Sometimes we convince ourselves we are happy with the middle ground. Happy to be what they call normal, or average if you will. Other times we strive to be head and shoulders above the rest. To reach for the sky. Shining bright in the hopes that our happiness and success will rub off and encourage others to be the best ...
As you walk down the steps towards the brick arch, a picturesque landscape all but mesmerizes you and draws you forward. As beautiful as a painting, there is nothing one dimensional about the Great Comp Garden in Kent, England. The garden adds a air of elegance to the 17th century home it surrounds. Vibrant colors brighten the entire garden helping ...
I had a pretty good idea my little monkey sock puppet was sneaking out during the day while I was at work. I just didn't have any proof. Every night when I came home, there he was sitting on his shelf. His big green button eyes lighting up his face. Then one day I found this...yep, someone's been monkeying around ...
There are different things people use to brighten their day. Some like direct sunlight, others like chocolate. Some like spending time with friends, others like spending time outdoors. There's one thing that holds true for pretty much anyone though, a trip to Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. will brighten anyone's day! The fragrant flowers, shaped trees, manicured landscapes, blossoming trees ...

Well, I'm sure many cottages in England have beautiful gardens, but just take a look at this one. It's peaceful, inviting and you can almost smell the fragrant ...
We've all heard that love can be found in the strangest places, but it's nice to know that even nature is full of heart. There are hearts to be found in flowers, in trees, in leaves, in clouds, etc. These are my favorite hearts though. They hang around so innocently, puffing up with the gentlest of breezes. And the purity of the heart never ceases to shine through.
The Bird of Paradise flower, sometimes referred to as the Crane flower, is a brightly colored flower which seems to resemble a bird's beak and plumage. They are one of the most popular flowers when it comes to both commercial and residential landscaping. Not surprising since the bird of paradise is said to represent joyfulness and paradise itself.

There's something about a Dandelion that seems to take you back to your childhood. Maybe it's their beautiful color or maybe it's just the memory of picking up a Dandelion once it got to its "white, fluffy seed-like" stage, making a wish, blowing the seeds into the wind and watching them fly away with the wind. Whatever it is, Dandelions ...
The daffodil, also known as a narcissus, has become a symbol of true friendship. The flower itself has a beautiful trumpet-shape with a ring of petals beneath it that resemble a star shape pattern. Most daffodils are recognized as having some kind of yellow or golden yellow color to them, although daffodils can now be found in many different colors.
