I came across this Lisianthus as I was looking for another type of flower in the garden that I was touring. This was another unexpected beauty to me. The first time I saw this photo everything stopped. Capturing photos like this is why I started taking pictures so many years ago.
Love is everywhere, but we need more love in the world today. There is too much hate and violence. Stop spreading words of hate. Stop spreading the hate toward other human beings. Love. Love really is the answer.
I absolutely love barber poles. It is one of the many things I miss from the years that I wish would come back. Businesses use to spend so much effort on their signs, but I feel that businesses just get a standard sign and move on. Barber poles just have a feeling of the 'old days', which is some cases is good. I really do need to explore Charleston more now that I live closer to it. I hope to have more pictures from there soon.
