Birds

"If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes."
~Charles Lindbergh~

Floral Beauty

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.” 

~William Shakespeare~

Botanical Garden

I know not which I love the most, Nor which the comeliest shows, The timid, bashful violet Or the royal-hearted rose, The pansy in purple dress, The pink with cheek of red, or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs like a bashful maid her head.
~Phoebe Cary~

Pink Perfection

"The very Pink of Perfection"
~Oliver Goldsmith~

Ferns

I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sally And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley.
~Tennyson~

Butterflies

The butterfly counts not months but moments,
 and has time enough.
~Rabindranath Tagore~
