s is for spring

i think spring has finally sprung here in cape town.

i took my dog for a walk today just like i do every day, and today i noticed little flowers everywhere popping up out of the sidewalk and walls.

it was so beautiful and it just made me happy to see these beautiful little things making a place for themselves.

sometimes we don't notice the beauty around us everyday.

but i am making a point of noticing things and looking a bit more closely.

not just walking but always looking.

sometimes we have to stop and smell the roses or at least the sidewalk flowers.

stop and take a look around you, you might be surprised by what you see or just fall in love with your neighborhood all over again ♥
