And be happy


One of my favorite things to take photos of are flowers. There’s rarely a time that I see a flower, have a camera in hand, and don’t take a photo. Every flower is beautiful and unique. Now that I wrote that out, I realize that the same can be said about each person. We just need to realize it and be the most beautiful that we can be, just like the goal of Four Leaf Clover states (over there to the right in my “welcome”). As promised, these are flowers from where I live.

I felt that this quote by Anne Frank fit perfectly nestled in among these flowers. Our world is full of beauty and too often we forget. No matter how horrible things may be, the sun is always shining somewhere in the world, flowers still bloom, and we can find a reason to smile.

If there’s any reason to smile today, it’s because it’s July… my favorite/birthday month! I’ve noticed that most people prefer the season in which their birthday is so I naturally love summer the most. Although I do love each season and I know each has its own beauty. Happy July!

I never read The Diary of Anne Frank, but I know of her story as I’m sure most of you do. If Anne could say this and be happy, then I know we all can, too, even in the darkest of moments. I really hope none of you are experiencing difficult times right now, but even if you are… I hope that you may still see all the beauty that is left around you. I hope all of you have a weekend full of beauty and happiness!

Yay! It’s our birthday month πŸ™‚ I really love all of these photographs – I often take photographs of flowers, too, because they’re so beautiful and yet live for such a small amount of time. Like us, as you said.

July is my birthday month too! I just had my birthday yesterday!
Yeah, that’s a great quote from Anne Frank. I never read her book either, but that’s an inspiring quote to read.
And love those flowers too!

I love this quote and I especially LOVE these photos! I just love pictures of flowers! One day on my vacation, I want to go to Mill Race and around my neighborhood/other places and take pictures of different flowers. I absolutely love doing that! Its so much fun and even relaxing. Especially being able to see how beautiful nature really is! I know I’m a bit late, but I hope you have a wonderful week and weekend coming up! And hopefully its a happy one as well πŸ™‚
