Hello Beautiful People
Hope Feeling good despite of all the obstacles because goodness is what faith brings to your heart no matter what :) Faith in yourself and faith in one who created you with promise that he will love you unconditionally throughout your life .
I think faith is " soul" of structure of our living.Without it we can fill it with stuff but no light of peace will be there for us end of the day .
Spring is around the corner and have begun to smile in my yard either .Lord is most powerful and most glorious energy of this universe and beyond this universe indeed.We ,including everything existing are part of his energy .Whatever shape we have taken reveals some of His characteristic indeed .And flowers are one of the most pretty of it !
Everything speaks to me about Him though but blooms convey me His Sweetness and delight .I feel as Lord is smiling upon us whenever i look at the flowers :)
So I am sharing some photos today hope you receive some more goodness from His Grace :)
i rarely want yellow around me but when it comes to flowers it proves most pretty and joyous ,don't you agree :)
tiger rose looks happy to survive heat here as i can see he has started to grow many blooms at a time ,we had to wait two springs for it's persistence and thrive
okay my knowledge about the flowers ends soon and here ,so enjoy the new little beauty in my yard for the first time ,guesses are warmly well come though
first time in yard this one too ,this is astonishing and mesmerizing how Creator combines these cheerful colors in most beautiful way ,Nature is DIVINE guide and i wish we don't stop learning from it to make our life balanced and peaceful
my younger son captured this during sunlight time right before leaving for tuition center ,i asked him to overshadow the plant for better result as he returns in late evening since he goes to gym from there .his phone takes better images than mine
this one is taken when we visited his younger brother who lives in house provided by government since few years ,it was our first visit to them in new residence ,i liked the small lawn there
on Sunday hubby offered me motorbike trip to Sukkur city which is 25 km away from our city ,we left for it 2:40 afternoon after having lunch with kids who are no longer interested in joining us and feel happier while playing on screens or watching videos ,there exams are close (in May) so they study as well (hopefully) i took three photos when we reached in Sukkur park that's name i could not find ..we did not go inside as it was sun was tough and we were in hurry as after bit wander we wanted to go market for shopping as wedding of one of my sister in laws' only son is approaching (in March)
Pakistan's second largest flag was planted in this park (300 ft high) ,i captured it to save in memories
few people were siting and some were wandering despite of sun which is good because weather takes dramatic turn in first week of May here and heat attacks abruptly to blow our mind ,sun does not seem the we looked at few weeks ago smilingly (though i still dare to try it :)
Hubby drove to the old bridges of British era which i find fascinating always ,bridges make people ans sides meet and this is why i feel positive energy coming from them :) sky and water both were serene there except sound of occasional vehicle passing by on road behind us
famous scissor bridge of Sukkur ,we could go there as hubby offered but when i did time calculation we could have be late if did so ,so after spending some time on river bank and little walk in park there we returned to the city market , breeze was pleasant crispy and i liked it so much .
i know hat is horribly blurred ,i did not notice it will look that bad when enlarge ,but i wanted to share this tea set that we bought from Market ,it is nicer than it looks here i mean if it does appear ,on left are older four cups with hubby's framed photo , it was tough to hold it while riding motor bike but we reached safely and without falling it on the way (by the grace of Lord)
That is for now dear friends ,now when days are extending i wish to post more ,see if i can .
Keep being kind to yourself and all around you ,stay ,safe ,healthy and happy and yes Positive always!
God Bless You All!
Hi Baili - Nice pictures as always. I think that I like flowers of every color imaginable . we do not have flowers popping up here as we have about half a meter of snow on the ground :)
ReplyDeleteI can tell that is a very nice tea set.
