"My Work Is My Hobby"

 "I was born to find the BEAUTY in everyone "

 A strong, dependable Taurus who leads the way when it comes to reaping the rewards of hard work. Lovers of everything that is fine and beautiful, Taureans surround themselves with material gains. This is a sensual, tactile sign. Touch is very important in everything from work to romance. Stable and conservative, Taureans are among the most reliable of the zodiac. While sometimes viewed as stubborn, this sign will plod along on a task until the very end, ensuring that everything is up to standard. They're highly creative and thoroughly enjoy making things with their own hands.

A ROSE for my Birthday

My birthday fell on a weekend 

but I was surprised to receive 

a rose from my son, Kurt. 

When he got home from school

afternoon of June 28... he handed me 

with a shy-mannered gesture,

 a single stem with a red rose

 in full bloom and greeted me in advance.

He said, he wanted to buy a bunch

 but his money could only afford one. 

I felt so touched with this simple 

yet meaningful expression of love.

Flower Power

Red, yellow and white... blossom so bright

Flower symbolizes beauty
A bloom that captivates the eye
Its redness means passion
A desire to cuddle the warmth
of love in the air.

Flower may change a sudden mood
from a very long face
 to a grin from ear-to-ear.
It can make or break a flaming affair
and dry up until the wind
blows it away.

Shooting Like-a-PRO

I've been fascinated 

with this 

stimulating hue 

The shade represents

 joy, clarity and hope

Its brightness illuminates

like the sun 

bursting with light.

Golden Trumpet (Allamanda Cathartica)

I found this yellow flower

in an orchard place

and captured its 

beauty and grace.

I focused my lens and took

this macro shot.

The trick was a bit hard

but these attempts 

are not that bad.
