Coloring My Valentine’s Day…

Okay… I won’t say I was alone this valentine’s day (even if I was alone and trying to chill out at home working as usual). Why? Because I did get ready to move out, thought of shooting some crazy pics on this valentine’s around and wonder how cupid bow and arrow working today. Anyway, it didn’t happen the way I thought. Couldn’t even step out till it was 4 pm :( . And the moment I stepped out, a kitchen garden just opposite to my home caught my attention. I was thinking of taking some flower pics for a long time.. And just thought of starting the day (though it ended here only) with flowers only. I tried to enter that unknown home and met an oldy uncle right on the gate. Asked him if I could take some pics of their kitch garden and he was very pleased to hear about my interest in his garden. He showed me the way to the garden and I started exloring and shooting. Ohh ya.. the old (but B’ful) aunty gave me two eclairs toffees complementing me that I was looking B’ful in short white skirt and off colored top and pink stoll.. LOL.. It made my day (or evening whatever).. Ok.. ok.. enough of the story.. Let’s see some of the pics I shot.. And.. Happy valentine’s day to me.. Oh.. to everybody too.

The flower is the poetry of reproduction.  It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.  ~Jean Giraudoux

Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul.  ~The Koran

Can we conceive what humanity would be if it did not know the flowers?  ~Maurice Maeterlinck

A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions – so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.  ~Adabella Radici

The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.  ~Gertrude S. Wister

Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words.  They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.  ~Lydia M. Child

There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation’s braggart lords.  ~John Muir

And this is what I bought for my room.

 

And this pic I found so soothing…
