colours in nature

Hey, good morning...although the day is flying away from me as it always does...and afternoon will be here sooner than I wished for.
Our girls were given 2 beautiful Sunflower's at the weekend by one extremely kind gentleman at our local Farmer's Market...
They have been sitting in a vase in our kitchen all week brightening up our days until this morning when their petals started drooping...
So...as I am on a cleaning spree this morning I decided their time was up...took the flowers out of their vase...and almost all the petals fell...
As I picked them up I was truly amazed at how nature can produce SUCH an incredible colour...so much that I knew I had to take a photo of it.
Do we appreciate every day what our World gives us?
Nature gives...we take...but do we really give back to nature?
I'm not so sure we do...


Thank you Nature for being SO beautiful...

Have a lovely day everyone...

Colour comforts...

every time I enter my wardrobe...I say to myself  "today I am going to choose another colour shirt,top,sweater...I have to step out of my comfort zone" and this year I have tried to a little more....I have bought bright pinks and light pinks, greens....BUT...I always go back to the navys and the greys.

So...as you can see from the above photo...I didn't step out this morning...I tried, I really did...I put on a top my Mum had given me a couple of years ago as a gift...I think I have worn it twice. Everytime I wear it, people comment on it and say it looks pretty....BUT every time I look in the mirror when I have it on...I feel washed out. It's a brown and pink, almost a burnt skin colour(if you can imagine that :-).

SO...I took it off. Found some blue, and more blue...and the scarf(summer scarf) Mum knitted for me which is perfect for these end of Summer mornings.

I am sorry to say...I am all about feeling comfortable, in my own skin and in the clothes I wear...

Do you have a Colour which Comforts you?
