Thank you, God, for flowers!

We drove by these amazing beauties every day of our stay in South Carolina.  I couldn't help taking a load of pictures.  Please enjoy!

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils; (sunflowers :o)

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margins of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed - and gazed - but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye,

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills;

And dances with the daffodils (sunflowers :o)

                   

 Poem by William Wordsworth

(Thank you, Mr. Wordsworth, for such a beautiful sentiment. Thank you for reminding me there is beauty in this troubled world.)
