Flowers have their own language

Flowers have their own language

 

Clarksville real estate professional Debbie Reynolds posted a blog about the meaning of Facebook “Likes” and “Comments”. Debbie happens to be one of my favorite bloggers. Most of the time, Likes are about the same as a nod of the head in acknowledgement.

I receive hundreds of Likes on my photographs on Facebook and have a world-wide following. Many of the Likes are from other countries and are made by people that do not speak English. Yes, flowers have their own language and are loved by all, regardless of the language they speak or read. A Facebook Like could be be best available form of communication.

These dahlia photographs are from our Kentlands home garden. For many, they are better than words.

Hi Roy,

For some reason I have not been that interested in the LIKES part of Facebook. I just like passing on information.

Have a good day in Gaithersburg my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Beautiful, Roy.  It's true, pictures of these lovely flowers can transcend languages and cultures.  (Maybe you should send some to our government  )
