Dear Friends,
Last weekend the monsoon rain came pouring down in north-east Thailand. My garden was drenched so the plants grow and expand their branches with bushy leaves. I walked around my garden to talk to all the trees and plants and thanking them for being very kind to me. I feel that they are looking after me, giving me shelter from the wind and storm.
I have a variety of Hibiscus, also known as Shoe flower or Chinese rose, planted along the fence and the footpath. They are very easy to grow and their flowers are vibrant. Sometimes they just surprise me with unexpected flowers. I think that they are reminding me that they are not just ordinary or insignificant plants. Whenever my energy becomes lower, I would walk around looking at the colorful Hibiscus. Their colors always cheer me up! Hibiscus can easily grow in a bucket or plant-pot.
This season, the sunset can be quite electrifying, with fantastic colors. This sunset color is supposed to give some sort of rooted, practical energy with a sense of determination, which is uplifting too. I hope you do find the color beneficial in some way.

Wishing you all lots of warm, energetic energy the whole week!
Steem on!
Great post! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward for more!
Thank you, its' very sweet of you to encourage a beginner in photography.
BTW, welcome to Steemit Family! Hope to see more of your work too.
your garden looks like a great place. i look forward to the days when i have such revitalizing area to be again. good of you to remind others to go to nature when we need an energy boost and to always be thankful
Thank you @alyasa. I am very lucky to have found myself in this spot in Thailand. It is simple, peaceful and slow-going. I hope that you'll have a chance to visit my garden with your child one day. I am trying to organise a place for camping and doing open fire cooking. Go back to nature life style for the weekend!
if i ever find myself in Thailand you can expect a message on steemit from me, haha. i miss being able to cook my meals on an open fire. i will eventually go back and live in the middle of nowhere
The weather is best in 'winter', from November till January. The summer months are too hot while the rainy season you cannot dry your clothes! Have a very good weekend. Cheers.
