"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are." ~Osho

This post made me happy!
These are some very happy flowers! Beautiful pics!
It seems Osho was somewhat channeling Francis of Assisi with that quote who himself was paraphrasing concepts attributed to Jesus of Nazareth who likely was paraphrasing some other wise source. Some sentiments are simply timeless and cross all artificial boundaries. Thank you Diane!
Yellow is such a cheerful colour! These photos make me smile. :)
such gorgeous petals! love those ridges!
Just the bright yellow color alone made me warm and happy!!!
Then I saw the tiny little upside-down heart in the bottom picture - perfect!!!
Clytie, You're so good at finding those hearts! :)
Wonderful words.
it's a happy post indeed, and you chose a happy picture too, yellow is indeed the color of happiness.
Love the quote. Yellow is the happiest color for me! :))
Such a nice way to celebrate life with such pics and such a quotation.
The flower reminds me of waffles... never seen such a flower in the past.
Happy, happy! How did I miss this post?! LOL (Ruffles potato chips must have copied these flower petals...)
I wonder what flowers these are with their crinkly petals. When I see yellow flowers, it reminds me of my mother who loved that color. She was a very sunshiny person.
