My garden with many flowers inspired me.This time the roses, phlox, dalias and gladiolus are blooming.

These are all beautiful. Life itself inspires. I step on my front porch and see momma and poppa bluebird feeding their young and this is about the 4th or 5th set this summer. I look across the road in the pasture and see the beautiful horse and donkey running and kicking up their hills. God has given us so much beauty. My Grandmother use to say," beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ea. person sees things different, what some think are beautiful others may not see beauty in it. I think most of my inspiration comes from children not just my Great Grands but also their friends. /Lillian AKA lbrow

Your garden is beautiful. My favorite is the winking sunflower. ;)

Pretty garden. From where I come from, we name the first flower by "playera" or "Buenas tardes" (Good afternoon). The variety also comes in white and light pink.

Inspiration comes from anywhere; all one has to do is be open to the possibilities. It's really in all we see, think, do, make and understand. It can comes in a simple smile, or the look of surprise in a new discovery. A child's first step or words. As you are showing here, nature is God's way of inspiring, He is all around in the air, sky, clouds, animals, plants...all things being unique and wonderful in His eye. His is the kindness shown when holding open a door, helping someone who has fallen or dropped something, drying a tear, sometimes just being there. He is inspiration in the gentlest breeze that touches our face...an angel's kiss or His mighty fingertips or even a touch from a deceased loved one. One just sometimes needs to stand still and simply absorb...

My inspiration comes from my 93 acres of heaven. Every morning I can see my cattle, chickens, cats, and 1 happy dog. I love my lilacs in the spring, I made a lap quilt for my Mom a few years ago from the pictures of my lilacs. Everyday I can find something to find pure joy in.From the Purple Martins that come to stay for a few months, to the covey of quill that wander around the pastures, to the bluebirds, cardinals, bluejays, ect, ect. I love my flowers, from iris's, daffodils, tulips, roses. My herb garden. I get my inspiration from life. Hugs..Carol

Lovely garden, Christine...every day brings inspirations...just waking up to a new day and embracing everything it has to offer...

Wouldn't that bottom picture of a sunflower be fabulous digitized to go under a letter or monogram?! Thanks for showing us.

When I used to spend a lot of time "colorizing" in my garden, I would take a daylily bloom and walk it around the yard to find something copasetic to plant it beside (can move daylilies in bloom). The same idea as auditioning threads for a stitchout in sunlight.
