Take Time ~

Nobody sees a flower
really
 it is so small
 
it takes
time
 we haven't time
and to see
takes time
like to have a friend
takes time.

It is so true that really 'seeing' a flower takes time.It seems we are in too much of a hurry to see the beauty.

The mention of having a friend takes time reminds me of a saying that's in my head. Something about make new friends, but keep the old for one is silver and the other is gold.

Thanks for your visit to my blog this afternoon. Nice of you.

Your words remind me to, "Take time to smell the roses"... or the lilies, or so many other wonders whose details we overlook because we're rushing through our day. Thank you for taking me closer, helping me truly see.

Your close-ups are stunning - you've captured emotion, which is very difficult to do. And thanks for stopping the other day; I think I can regain my natural rhythm, now that the semester is over!

Georgia O'Keeffe and your fantastic photography. What a special treat. Noticing beauty and developing a friendship both do take time.
Just love your photos and the ability to zoom in and see the details. It's heavenly, Susan.

Thank you for this treat.

Blessings,

Stunning photos! Sadly, the thing I struggle with the most is having time. I have cut back on my hours at work just slightly, so I am now trying to make time for what I want to do instead of just what I have to do.
