Great quotes! And great photos, too.
Thelma, lovely quotes! My favorite is "Plants give us oxygen for the lungs and for the soul." How very true! Flowers and plants always have a way of making me smile and feel at peace. The energy I derive simply for observing plant life in nature is astounding. Believe it or not, whenever I feel really tired, I go out for a walk and look, really look at the beauty of Mother Nature. It's like charging my batteries! :)
