Images For the Last Week of November

I am very sure this flower below is African daisy, because I saw it on Betchai's blog, and though the colors are different, the shape and the petals are the same.

Watch Me Grow


I saw this flower on the church's ground where my nephew goes to school. There are many colors of this African daisy around the building, and they come in white, yellow, and deep orange. Today, I will just post this white African daisy.

Gracefully Grew


Every day when I come to pick up my nephew, I snap more pictures of this flower. It's so graceful, beautiful, and very enticing. I could not just walk by without admiring this flower.

Closer to See


This African daisy flower is growing very low to the ground, underneath some big tree and bushes. The little sun it receives helping it grows quite nice.

I think someone didn't like me taking pictures of this flower so much that they decided to put a stop to it, and yanked all the flowers out the week after.

I Am Beautiful

If I could find this African daisy next year, I will definitely grow these flowers in my yard. Seeing them bloom so beautifully during the late months of Fall convinces me to at least try.

Light Features

I saw these shadows of the lights on the outside of some building, and their shapes were just very captivating to see. It's hard for me to pass by without taking the pictures.

The artist vocation is to send light into the human heart.

Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.

These are just a few of my moon pictures collection. The moon looks much better in real life since my camera didn't bring it justice.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Littlest Pond

These beautiful flowers lived in the tiniest little pond in front of Ocean and Sea Pet Shop. Though the pond was man made, it still added so much charm to the entrance, and enticed curiosity for customers to stop by.

I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
~Nick Lowe

Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond, many ponds make a lake, and many lakes make an ocean.
~Percy Ross

Empire Mixed Flowers

For today Ruby Tuesday, I'm featuring my red summer empire flower. This flower comes in many different colors, and it is continuously blooming throughout the summer, way into early winter also.

I had this flower in red, deep purple, pink, and white. When it is dried, I broke it off, and another branch would grow.

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
~Lao Tzu

As we grow better, we meet better people.
~Elbert Hubbard

If growing up is the process of creating ideas and dreams about what life should be, then maturity is letting go again.

Another Online Shopping Trip

Have you ever shopped at Lou Lou's Corner? It's a website to shop for the entire family. I know I'm pushing it with my online shopping endeavors, but in just two days we will be celebrating Thanksgiving, and before we know it, Christmas is knocking at the door.

We have two little kids in the family, under the age of three, and by chance I saw these jellycat stuffed animals that I couldn't resist. I didn't grow up with toys so it seemed that I always tried to make it up by getting them for all the kids in the family, and not just mine.

Once I am in the mood for shopping, I tend to get off track easily. My fingers go on clicking to different section of this website called barefoot dreams, where they feature cozy, soft, and luxurious blankets for infants, toddlers, as well as for the entire family.

As if this is not enough, I wander over to the appaman department to look at kids' clothes, and found some of the clothes on the red tag sales. Lucky for me, I didn't know my nieces and nephews' sizes, so I just stick my stuffed animals purchase.

Clear Bowl Patterns

This series is the last of my Thrift Store trip adventure. Yes, I was worried about the shop workers asking me to stop re-organizing their items for shadows or stop taking pictures all together, but I took my chances. I just couldn't pass up this opportunity.

Check Out Dogged Health if You Have a Question

I haven't met too many people who didn't like dogs; only two out of 10 would prefer not to have a pet, because their life styles are not suitable to have a canine companion.

I grew up with two dogs in the house, and have experienced their loyalty, loving, and protective manners. After having my own children and was constantly under pressure to get a puppy from them, we had quite a few dogs throughout the years.


Having a dog comes with responsibilities just as having children, and the number one priority is our dog health. When we had Milo, I enrolled him in a health insurance plan with his Vet, and gave him whatever he needed, from flea collar, to heart worm pills, to ear infection drops. I made sure that Milo is cared for, since our canine health in general would bring enjoyment to all of us for a long time.

Milo was no longer with us, and there are talked in the house about getting a new four legged friend. Yes, the first thing comes to my mind is health issues. On this website Dogged Health, I found so many useful articles to read and learn. All the articles are written by Vets, and certified trainers, which cover all area of health problems or symptoms.

If things work out and we happen to get a couple dogs, this website is where I will turn to when I need some information.

Images For the Third Week of November

Can you guess what these fuzz balls are? They were wild flowers at one time at the beginning of Fall. Now, these were what they look like.

A Bunch


We often forget to take into account that all flowers are beautiful when they were blooming, but if you notice, they are also pretty at the end of their lives.

Three of a Kind


Take time to pay attention to every little thing in nature, they worth a second look, even when they are at their last stage.

Shining in the Sun


When the sun hits these fuzzy balls at the right angle, they shimmer; look soft, and very pretty.

One Full Branch


If you haven't figure what these fuzz balls once were, then take a look below! I think you will be surprised to see what they were.


Yes, they were New England Asters! Have a great day..
