    True. It just requires open eyes, hearts and minds to see it.

    A baby pineapple? And yet the leaves don't look right; more like a Staghorn Fern. Marvelous indeed!

      My knowledge of this pretty prickly plant is non existent. We used to call ones like it ‘nettles’ when we were children, and woe betide us if we ever fell on one. It was very painful!

    I agree, Denise. I remember getting excited as a child when I learned to touch without pricking the fingers. Oh happy days!

    So very true the treats we can find right in front of us. I find that the older I get, the more I appreciate that. Happy Tuesday and Hugs! RO

    I'm having a little trouble commenting on my favorite blogs lately for some reason, so if my comment comes through more than once, then that is why!
    I wanted to say how pretty this photo is and how much I like the quote. Hopefully at least one of my comments goes through!

    Hi Denise,
    Super words and image of what would appear to be a very prickly encounter.
    All the best, John
