every moment is
a golden one
 for him
who has the vision
to recognize it
as such

Sometimes, we see so much more when we look up close. These photos show me a beauty I often take for granted in this humble flower.

Love to you, Susan.

That's why I love my camera, even though it's only a point and shoot for now; it gets me looking/searching for beauty. Thanks for this post Susan.... quite lovely, indeed!

Ginny Hartzler said...

I love that quote! And it sure is a golden moment for that little bug there!

Interestingly I posted an orange blossom to my own blog today, as I'm trying to find my inspiration again. I love settling in to visit, finding peace here, and words of wisdom. Thank you.

Oh, that Henry Miller...a strange and wonderful writer...I've loved his words since college.

A lovely unfolding of the common cosmos, Susan.

Wow!

Maureen said...

That's the trick, of course; recognizing that moment as golden.

I especially like your first image. The time of just before budding holds the greatest possibilities.

wonderful sequence of moments captured, sort of like the sequence of time it often takes us to recognize the "ah ha" ;)

my neighbor has a front yard full of these (cosmos?) in just this color... i've tried to grow them, several times, but they just don't do well for me, so i appreciate them from a distance...

I have Cosmos in white and pink but I don't think I've ever seen them in this golden orange shade... so beautiful!

Cosmos are some of my favorite flowers. They seem like the free spirits of the horticulture world. Always very bright and flowing...

Adorably beautiful!
Susan I do not get to comment very often but I want you to know that each time I am on the net I visit your blog because it always lifts me up! I thank you so much.
