In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer

Those who need us give us a hold upon life.
Marie Dubsky, Freifrau von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830–1916)

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Marcel Proust

Gorgeous photos and I love the quotes! I think I need rekindling.

I definitely need rekindling too. I like what some one else commented - I'd like to run through a field of these flowers.

Those photos are stunning - flowers make me instantly happy as your quotes state - a beautiful post today :)

Glad you like them....they are a happy color aren't they. :)

Hey Deb, can we agree that the 50 mm does miracles when it comes to bokeh? :) I love the first shot!

Yes we can agree - good call for me to buy one. I love the first shot too - and I realized that I should really only post the shots I love rather than add just okay ones. Learning always learning.

Yes, keep learning! I am proud of you Deb :)

Aw.that's such a nice thing for you to say Dan. It means a lot to me. :)

The vibrant colors of those flowers are stunning. That is a ripe field for sky wondering.

Sky wondering. Yes. Love that.

Very nice photos @countrygirl, I love the quotes you chose to go with your photos too :)

Thank you kindly @still-observer. :)

Beautiful flowers displayed by wonderful photography! What type of flowers are these they kinda look like carnations?

Carnations!! ding ding ding....baby carnations. I love them.

Wohoo! Thanks Deb! I love them also!

What beautiful buds. I want to run through them.

They do kind of look like wildflowers - and a field would be fun to run through.

Awesome shots ! I like last quote

Thanks @ashwinrajt. Marcel Proust - yes, a very good quote.

I'm grateful to my true friend not the ones who act nicely with me and act devlish behind my back.

Sweet, sweet bokeh on the top one especially!

Sweet bokeh is always a surprise. Altho I aim for it, I don't know until I see it in LR.

First picture is wonderful my friend, I love it!!!

Thank you for sharing and have a nice day

Glad you love it @mnallica. Hope your day was wonderful :)

How very lovely! Congratulations on this wonderful take of spring!

Thank you very much :)

What I wouldn't give to walk through a field of flowers like this....

I have a favorite flower that grows on the side of the road -they're just really wildflowers (aka weeds hahaha) but they are so vibrant! a deep shade of purple... and they're unusual.... they grow up on a stalk.

they kinda look like statice??? but they're more wild looking.

these remind me of those :)

I love statice - they are so papery and last forever in a bouquet. The flowers in the photo are baby carnation buds. The photo is reminiscent of a meadow though - yes, I see it. ;)

hehehehe yes!!! and the purple is the most vibrant color purple!!!! and papery!!! that is exactly the word I was looking for. I was thinking... lacy? curly? i don't know. and i just didn't say more. but PAPERY. that was the word lol
