Hope Springs Eternal In a realm where hope blooms eternal, Magnolia petals grace the ground, a sight so supernal. Bluebells form a serene azure tapestry, While tulips in rows paint a vivid reverie. Each petal whispers nature's divine fleeting grace, In this tranquil, ever-changing kaleidoscopic space. A symphony of hues in transient rhyme, Embracing the impermanence of changing time. Spring's arrival, a splendid sight to behold, In this garden where beauty weaves stories untold. Nature's grandeur displayed, a fleeting ballet, An ephemeral canvas that won't forever stay. So let's embrace each bloom, each sunlit ray, And savor the moment before it slips away. -Kanchana All the blooms in my garden, all at once announcing spring. Have a wonderful Thursday and hope you enjoy my poem. 🌸🌼🐝🌷🍀🌸🌿🪻🪻🌱🍀🌺🌷🩷 #spring #hope #eternal #temporary #season #tulips #bluebell #magnolia #seasonal #poetry #poem #words #appreciation #beauty #amazing #artoftheday #petal #petals #garden #gardeninspiration #gardenlove #growth #colours #blue #red #pink #green #mygarden #gardening #thursday

People aren't always born strong or weak but made through everything we survive. The fires we walk through, and the storms we endure are what makes us who we are. We are a combination of nature and nurture. Sometimes we are strong beyond what is possible but at times fragile despite all the blessings. I am touched by how many people open up to me and read me, especially in the past few weeks. While Instagram is not the platform it used to be, you are. My friends remain. Thank you for your words, support and for accepting me for me. Not always just looking at my photos and moving on. So many of you carry so much, weather so much silently and have opened up to me. Every honest word has bonded us and I am so grateful for the connections. I will guard your words. Sometimes I am unable to control my emotions. I don't want to block my sadness to the suffering of others and carry on with life without anything touching me. It's easy to let the world get you down but we must remain optimistic and hopeful that good things will happen. I am open, remain humble, private with my personal life, loyal and above all keep love close to me. I am always grateful for what I have. Emotions are what makes us human. Thank you for sharing yours and for reading mine. Never forget that good things happen to good people, for the universe loves us however hard the struggle. Happy Saturday 🩷💙 #me #saturday #selfie #thankful #thankyou #grateful #humble #loyal #private #open #openheart #confidence #friends #emotional #emotions #good #universe #nurture #nature #weekend #survive #strong #support #understand #read #talk #share #listen #confide #connection

A Timeless love I want all of you. Not just for the blooming season. I want all of you, in every hue. Not just in bloom, but when you're cold and torn. I'll love you through it all, from dusk till dawn. I love you when you are wild and free. Not for a season when our hearts are full of glee. Anyone can love for a season, I will love you for years, for a lifetime Till the roots rot and the branches fall on top of me. You've loved me, sheltered me and protected me through my very worst. You are my tree, my eternal bliss. I will bloom for you, next to you, within your love. I will not always be so pretty, but thank you for loving me through the thickest of winter, at my very worst.. It's finally spring, time to enjoy the best of me. - Kanchana A love story between the bluebells and the tree. An eternal love of all seasons. They are both blooming in spring and about to celebrate the best of each other after weathering many storms together. Happy Friday dear friends. 🌳🌿🪻🌱🩵💚🪻💙🌳🌿💙🩵💚🪻🪻 #bluebell #tree #alovesobeautiful #alovestory #forlove #eternity #nature #truelove #true #truebeauty #poety #poem #poemsofinstagram #poems #lovedailydose #gift #iloveyou #jetaime #forallofyou #allofyou #alwaysandforever #wordporn #wordsmatter #lovematters #friday #spring #loveeternal #timetocelebrate #flowerpower #flowers

Sherborne is a market town and civil parish in north west Dorset, in South West England. The charming, honey-coloured town is brimming with history and heritage with an array of beautiful buildings. Sherborne is one of the most ancient towns in England. Settled since Roman times, the area was valued for its pastures. It was from here the Saxons held back the Danes, invading from the east. The ancient capital of Wessex. Sherborne is the perfect small town for a weekend break and hope you enjoy the quaint architecture of the a quintessential English market town.

Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen -Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe A magical garden we visited last year to remind myself that anything is possible. Rain is constant for us these days but it is part of that magic that will make everything lush and green when the sun shines. So while it rains, I know the summer will be all the more beautiful for it. Just have to keep believing that all things are a part of nature and the magic will happen when the time is right. Especially in ourselves. Magic is fragile like butterfly wings, but they exist nevertheless. Never give up on yourself, what you want, what you believe, what you strive for. The universe is made up of magic that will make anything possible if we believe we can do it, have it, live it. Have a wonderful Tuesday 🦋 🌿🌳💚🌳🌿🌳 #magic #secret #secretgarden #green #believe #believeinthemagic #butterfly #allcreaturesgreatandsmall #spring #green #lush #summertime #summer #summervibes #itscoming #dontgiveup #keepbelieving #keepbelievinginyourself #magicisreal #magicishere #magiciswithin #tobelieve #life #quote #happiness #love #everafergarden #everything _imaginable #everything #nature #england