Have a great week!
either i love flowers no matter what color they have ,they simply attracts my attention and connect me to One who is PERFECTIONIST in his each art
Deletei wish you warm days ahead with lots of delightful flowers
your words are sweet and uplifting dear Laurie
ReplyDeletei never bought a tea set before will you believe it ,when i got married mom gifted me what she had in her huge box ,she was not in position to buy me new crockery sets a including tea set
it was my wish to have one but fine one not ordinary so i kept delaying as here tea mugs were more popular even for presenting before guests so i thought i will buy one when it will speak to me when i will look at it but i could not find one that existed in my mind ,not in Islamabad nor in Karachi so when that day we went to shop for wedding upcoming i bought it inevitably ,it is not of finest quality but is okay and it is fine now
Your garden blooms have such beautiful smiling faces. What a great ride on the motorcycle. It must be refreshing to have the wind on your face. You were brave to carry the tea set back home whilst riding too. Glad it survived the trip. I hope you enjoy many cups of tea from that set and it will bring you smiles as you remember its journey.
ReplyDeleteunlike you i have not privilege to ride bicycle here dear Marie and it is one my biggest wish i could do so ,i don't know if i will be able to fulfill my wish in remaining life ,so i try to take advantage of every single opportunity i find for motorbike ride ,it makes me feel better lot better than car ride or van ride (hope it is not embarrassing to feel this way in this part of age as fifty is considered old specially for ladies here )
Deletehubby used to take all of us on motorbike ride when kids were little but now they are grown and can't fit at once on it ,neither they like to accompany us in our family visits or journeys like this so we enjoy such trips specially me and hubby try to take me often thankfully
yes it was challenging to hold tea set while riding on motorbike though road was great thankfully ,hubby asked me many times to be assure if i can do this and i said yes so we bought it we could have postpone it but you know sometimes we enjoy small adventurers that include harmless risks :)
what a coincidence that hubby had friends as guest today and my tea set served for the first time :)
Oh, that Tiger Rose is gorgeous! I've never seen one before!
ReplyDeleteDear Debra hubby borrowed it from his office (college) since his collage has huge lawn and three gardeners to look after it .they export lots of new seasonal plants in spring. Hubby borrow if it is not available in local nursery though he gives small share of money if plants are new many .some of them cannot go through extreme heat but some survive after hard struggle like this one :)
DeleteThank you for the lovely flower photos. It's a nice change of pace from the snow and ice I see outside of my window right now.
ReplyDeleteOh you are sooo well come dear Kathy !
DeleteI wish I can fly to you and drop bouquet by your door :)
Lovely flowers, thanks for sharing your outing and the tea set looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that your faith keeps you going and keeps your relationship with our world.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely thing to say dear Red :)
Deleteyes if someone succeeded to pull away faith from me ,i won't last for a while i think ,it is my savior indeed!
My goodness Baili, you really get out and about on that motorbike! I can't imagine carrying a dinner set home on a bike! very tricky - you did well to get it home undamaged. I have just bought a dinner set with some vouchers I save through our supermarket but we won't use them unless we have visitors/special occasions. Your flowers are so lovely, some look like snap dragons to me but whatever they are, it's lovely to see all that colour - it's very grey here, no flowers in the garden and we have snow. Take care - Betty x
ReplyDeletenot dinner set dear Betty ,it would be bigger and hard to handle during motorbike ride ,we have bought dinner set almost year ago i think ,i have shared images when it was packed and my cabinets had not enough space for it ,though we renovated kitchen and now it is safe in kitchen
Deletei so enjoyed the touch of fear and care that i felt while holding tea set during riding motorbike lol
it was challenging yet amusing experience ,it went good by the grace of God :)
I have a good time seeing the sights of your country. I especially like the tiger rose. It is unique.
ReplyDeleteoh thank you dear Emma ,i am glad you liked flower photos ,yes tiger rose is new to eyes for me either ,it seems interesting scientific blend i guess i mean feels man altered somehow
DeleteI can smell your beautiful flowers from here!. These flowers bring peaceful and calmness. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe flag pole is very tall, so the flag can wave powerfully.
Love your teaset.
