Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis arvensis) grows wild in my garden. I don't mind - they are good ground cover. Their little 1/4 inch flowers look quite nondescript until seen close up so I got down on my knees this afternoon with the macro lens :)

Alzheimers New Zealand uses the Forget-Me-Not as an icon to raise awareness for the condition and support for carers.


"The blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope's gentle gem, the sweet Forget-me-not." ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

I really love the way the flower seems to be suspended and the soft tones and colors are soothing. Great work!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
