I was sort of distressed and depressed yesterday afternoon,
and one of my best ways of beating these feelings is to sit down
before my trusty computer and look at pretty pictures.
the evocativeness of these images will touch you too.
all from Vogue Living/Australia on Tumblr

needless to say, I love HOT pink, fuchsias of all colors.
looking through the glorious images available to all of us via the www
is wonderful, but not quite as wonderful as joining girlfriends for cocktails at about
5:30 in the afternoon.
the blues, worries, concerns and fears are temporarily swept away with
this most wonderful form of therapy.
Stunning. Thanks for the great pick me up! Looking at beauty is always inspiring for me too.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right - how could one possibly be the least bit depressed looking at such glorious colors and creations. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Marsha, There is nothing like beautiful flowers, whether they are in the garden or in a vase on my kitchen table, to bring a smile to my face.