Stay safe!
whenever it is snow in parts of land where all my blogging friend live ,my heart long for early spring so i can sprinkle some colors to your eyes dear Evi ,i am so glad i can do so :)
Deleteyes flag pool is 300 feet higher than ground and is second tallest flag of Pakistan :)
Hello Baili, it was lovely seeing all of your photographs here.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are all gorgeous, and what wonderful colours.
You had such a nice outing, and I think your tea set looks very nice.
Have a good weekend.
Stay safe and well.
All the best Jan
i feel embarrassed when found image of tea set that blurred dear Jan but i pasted it inevitably as my time for posting was ending
Deletebetter luck next time hopefully
I love your flowers! That tiger rose is gorgeous! Loving all your photos! So happy no cups broke! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeletethank you dear Stacy
Deleteflowers fill our days with cheerfulness and delight during spring season ,thankfully i can see them smiling before my eyes :)
yes this was grace of lord that we reached without facing any mishap regarding tea set ,it was first attempt to take such risk and i am happy it went successful :)
Your flowers are a delightful display of hope, spring and new growth. They uplift my spirits.
ReplyDeleteso true about everything dear Cheri
Deleteplants ,trees and flowers display the circle and mystery of life so beautifully and PERFECTLY , life is renewed with new promises and hopes every new spring ,that view takes away the sorrows of autumn who makes some really sensitive heart feel bit sad it :)
Flowers are beautiful, there is something brilliant about yellow flowers they seem to brighten up the garden. That rose is specular. Pleased you made it home with your tea set..well done.
ReplyDeletethis is why i find sunflowers most DELIGHTFUL dear Margaret ,they just enlighten my heart so deep :)
DeleteWhat a happy post Baili! :) I LOVE all of the sunlight and the longer days lately...though it's still a bit too cold for my bones! Your flowers are so beautiful! I love that rose, and I think that yellow is a colour that I long for after a winter of white and gray!
ReplyDeletewishing you early spring and warm days dear Rain
Deleteoh yes Yellow specially in flowers is most spectacular indeed :)
I enjoyed this post, Baili! Your flowers are lovely, and that tiger rose is gorgeous. I've never seen one like it before. I'm glad that you had a chance to get out on the motorbike to Sukkur. I'd be terrified to ride on a motorbike ~ You are much braver than I am! Your boys sound so normal, LOL. Kids certainly do love their phones, screens, and videos. Not that I should talk! Have a great week, my friend! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeletei wonder from where has this tiger rose has come to in my country as all of you are seeing it for the first time ?
Deletemay be eastern part of land like Japan or China ,can't be certain about it
hm...brave ,no may be ,but yes when it comes to follow my heart once i am certain my wish is harmless to anyone ,i do it mindlessly lol
yes this is surprising how fondness changes with age ,life is playing before my eyes like reel ,i am seeing how i must have changed in many manners slowly and unknowingly with time :)
Your posts always make me smile, Baili! And I really enjoy when you share photos. That tiger rose is gorgeous. I've never seen that before!
ReplyDeletethank you for encouragement dear Martha
DeleteYour flowers are wonderful, Baili, and certainly cheered me on a cold winter's day. We are getting more snow over the next 2 days and there will be no spring blooms for some time yet. The yellow and orange blooms (marigolds?) and especially that tiger rose were beautiful! How nice that you and your husband took a motorbike trip together and that you were able to bring home that lovely tea set with no breakage, a great balancing act on your part.
ReplyDelete
Deletehope snow gives you break and sun smiles on the sky to cheer you up dear Dorothy :)
yes Marigold ,there are so many forms of marigold here in my part of land ,specially we used to grow many of them in mom's house
we enjoyed this trip so much ,haha may be my yoga worked for me
Não podemos perder a fé porque sem ela estaremos perdidos. Gostei da sua reflexão. Amei as fotografias que nos mostram como a Natureza está sempre a maravilhar-nos...
