Stopped to Smell the Flowers

in photography •  8 years ago 

Even though I've been pretty busy lately with the new job, getting Steemit posts done, responding to comments and helping people out more one-on-one...I still have to stop and enjoy the Flowers! It's hard to imagine life before carrying a camera everywhere I go (yay for smartphones!)

This one reminds me of some kind of alien Muppet!!

I loved the differing tones between these two poofs of tiny tiny flower bits.

I find solace in simplicity like this.

And of course, the obligatory kitty pic!

Awesome photos. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing these amazing photos and for all the help in the past. I maybe leaning on you in he future to help me figure out how to manage my Steemit account. DR

Thank you!
I'm happy to help out...it's something I really enjoy doing. Feel free to send me a direct message in steemit.chat or discord. They're easier for me to keep track of with some comments slipping through the cracks lately (unfortunately.)

I have signed up for Steemit chat but have never used it. I tried but was very unsuccessful. Lol.

Ahh, I getcha. Ummm, I sent you a direct message on there :)

Yes...because those flowers... I stop, read, watch, upvote and leave comment. :D

Pretty little things like that are definitely worth taking a break from life for. :)

Pandai cakap inggris ya

Good job sobat

The first one on top looks like lamb's ears. Not many people know that it was once used as a medicinal plant.

Oh nice!! I had no clue what they are. But looking up lamb's ears it definitely looks like them. TY!!
Even better that they were used medicinally. There's a ton of these outside my work. :)

What's that purple colored flower you took photo? (2nd from the beginning)

They are all very awesome, by the way. Thanks. :)

I wish I knew! I just came across it..but I'll try to look it up and see if I can find out.

Haha okay.

They maybe spiraea japonica (not sure)

That definitely looks like it...thank you! :D

We actually had just talked about your post on the @steemittalk podcast a little bit ago...that's how I came across it. :)

Wow. I didn't know that. Can you please point me exactly where can I find it?

That first photo is really nice! And I agree with you always stop and enjoy the small things in life.

Thank you! I was amazed with that one too when I came across it, screaming 'take my picture!' Lol
Yea, those little moments of little to no thought, connecting with other things, add so much to my days. I've thought for a long time that was part of the thought between the Sabbath. :P

Hello my friend
