it's way back from 1970.
I guess it's not your time. :-)

It is always recommended to smell the roses ...

You kiwis and your sheep. She is a cutey and your photos were lovely:)

LOL I cannot deny that LOL I need to get in the habit of getting more photos of her ;)
