Someone is happy somewhere.
Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life ~ Aurelius
Monday Message
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful ~Albert Schweitzer
Many are travelers.
Many are believers.
Still,
Buy and support small vendors,
outside temples, churches or any other religious places.
It’s not about the belief but
helping hard working individuals,
to live with dignity.
-Rupali
Friday: Flower decoration
The earliest known flower arranging dates back to ancient Egypt. Egyptians were decorating with flowers as early as 2,500 BCE. They regularly placed cut flowers in vases, and highly stylized arrangements were used during burials, for processions, and simply as table decorations. Illustrations of arranged flowers have been found on Egyptian carved stone reliefs and painted wall decorations.
Egyptian wall paintings depicting roses have been found in tombs dating from the fifth century B.C. to Cleopatra’s time.
These images of floral decorations were taken during my visit to Keukenhof a couple of years ago. Keukenhof, the best day out among the flowers! Over 7 million bulbs bloom in the spring, with a total of 800 varieties of tulips. A unique, unforgettable experience!
Besides the spacious 32 hectares of flowers one can enjoy the spectacular flower shows, surprising inspirational gardens, unique art and wonderful events.
Keukenhof is the international and independent showcase for the Dutch floricultural sector, with a special emphasis on flower bulbs. In the space of eight weeks Keukenhof shows what the Dutch floricultural sector has to offer. The park’s focus is on the 7 million spring-flowering bulbs, which allow the 100 participating companies to show their living catalogue. 500 flower growers present an enormous variety of cut flowers and pot plants at the over 20 flower shows.Keukenhof is the international and independent showcase for the Dutch floricultural sector, with a special emphasis on flower bulbs.

I was mesmerized by this. It took me some time to come to my senses. Hope you like it too.
Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everthing to do with the way you see them. ~Elliott Erwitt
