Abre los Ojos

Part Two: Nature XCVII

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,—
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.

Emily Dickinson

Sunday Walk

We are indeed lucky to live 5 minutes away from one of the world's most exciting cities and have nature, right on our door step.

Tulip Fields

Hyde Park, London in Spring

How time flies. Last Saturday, I laid down underneath thousands of blooming blossoms on a big tree, on a warm spring day, in Hyde Park, London. It was peaceful. Utterly beautiful too.

Photo taken using the camera on my Blackberry. Not too bad in quality, I thought.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars

Charles A. Beard:
All the lessons of history in four sentences:
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power.
The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small.
The bee fertilizes the flower it robs.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
