If I Had A Flower...

Alfred Tennyson

Beautiful orange and yellow hues on a green background. I love the way these colors “pop”! [Photo and design by S.E. Fairbanks]

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.

—Alfred Tennyson

Who are the people in your life who occupy your thoughts?
Who are the people who populate your colorful and unique garden of relationships?

• Parents and siblings?

• Spouses and children?

• Friends and acquaintances?

• Coworkers and classmates?

Even in black and white the contrasts bring about a unique beauty. [Photo and design by S.E. Fairbanks]

Black and white photography reveals a unique beauty that I really enjoy. But walking through a black and white flower garden just wouldn’t have the power to energize and inspire. We need color in our lives, people who inspire, challenge, and push us to be all that we are intended to be.

Do you have people like that in your life?
Are you one of those people for others?

Please comment below and share about a person who does this for you. No need to name them specifically, but tells how they bring color to your life.

And, I’ll give extra credit to whoever guesses most closely where I took this photo. :-)
