As the drizzle became rain, I took shelter. Later nature displayed a colorful rainbow with flickers of the lowering sun casting sparkles on the turquoise ocean. It was then I discovered, "there's no place like home."
TRAVEL The spirit of wanderlust was beckoning me. Today, however, my journey took me only through my garden. At the base of the mango tree bloomed petite, delicate yellow orchids. My eyes paused to admire the Bird of Paradise flowers a short distance away. Refusing to be ignored were the vibrant red and pink ginger flowers wafting in the gentle breeze.

Sounds like a beautiful tropical garden. Sometimes we just don't appreciate what's right at our door.
