LOVE at first sight ..

                            

First Love,

or Love at first sight?

Would it matter whatsoever?

And would it be all right?

Love matters to one who knows its value,

Love uplifts only the heart that is warm and alive,

Do not fear of love,

Or else love would be out of sight.

     Love is a special feeling. Everybody should have a touch of love, at least from the first moment we are borne into this world, the love of our father and mother. Although love can be interpreted in various ways, it is interesting to know that in scientific dimension, "Love is the one thing that we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space." , said Amelia Brand, 'Interstellar'.

So sweet little "Bleeding Heart"

     

O my sweety pink Bleeding Heart

Do not shed a tear when we are to depart

'Cause whenever we are far from each other

It is the time we know

who and what is to remember.

              Bleeding Heart is one of my most favourite flower. First knowing it from my friend's photograph, taking her pic in the U.S.A. Realising this flower is also found in Europe, I never give up looking for it whenever I visit Britain. Then I succeeded in 2014 when I stayed at Ambleside and visiting a flower farm.

Jik Setthi .. Lively pretty fluffy ..

Here are the blossoms

So sweet and gentle

Spread the white wings

Fluffy and lively

As if they're gonna fly

Upon to the sky

       This is one of extraordinary flowers rarely seen. Jik Setthi. It blooms only once a year, around February or March. Its sweet scent attracts so many bees and insects to flying around to get the juicy nectar.

The Beauty from Bagan

กุหลาบงามจากต่างแดน 

มิเหมือนแม้นกุหลาบใด

กลีบงามเจิดจ้าสดใส

ยากจะมีบุปผาใดเทียบเทียม

               When I took this picture, I remember the feeling of being surprise. This flower is named "The rose of Bagan" but the look of it doesn't resemble ordinary rose. Bagan is the name of a province in Myanmar. However, it is a very lovely flower, blooming on the big bush of its tree. And its flower colour is so vividly orange red.
