C'est La Vie

Living life to the fullest...

It blooms during dry season (summer)..
and it is still blooming up to now..

“Your living is determined not so much by what life
brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life;
not so much by what happens to you as by the way
your mind looks at what happens.”
Kahlil Gibran


A flower in the floodwater.... (archive 2009)


"Life can only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards."
Soren Kierkegaard


Such life..

Have A Wonderful Week Everyone !

Okay I was posting a comment when suddenly the power was interrupted. Anyway, I was saying that the flower in the floodwaters looks exactly my flower right now, maybe it doesn't like too much water. But a flower is a flower and they remain lovely forever.