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana com muita saúde.
Um beijo.
i agree Faith not just complete us by revealing the unseen world around us but also bring us eternal peace :)
ReplyDeleteBaili your flowers from your garden are beautiful. Since it is winter here and my garden is under several inches of snow (and more on the way)...it is a delight to visit your lovely countryside. Hubby and I ride a motorcycle also when the weather is fit. Take care dear one. God bless!
ReplyDeletei love snowfall but occasional one dear Debbie ,it seems hard to face long lasting harsh winters to me ,yet i know where ever we born and grow we learn to not just survive but love our weathers as here after long resentment with local extreme summers (30 years) i have started to realize how i like summers that help me to think better unlike winters that seems to jam my brain lol
Deletethis is nice you too like motorcycle ride :)
Hi Dear Baili, It is a pleasure to be related to you through our souls. His grace created all of us and we are all related. I enjoyed all your photos. Flowers are beautiful! I love the way you put into words, "Faith in yourself and faith in one who created you with promise that he will love you unconditionally throughout your life" So true and so wonderful! Thank you, as always, for sharing your blog and your kind comments on mine. John
ReplyDeletei feel so tiny and helpless before your kindness dear John ,you are so blessed and have wonderful gift to comfort souls of all around you including us your blogging friend ,thank you for being so kind and responding to my simple words with such affection !
Deleteyes i do believe that God the Creator has created us to love each other because Love is base of everything including life and human beings ,this is the only tool to fix everything i believe even HUMANITY that seems torn today because of our stupid selfishness ,we have forgot that we are one body of humanity and to save and keep it healthy we have to take care for others than ourselves because it is PROMISE OF CREATOR THAT ONCE WE CARE FOR HIS CREATURES HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US ,simple formula to please our Creator indeed i think
Beautiful blooms in the photos - i can't wait for spring here in the mountains which will take longer to arrive. And i had to smile about your sons not wanting to go with you as they get older. That happened to me and probably everyone, lol. Even now my grandkids are getting to be like that. Why would they want to go with us when screen time would be more fun. lol. Wow you did good getting your tea set home while on a motorbike. In a way - i love that my kids found their own fun away from us because that gave us more time to have our own type of fun that would bore them, like nature stuff, antique shopping ... Hope your week is wonderful for you. YOu look so pretty in that phtograph.
ReplyDeletei just want to send to lots of sunlight and blooms right a way dear Sandy ,i really wish if there was a way
Deletewhen i was growing up t.v ,radio and books were ways to entertain and yet we would want stay home instead of joining mother in family gatherings
now children have lot more to keep busy and have fun along with learning of course and they don't want to join parents anymore ,may be this is need and beauty of life :)
i am living quite busy life as house wife now and still waiting for times when i can have more time for myself ,that will let me do all i want to do eagerly now
yes you will have lots of time and it won't be long - amazing to me how fast the years my kids needed more of me have flown ... and three out of four sons now live in different states - pacific northwest states...where i am down in southern California. One son still lives about 40 minutes away with one grandson.
Deletei had that feel ,a self pity kind of feel that fear to be left alone whenever i thought about time when kids will grow enough and will not need me anymore ,but thank goodness that that phase passed long ago and now i am eagerly looking for time when i will have more time for my self once kids are settled ,this is nice that everything seems easier when we correct our way of thinking
Deleteahh yes.. You will love it. And yes - the idea of change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change. (I think this was a Wayne Dyer quote)
DeleteNo wonder everyone loves flowers - they have such power to gladden the heart.

The flowers in your garden are very beautiful, especially tiger rose is amazingly beautiful and fresh.
ReplyDeleteYour story with your husband on a motorbike around the city to see the bridge .. take a walk in the park, shop at the market, spend time together is really happy and romantic ..
I am glad to hear that.
Take care of yourself .. stay healthy, stay safe ..
Have a nice week
