Today, she would like to thank her dad for sharing two beautiful pictures of their balcony in Beirut, Lebanon. Bravo for her mom&#8217;s green thumb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Bambi is not mistaken, the flower featured in the pictures seems to be a rose. However, she is absolutely not knowledgeable and talented in gardening like her mother. If she is wrong, she urges you to please correct her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for her parents, she will tell them bravo for contributing to make their beautiful green residential neighbourhood more beautiful. During daytime, birds visit their lovely balcony. At night, a pregnant wild cat comes to sleep on one of their comfortable chairs. She seems to enjoy her &#8220;<em>free-of-charge hotel<\/em>&#8220;, as they joke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming that the picture&#8217;s beauty is truly called a rose, Bambi will end this brief post with two songs: (1) the first Arabic melody (with English sub-titles) celebrates a woman&#8217;s love for roses; and (2) the second song celebrates &#8220;<em>Life in Pink<\/em>&#8221; [&#8220;<em>La vie en rose<\/em>&#8220;]. Yes, this is the state of mind, or spirit, when we live with a positive outlook on life. We are happy and we appreciate daily beauty around us. This is similar to how we feel when we (first) fall in love. It is called seeing life through rose-coloured glasses [<em>&#8220;voir la vie en rose&#8221;]<\/em>, as per Ms. Edith Piaf&#8217;s eternal song.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your favourite flower is a rose or not, Bambi wishes you happiness, hoping that your inner well-being will bloom like a flower to shine externally, all around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Flower_papa1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Flower_papa1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Flower_papa1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Flower_papa1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>A flower from the beautiful balcony of Robine and Antoine in Beirut, Lebanon.
