Hibiscus and Bird of Paradise have awesome colors. Great quotes by Czechmihaly and Bacon.
Ain't no shame in my game, I may lose the fight but I'll go down knowing wrong from right.
so true in learning to live without shame...accepting ourselves and living that out loud...

I am still pondering that last quote. I guess the response would be to act unpredictably? Ugh!
Thanks, you wonderful friends!
Gorgeous photos - though the shoes of the beauty in yellow made my eyes water. And some thought provoking quotes. Thank you.
They are astounding, beauty in all of them.
Beautiful shots!
Eliot's quote is quite thoughtful particularly.
The bird of paradise pics were wonderful!
Being a lover of quotes I always enjoy the ones I read here, and the photos are always awesome. I was looking at that young lady in the high heels. I can't believe that I once wore shoes very similar to those. I remember a five inch green satin shoe with a very pointed toe, I spent so much money on them but looking back the memory is enough to make me smile. I didn't earn that much in the first place, but could not resist and they were a treasured part of my wardrobe. Goodness, these days I would continuously fall out of them and probably land in the ER :) Have a wonderful week my friend.
The crane is just a sprouting Bird of Paradise. My body prefers flip-flops these days. Amazing two-toned hibiscus, along with the very Christian car.
