Along the Stone Wall a Garden Grew

Wall flowers

 

Along the stone a garden grew.

Little flowers tucked in with barely enough dirt for their roots to spread.

Wall flowers:

Standing, waiting, hoping, blooming without knowing how beautiful they were.

In harmony. Though each a beauty in its own light.

 

Wall flowers stone wall

 

Wall flowers nestled in the knooks and crannies of a wall that has stood for over a hundred years.

A gardener could not have planned it as well.

Wallflowers grew without knowing their worth:

Unique.

Divine.

Strong.

Lovely, true.

The stone wall followed a path. The tiny flowers that grew on the wall, could easily go unnoticed.

Mossed covered stones held them apart.

A view opposite of the wall that took most my attention.

I almost missed their beauty because of it.

The whole picture was breathtaking. Then I caught myself and said, "Slow down, look."

The language of flowers is similar to our own.

Bloom where you planted:

Unique.

Divine.

Strong.

Lovely, true.

Yes, the wallflowers, they caught my attention, every little thing, each flower, each moment is beautiful, especially if I stop and hold it true.

  1. Corey, how beautiful! Thank you for these lovely photographs.

  2. What a lovely place to take a stroll. Slow down, read advice, I’m following it today.

  3. I meant great advice, see, I need to slow down today, lol.

  4. It is a gift to notice the tiny things of life and see their beauty and blessing! You have that gift.

  5. Everyone above is saying what I think: The appeal of your photos and words are because you slow down and look. It is a gift to all of us and a reminder that we all yearn for that kind of attention to the details of life. Thank you.

  6. Truly beautiful.
    I love all plants but I think little ones like these that grow in unlikely places in the tiniest bits of soil are my favourite.
    I found one myself this week – on top of a mountain on a rocky plateau – a teeny, tiny Sundew.

  7. How beautiful a moment you have captured! You know, I have always thought of a “wall flower” as being the flowers in wallpaper!!
