\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6 some people go through life only looking at the big\npicture. They rush past all the finer details that make this world such an\nintriguing and wonderful place. So this week\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s message is a real \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cstop and\nsmell the roses\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d kind of message ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks ago I tore an ankle ligament on a trail\nand it has truly slowed me down. Unable to take my normal weekly trail\nadventure, I decided yesterday to limp my way through a flower garden here in\nLakeland. I enjoy going there every few months anyway to check out what might\nbe blooming but this weekend, my hand was forced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around me there was several photographers, doing shoots of\npeople and using the gardens only as a prop. They were doing portraits shots,\nfamily shots, and one seemed to doing kind of model shoot. The inner me was\nshaking my head at their failing to take in the beauty of what they were\nstanding in. Nature is more than a splash of color in a photograph or a\nbackdrop to a pretty face \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took myself in the opposite direction, delving into the\nfine details and soaking in the sheer beauty of each little droplet of moisture\nthat reflected the vibrancy of the ecosystem around it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time I hobbled back to my car, I felt at one with\nnature and all the richer for the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you like this little collection and that they help\nbrighten your week a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
