“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.”
― St. Therese of Lisieux, “The Little Flower”
"When you talk to me, I smell violets.” - L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Windy Poplars
“I love tulips better than any other spring flower; they are the embodiment of alert cheerfulness and tidy grace…Their faint, delicate scent is refinement itself; and is there anything in the world more charming than the sprightly way they hold up their little faces to the sun. I have heard them called bold and flaunting, but to me they seem modest grace itself, only always on the alert to enjoy life as much as they can…” ― Elizabeth von Arnim
Something happens to my heart when I am here — especially when the tulips are blooming!
“I'm like a tree. My leaves might change color, but my roots are the same.” - Rose Namajunas

"Let me be light as a feather — strong, with purpose, yet light at heart; able to bend, and, tho I might become frayed, able to pull myself together again." - Anita Sams
Heavy as a stone or light as a feather: I love the gravity of the blocks of battered slippers juxtaposed with the ethereal tutu. #2019dogwood52 #dogwood52 #dogwoodweek18
“Just as Renaissance artists provided narratives for the era they lived in, so do I. I'm always looking beyond the surface. I've done that ever since I first picked up a camera.” - David LaChapelle
