Miracles

October 4, 2010 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

There are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Albert Einstein

    Not hard to guess which option you have chosen.
    Love the bee in the lavender!

    What a beautiful photo. I’ve been watching bees all weekend, fascinated by them…

    How could we stand to live in a world where there are no miracles? Nothing should be taken for granted. Thanks for reminding me!

    Thanks Gina! :)

    Folks, if you click on the photo, you can see an enlargement of Dan’s amazing bee – exquisite detail down to the individual hairs on her legs!

    Absolutely! You know which side we both stand on! ;)

    Wow, that is truly an amazing picture, I want more bees in my garden! Found out that they are the reason why zucchinis plants do well and I’ve never stopped wanting them around. That and we love honey 8), thanks for reminding us of miracles that happen every day.

    Lorraine, I certainly do! :)

    Soy, we’re just planting zucchinis now! :)

      Hehe…doesn’t she smear pollen all over them in an attempt to pretty them up? :)

    Great photo and great quote – so many miracles happening every day.

  18. on October 5, 2010 at 11:17 pm Anna

    I’ve been trying to keep that quote in my head all morning. The very beautiful photo makes the bee look fluffy!


  19. on October 6, 2010 at 5:41 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

    I’m so glad you all enjoyed this! Anna J, I wonder where the expression “bee’s knees” actually came from?


  20. on October 6, 2010 at 2:34 pm Dan

    C, thank you for pairing my pic with such beautiful words. I love that quote.


    • on October 6, 2010 at 2:39 pm Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial
