Just a thought – about this amazing world

“How can any wise, intelligent person not be amazed by the world?” Ashleigh Brilliant.

I agree with Ashleigh.

Despite all that is wrong and terrible and distasteful and even evil about the people in the world, the planet itself is truly wonderful, amazing, brilliant, astounding, beautiful…. I think you get the picture.

The beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis should make us stop and let it catch our breath. I have the delight to be living in an area where we have an abundance of birds that are resident in our garden. You can read more about them on Trevor’s Birding.

I also love taking photos of them. You can see more of my photos on my photo gallery here.

In recent times I have discovered an interest in growing orchids. Over the last three weeks one of my orchids has been flowering, so I’ve had the container gracing my office. It is so delicate and beautiful it often distracted me from my writing.

These are just a few of the ways I appreciate this beautiful world in which we live.

What in the world amazes you?
