I started this blog a year ago ~ March 2012. It’s a little bit hard to believe that I’ve been doing this for an entire year! Are we tired of flower photos yet??? 🙂 Maybe we are, and the truth is that I won’t be posting as frequently now because there is always so much else that needs to be done. But I’ve learned something in this last year. I’ve learned that the people I’ve come to know here are the creators of ripples of goodwill which travel across great bodies of water and huge expanses of land…and that so many people from so many different parts of the world could be brought together as friends. And, so, thank you to all of you for visiting this blog every now and then, and for all that you do each day in sharing your talent, your love, and your inspiration. I feel blessed to be sharing this space in time with each of you. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!

I trust that I’ll never tire of flowers and flower pictures.
Thanks Steven, for your positive and kind comment. 🙂

YOU spread beauty and joy…may you find the perfect balance as you move into the next year!
Hi Vicki – Thank you so much…and, yes, it’ll all be okay. 🙂
You see beauty in other people and nature’s wonders because of the beauty in you’re own heart and soul.
Jeff, that was incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you. 🙂
Your blog is beautiful, keep posting the amazing flowers! 🙂
Thank you Ruby… 🙂
Congrats on a year of blogging.
I enjoy your photos, and hope you don’t stop completely. I do think it’s important not to let it become a chore, though, but let it be a joy to you as well as the readers.
Thanks Delft! This is one of my favorite places to be, with all of you wonderful people…and I’ll still be posting, just not as much. Maybe once or twice a week. I’ll still be trying to keep up with the blogs of all the people I follow myself…at the end of each day. Hope your weekend is wonderful! 🙂
Those are the exact words I would’ve liked to use to describe the magical moments in blogging… The feedback and load of encouragement as a result. Thanks for this heartfelt post 🙂 They are continually appreciated!
Awww, thank you…it is true, there are so many magical moments here in the blogging world. I really appreciate your kind words. 🙂
