Today was a lovely day, sunny & calm. I decided to walk around our homestead taking photo's of my mom's plants just to share on here lol
While She likes to plant & enjoys all this green environment, I would rather be surrounded by tall buildings and concrete.
Probably because I have lived around this kind of environment all my life.
Her Trees...
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
-Joyce Meyer
Her Flowers...
Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.
-Don Miguel Ruiz
She has them in all sort of colors...
Yellow Roses
Red Roses
No idea what some are,like this ones , but they look good and make the compound bright :)
This are so pretty when they open up, unfortunately I didn't find one that was matured
This I'm not familiar with either..
Pink Roses
Her Vegetables..
Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.
-Bobby Flay
At the back of our house we have a back yard that runs probably close to an acre, my mums uses a small section of it to practice & perfect her farming skills lol, this is what I found..
Banana Trees
Kales....We call them Sukuma Wiki in Swahil
Cabbages
Spinach
Some Onions
Some green & Red Pepper
Cherry Tomatoes
Extras...
This is actually some sort of grass planted in a flower pot .
Some Pointless Small Fence...it goes round the compound in patterns,I'll try capture it some more when I have more time.
That's as far as I could go, photography is pretty tasking , and tiring, I think I'd rather stick to penning down. And frustrating when you aren't getting the perfect shots. I don't know how you do it @scottshots, I'll be dropping by for tips for my next round. How did I do though? Lol
Gracious times to all,
With Love as Always,
-El

Wow. I am truly humbled :)
I read it earlier this morning. You top the class in the awsomeness department really. I am fortunate to have a friend in you. :)
I am trying to catch up with commenting & voting on the #Payitforward entries...Itentries...It was a bad idea to wait this long. I should have done it as soon as an entry is added. As it is I can only do comments as my VP will get so low if I upvote all of them at the same time.

Not bad, not bad! The important part is to have fun with it! Take lots of shots, play, and experiment. These shots made me look forward to getting some seeds in the ground soon. It snowed again this morning but it's been melting fast and almost time for veggi gardening season!

@elsiekjay that must be a really calm day for you, nothing beats chilling out with nature.
This is relatable to the concept of "Overnight Success" we don't see the pain, long hours and struggles (roots) all we care about is results (the beautiful tree)

You are very correct. I no longer believe in over night success, everything requires hard work and persistence

Your mother is quite the gardener, and you are a pretty good photographer. It is almost spring for us in Alaska, so soon to maybe be getting some plants out, and photos, of them in two months. Once they start to grow, they really grow in Alaska.

You adapt, acclimate, the first two years are tough, then the third winter when it's sunny outside and no wind 32F degrees is t-shirt weather.

@elsiekjay You know I have included this post in the Pay It Forward contest for a fact that this post attracts my attention. The plant and vegetable are quite similar to what we have in Malaysia. However, I have not seen the flower here though
i could see some of the officials have upvoted this post.
Wish you good luck

Fully agreeable. Incidentally, we joined in the same month but landed on the different ground and time zone. Fortunate that we have Internet that connects us day and night and we meet each other in Discord
Talking about discord, I have joined too many in the early stage but now settle down with a few only. Really cannot spend too much time on discord neglecting the fundamental of Steemit.
O want to focu on average of 1 Quality post a day and engage in discord that has many newbies.
Lets excel together in the same platform buy in different part of the world
cheers

I had also donedone same with discord. I have left most of them that I felt weren't adding value to me, as of now I intend to have 4 discords to the max. Building relationships that Will help me grow is my short term & long term goal for nownow.

That is the learning curve and natural progression in steemit. And I realized it soon enough that I must stay focus to value-add in discord group.
For some of the high-end group like promo-mentor, whaleshare which focus on curation advice, I will stay on to particpate with really quality content.
These two channels are very important for me to evaluate my capability
As for some community nature of Discord, I will stay as long as I can value-add on both ends as I also need to build up my strength ( in SP ) in order to contribute with impact.
Most newbie who joined discord servers wanted help in term of getting income. Most are not aware that some fundamentals needed to be there.
I do write about some tutorial to build these fundamentals and take active role in certain discord to provide online tutorial about these fundamentals.
Anway , these are some of the things I can contribute at my current stage of knowlege. I will add-on as I picked up mre knowldege myself.
