I figure this is a wonderful gift we get most days - a brilliant way to start and finish our days.

Tiger lillies are one of my favourites, but I've never had any luck growing them. Here in Brisbane you're right - not a lot is flowering, except my orchid which has a dozen flower spikes this year.

It is always there in the rising and setting of the sun, in the birds flying overhead, even in blades of grass. When we take the time to notice it does indeed calm the mind and spirit and remind us to look, listen and be grateful daily. Thank you for the post and the glorious reminder that life offers much to celebrate. Your post captures the majesty of the beauty that surrounds us daily.

I've made a habit of looking around my yard to see what's blooming, etc. every day before I go back into the house.
