/////FLAMING BEAUTY///// by Clara Hinton

We can try to copy the beauty of nature, but we will never do it. All of the attempts we make will fall far short of the natural beauty found in a colorful flower in bloom. Why then do we often pass by such priceless treasures? Make it a point today to stop and not only smell the roses, but to admire each and every fold in the petals!

Wonderful world by eMMa_bOOm

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom, for me and you.
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world.
