Untouched Nature and the Sound of Silence [peaceful video]

Giulia
Coming from pxleyes.com, this showcase was selected by me, and put together in this wonderful video by my friend Julien. He also picked the wonderful music. All in all, this is a video for the soul.
Take some time to listen to the music, breath deeply, look at the breath-taking wonders of nature, relax and enjoy!

Beautiful Picture of Ladybug in the Morning Dew [picture and quotes]

Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been. – Samuel Daniel

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Brave Flower in the Rain [beautiful gif animation and quotes]

Giulia
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain…

 

There’s always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down.

Don Delillo

A crown is merely a hat that lets the rain in.

Frederick The Great

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Best Wishes for My Friends in Spring [beautiful bird picture]

Giulia
I won’t write any poems or special quotes…I just want to thank all my friends for sticking around and being nice to me. The spring is coming here and the sun shines again… So I’m sending my best wishes, a beautiful delicate bird picture and many smiles.

Will you be my Valentine? [beautiful poem and image]

Giulia
Words can tell what hearts divine
This most romantic time of year:
So will you be my Valentine?
I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
Till golden moon meets midnight drear.
For words can tell what hearts divine

When air’s perfume and water’s wine,
And cupids hover at one’s ear:
So will you be my Valentine?

And do we feelings dare define
In phrases adamant and clear?
For words can tell what hearts divine,

And souls can step across a line
On days when angels wait to cheer:
So will you be my Valentine?
Ah, love! Let love this one day shine
On fancies lush and passions sheer!
For words can tell what hearts divine:
So will you be my Valentine?

Spectacular Sunrise through the Fog [beautiful photography]

Giulia
Morning is the best of all times in the garden. The sun is not yet hot. Sweet vapors rise from the earth.
Night dew clings to the soil and makes plants glisten.
Birds call to one another. Bees are already at work.
