The Joy of Water

What is it about the beauty of a fountain? The sound of rushing water? The sweet smell of falling drops? I love fountains and this weekend when we went to Southern California our hotel did not disappoint. They had beautiful grounds and several fountains. This little beauty was in the courtyard below our balcony and I really enjoyed watching it and listening to it's peaceful sounds.

Proud as a Peacock

We took a trip to the now imfamous San Francisco Zoo last weekend and had a wonderful time. It was a bright sunny day, the zoo was not very crowded and there were many beautiful animals to be seen. They have peacocks just wandering around and this little guy was clearly proud to strut his stuff for us.

A Single Moment

I don't know what kind of flower this is but I love how it is so simple yet exquisite. The color, the veins, the simplicity of it all. I have seen these flowers in red but not sure if they come in other colors. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Don't be a Pansy

So what's with that saying any way? "Don't be a Pansy?" Why not? As far as I can see pansies are pretty darn special. They are so beautiful, so perfect and most of them have multiple layers of color that make them really interesting. I think I'd be happy to be a pansy!

Fryday Flowers

A beautiful flower to prepare us for the New Year. Hope yours is wondeful and filled with beauty.

Simplicity

In this hustle and bustle that has become the holiday season take a moment to appreciate that something very simple can be beautiful and take your breath away. Remember to stop and smell the roses (or poinsettas - just don't eat them!) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Singapore

Sorry for no photo last week but I had to go to Singapore unexpectedly for work. I took my camera with me but unfortunately I was mainly in meetings in the business district so there was not much to take photos of. However I did get a few minutes to go to China Town where I saw this gorgeous building in my favorite color! I just had to share it with you.
