"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers."-----Sir Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali writer (1861-1941).

"Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem"

-----Lytton

"A dozen roses is a choir; A single rose is a soloist."

We had been that day up on the hill where my daughter lives, and the weather was wonderful and spectacular. When the weather in Ireland is warm and beautiful it is the most beautiful day in the world. These flower photos were taken there in the yard above the sea on that balmy day. They bring back memories of the visit there and always will. The view from there is impressive looking out to the sea beyond the beach. Here are the flowers from the hill.

Beautiful sun-faced daisies turn their blossoms to the sky.

"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures."-----Diane Arbus

I call these: sun daisies as they open fully to the sun.

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment."

-----Georgia O'Keefe

"Flowers are words which even a baby can understand."

-----Arthur C . Coxe
