The first photo was taken in Osaka, Japan. It is the plum orchard next to Osaka Castle. I remember how haunting and beautiful the blossoms smelled that day. I wish I could bottle the elusive scent of the plum blossoms to remind me of the loveliness in the world.
This was taken at Man Mo temple in Hong Kong. I love the repetition of pattern and color here and the photo soothes me and reminds me of a lovely day of sightseeing.
This fragile beauty is a hibiscus blossom from Tahiti. I love how delicate and serene this singular flower is. It reminds me to enjoy the beauty around me and to be at peace in the moment.
I hope you enjoyed this small break in your day and the world photo tour I have given you! Enjoy a beautiful day.

I like your pictures, especially the one of the incense coils in the temple in Hong Kong. I remember how peaceful it was in those temples compared to the hustle and bustle on the streets.
love the red theme on your photos Lianna, Great to see you posting again :)
Hi, Lianne! Terrific photos! I love the colors that move through them. The triple framing must be spectacular! Wishing you and yours all the best and a prosperous 2010! :-)
The plum blossoms are gorgeous! I love hibiscus! We are lucky to have many varieties of hibiscus in Florida.
Take 10 minutes of solitude for you today. I did yesterday! Wow, what a difference it made in my day!
Hi again, Lianne! Just wanted to stop by and say "Hi!" Hope you and yours are doing well! :-)
Wow - these are GORGEOUS!!! I'm starting a photography class next Tuesday and I'm REALLY looking forward to learning how to use my camera!! You're an inspiration!

Wonderful photos, and what a great idea to put them somewhere you'll see them every day. I should follow your lead, since I went digital I just don't have prints, I like the idea of assembling photos from different trips based on a single theme - cool!