Studland bay is vast area of sandy beaches and heathland in Dorset in the south coast of England. The bay is glorious slice of natural coastline in Purbeck featuring a four-mile stretch of golden, sandy beach, with gently shelving bathing waters and views of Old Harry Rocks (as seen in the first photo) and the Isle of Wight (on a good day). The heathland behind the beach is a haven for native wildlife and the designated trails through the sand dunes and woodlands allows for exploration and spotting of deer, insects and bird life as well as a wealth of wild flowers. Studland was the inspiration for Toytown in Enid Blyton's Noddy books. Happy friday and hope you enjoy a slice of our beaches in the UK. We do have them too 😊💙🇬🇧🌊 #studlandbay #studland #beach #bayarea #bay #southofengland #studlandbay #oldharryrocks #oldharry #dunes #sandybeach #natural #sunnyday #summer #isleofwight #coastalphotography #dorset #dorsetcoast #dorsetlife #purbeck #jurrasiccoast #hike #coastalpath #studlandbay #sunset #west _snaps #nationaltrust #jurassiccoasttrust #nationaltrustsouthwest

The beauty of the natural world lies in the details. -Natalie Angier As does every aspect of our lives. If we don't look at anything carefully and simply see the big picture, it's easy to walk away without seeing the real beauty of life. To miss what's important, what's hidden in plain sight. Love is in the details. A coffee made just the way you like it. The flowers selected for you, the silence when words are not enough, defrosting the car on a cold morning, letting you warm your cold legs on their warm body. Grand gestures have their place but it's the details we should all look for. If you see the details, if you feel the details, appreciate the details, You find happiness. Happiness hides in life’s small details. If you’re not looking, it becomes invisible. -Joyce Brothers Don't let them be invisible and allow happiness to escape.

To the Skylark By William Wordsworth Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky! Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound? Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground? Thy nest which thou canst drop into at will, Those quivering wings composed, that music still! Leave to the nightingale her shady wood; A privacy of glorious light is thine; Whence thou dost pour upon the world a flood Of harmony, with instinct more divine; Type of the wise who soar, but never roam; True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home! ..... William Wordsworth rose to fame in the 18th century for his radical and direct approach to poetry. Casting aside outdated literary tropes, he wrote poems that reflected everyday speech, becoming one of the first modern poets to connect to readers in their own language.  Drawing inspiration from his life in the beautiful Lake District, his poems perfectly capture the healing powers of the natural world and provide an unrivalled antidote to the busy lives of our era. I hope you enjoy the poetry and the imagery of a perfect day at the lakes. My favourite part of England without a single doubt.

Dear friends, I told you that this year I will try to spread the world with love more than usual and I won't give up. I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes and even thinking, it's all right for her. Well, let me tell you, I have not always been so confident about it. I have suffered and my life had been altered by the wrong types. Yet, it was true love that has given me all that I am. Love rescued me. I don't just mean by one single person but by a lot of people. Yes, one loves me for all my broken pieces and allows me to be who I am but it's the love of many who has given me faith. I have always believed in love and when life let me down, I didn't give up. I started to love the world as my recovery. I love my neighbours, friends, colleagues, strangers, people at the gym and anyone who encounter me. This love takes many forms, giving a hug, asking someone how they are and actually listening to them, texting, sending flowers and leaving messages to those who can't face anything. Everyone is carrying something heavy. Even the mean ones. Especially those. I smile, even if they don't. Eventually they end up smiling. I did this alone for years without love for myself from that significant one. I had that love from the world instead. Then one day the universe gave me a gift I never knew I deserved. It's not godly, it was entirely human. This love showed me that nothing needs to be perfect, just that we need to love in any capacity and it can transform us. It can change the world. Love can. Love lives in that emotions we have for each other. That inexplicable moment when we can't walk away from someone else's pain and want to help them. Protect them, feel their pain, make it better, share our lives with them. That's love. It can be between two people but doesn't always have to be. Love makes us happy, it makes us better and it makes our lives so much more valuable. So when I talk of love, it's not only that passionate, desire for our significant other but that love in their eyes. It reflects. Its our souls touching. It's so powerful that we can't measure it, count it. Love between things that have souls and life. Love is the source of life.

Happy Friday dear friends. While i have shown you Salisbury cathedral before, here are some unaired photos within and the grounds. As I described yesterday, one of 4 copies of teh Magna Carta is kept here and while no one is allowed to take photos of it, its a small area where the book is kept away from the light for those who wish to gaze upon it. Its remarkable what was written at the time. The cathedral also has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain at 80 acres. It contains a clock which is among the oldest working clocks in the world. The building is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture. ... Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258. Salisbury Cathedral has been a place of worship, welcome, and hospitality for over 800 years. Its Spire (the tallest in the country and a feat of medieval engineering) rises to a breath-taking 404ft/123m, guiding travellers, merchants, and pilgrims to the historic city. Hope you enjoy the photos and videos. 🇬🇧 ⛪ #salisburycathedral #salisburycathedral⛪️ #salisburycathedral #magnacarta #britain #greatbritain #architecture #wiltshire #travelgram #travelengland #travelphotography #bluesky #friday #cathedral #placesofworship #religion #christian #christianity #candle #cross #historic #clergy #stainedglass #intricate #interior #gothic #gothicstyle #enormous #tall #travelphotography #interesting #cityphotography
