"The flowers you see blooming in the sunshine were once hidden seeds waiting patiently for the rain."
Hola, beautiful souls in the Hive!
I hope you are having a fantastic day. It's a bit gloomy here in my side of the world, the sun is missing in action so it's rather cold, but all is well, thankfully :)

I always loved flowers, I don't know how it began but way back when we were young, we had several of them around our yard. A robust and tall bougainvillea was even climbing in the wall of the house and reached the second floor bedroom window. Also, we used to hang some green plants inside the house, my elder sister's idea. Sometimes, we forget to water them and they wilt and die but then we'd replace them again. I think it only stopped when we went away for college.

I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like flowers. I believe almost all of us appreciate their beauty and are fascinated with the magic that these amazing nature hold... I always do, especially when looking at their intricate details. I would always let out a gasping sound (in a good way) because I am always amazed and would wonder how they come about.

But sometimes, I tend to forget that before they become the beauty they are, they have gotten through a process, much like us humans.
They have to get sowed first, some of them take time to sprout whilst others come out so easily off the ground. Then there's the battle to get through all the conditions that surround them - harsh weather conditions, vandals and the like. Some thrive and others don't fare really well.

Our growth, much like theirs are rather similar [I think]. We go through a process too -- birth... growth... getting through life's storms... falling down... getting back up... learning... keeping on... then finally when we don't give up, we shine. Our life's journey is certainly not all red-carpet, yeah?
I think you get what I was trying to say :)

Anyway, before I get lost, let me just share a wee story about these photos.
The husband was just parking elsewhere some time ago when he noticed a garden across the place. So he took himself for a little tour and it was where these photographs were taken. He always loved to take photos and became more keen on closer range shots when he started posting on the microblogging platform NoiseCash late last year until he lost his access to his account which prompted him to create a new one recently where he posts his thoughts and captures from time to time.

Coming home from his trip, he excitedly shared these photos, making me transfer them from his phone to the laptop. He said I could use them more on my writing and he was right because I just wrote about them today, hehe!

And more to come in the next! Thank you and I wish you a warm, happy Easter and or Weekend!

Naimbag nga bigat antey! :D :D
Good morning met :) Don sa may wangal napicturan yan hehe.
Flowers represent, beauty, peace, hope and more than anything they trigger lovely memories locked inside us. The most loving gift anyone can give someone else are bunches of flowers, they are sent with the heart and received with the heart.
Your husband did very well taking shots of flowers, we either have the ability and skill or not and I am thinking your husband has.
Very true, they bring cheer somehow and it is so nice to receive a bunch or give some too.
He tries his best, and very patient until he gets satisfied with his shots, thank you❤
Thank you for sharing these beautiful flower photos, sis. And to Farm Boy for taking them.
It's been a while since I've been on Noise, but why did Farm Boy lose access to his account? I should take a look around there ;)
Happy week amiga!
Oh, thank you too sis. It's a pleasure to have them here. I still visit Noise once or twice a day hehe. The husband lose his seed, lol! His phone got wet and when he used another, he forgot where he saved his access so he created a new account hehe. See you there sis :) Cheers!
I hope he hasn't lost too much with that seed. See you there, sis! 😊
Yes sis, there wasn't much so it was okay :) See you🤗

I like your metaphors and comparisons, the way you compare people and flowers.
