A sunflower stands so proud and tall, Lifting its golden face above us all. It greets the dawn with quiet grace, Welcoming sunlight with a warm embrace. Though winds may blow and skies turn grey, It keeps its heart turned toward the day. A gentle reminder, strong and true, To seek the light in all we do. Its seeds bring hope, its petals cheer, A little touch of summer every year. So may we bloom through joy and strife, Like the sunflower—full of hope and life.
I am quite excited as my Exochorda or Machrabtha, also known as ‘The Bride’ (Pearl Bush), will be flowering soon. It has an abundance of little white flowers on it. This is mine looking quite splendid in 2004. 🙂
Honouring a father who has passed involves treasuring his enduring legacy of love, resilience, and the lessons that continue to influence our daily lives. Although he is no longer with us, his presence endures in heartfelt memories, shaping our values and offering comfort through the enduring, meaningful moments we shared.
It has been 9 years. I miss you, dad. My dad was F de.
This afternoon, I went for a walk at the Central Park. I captured these lovely little flowers, which i believe are white crocus.

This is beautiful.
Spring arrives on whispered light, gold poured gently through the sky, touching earth with tender hands and teaching sleeping roots to try. Blossoms loosen from their dreams, petals breathing blush and cream, while daffodils in yellow gowns step brightly from the winter’s seam. The air is sweet with second chances, cool but warm with promise too— as if the world has turned a page and written hope in shades of dew. Birdsong stitches dawn today, a silver thread of joy set free; and every breeze that lifts your hair says, “Begin again with me.” Spring is not just bloom and sun— it’s courage wrapped in fragile things, a quiet heart that dares to beat after frost has clipped its wings. So open wide your waiting soul, let light fall softly where it may— for even the longest winter yields to springtime’s gentle, brave ballet.
