Are We Feeling Good This Evening?
, originally uploaded by Davidlind.
I was looking through some photos this evening and this one just reached out and hit me in the head. I don’t know what to say about it. But I feel it deserves to be seen.

Flowers And Light Go Together/ Kahlil Gibran/ Ninon de L'Enclos
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. ~Kahlil Gibran
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful. ~Ninon de L’Enclos

The brightest glow is from love light.

Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens/ Beautiful Weather And Company
Beth and I had not been to the botanical gardens here in Richmond this spring so we went there this afternoon for a few hours. The weather is just about perfect today. It is warm and there is a very nice cooling breeze. The humidity is very low and our little corner of the world seems to be at peace.
Having this time together with her in such a beautiful spot is my idea of heaven on earth. And so we wandered down the paths while we smelled the wonderful smells and viewed the colorful plants.
Here is one of the photos I took as we went inside where they grow many of the flowers needing protection. They had the doors open today because it was so nice outside.
