"What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare."

Indeed, there are many opportunities anytime, anywhere to take a few seconds to see the beauty and vibrancy of life.
The image above is a cascading purple beech with its new satiny leaves dancing in the breeze with some tulips all dressed in complementary colours.
Where did you stop to stand and stare? Where might you find some wonder this weekend?
