everything is growing and changing
all in their own time
each in their own way
we watch and care for them
soon they will all be something new.

“and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
― Anais Nin
It’s wonderful to grow something from seed onwards.

I’ve always appreciated Anais Nin, but the quotation was new to me. It’s a good one, and it’s already tucked in my ‘quotations’ file.

You are true inspiration! Its amazing how you find creative things to blog about, I taught the children at my school about the life cycle of a butterfly with really caterpillars yet didn’t think to blog about it. Wow! Also the photos are absolutely beautiful and I can feel the moments through them and the words. Both together fit perfectly and portray a lovely image. Thank you for sharing, you have inspired me
