"Connecting Enthusiasts of Nature, Floral Design and Writing!"
What is love?
It is a universal emotion, without conditions determined by society.
It comes in many forms.
Whatever form you choose, may define your lifelong happiness.
I choose “self-love” first.
“Self-love” can unleash your true inner self and project external potential.
True love is when you love yourself enough to not rely on someone else to love you.
Worthiness belongs to “you”.

I count the days of each season of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
It reminds me of the maple tree that changes its colorful hues of green, red, orange and yellow.
It is a long road ahead, but still, I tread on with anticipation of undiscovered places of wonder.
Each step forward, there are roadblocks and detours that I must take.
Why do I take such a path, you might ask?
I want to travel to a destination that I could call my own sanctuary.
A special place that I seek, that surrounds me with green pastures and blue lakes undisturbed by humans.
It is a long road ahead, but still, I tread on with hope and kindness to this earth.

As a Bay Area resident and a lover of plants and nature, I didn’t miss an opportunity of visiting local gardens, such as UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. This 34-acre garden boasts of 10,000 diverse plants to be awed of by your human eyes. I had the joy and enthusiasm of a curious gardener walking through this garden five years ago. I spent about 3 hours there taking photos and literally was overwhelmed.
I highly recommend this as a day trip with family and friends. I suggest early morning when they open, especially if you want to see every section of the garden and to take photos. Though there is an admission fee, it is still economical. You won’t be disappointed if you are a nature lover and enjoy a day of fresh air, mental therapy, and exercise.
