Sunset walk yesterday …
Found a quiet shaded spot, took the shoes off, stood barefoot in the grass, touched the grass with my fingers ….. breathed it in and breathed it out.

From the walk yesterday.
Thank you Mother Nature. Thank you.
When one receives news that brings forth fire breathing anger, she is there to let you know it’s okay to let yourself feel this old and new anger. Feel it. Let it all bubble to the surface. Scream. Sob. Cuss. I will help you release it.
Deeply grateful to Mother Nature. Ahhhhh ….. Here’s to a new day! So good at what she does .. 🙏💙💚💙💚💙💚🙏

From a quick walk Friday night. I very much enjoy the challenge of aligning the trees, and branches, and sun. Just love how the sun, trees, and bushes model for me. They’re the best!! 💛🌸

Two short walks yesterday. One in the morning and one at sunset. Just adore the colors of this tree and its blossoms against the blue sky.

Afternoon walk today. Gotta capture these beautiful blossoms while they last. They don’t stick around long!

Afternoon walk with Thomas yesterday. So much loving this little patch of tiny yellow flowers!! 💛💚💛💚💛💚

A book.
An egret.
A flowering bush.
All discovered on the walk yesterday. When I came across each one, I was moved to stop and take in the scene. Most especially, the open book with pages being turned by the ghostly wind. Even the wind likes to read. 😘📖💨🌸💖 (To clarify, the book is not mine … it was simply sitting on the rock with its pages being turned by the wind .. Struck me as beautiful!)

It was the long walk today. Will need to start getting out there earlier. When it warms up here, it don’t mess around!! Loved these beautiful buds!!
April 25 2019:
Sunset walk with Thomas … Nice and warm with a light breeze. Beautiful and peaceful. Largest family so far … 23 or more goslings!! He’ll let me take a photo of his shadow. I’ll take whatever I can get!
April 26 2019:
Today’s walk. Sat for a bit underneath this tree. Listened to the birdsong and the ducks and the geese. Felt the silky air against my skin. Smelled the smells. Haven’t done that in way too long. Ahhhhhh …
Mother Nature showed up in a beautiful way for Earth Day. She called me out for three walks. One with Lillian. One by myself. And one with Thomas.
She knew after I spent the morning looking into how much to replace the radiator in our car, I would need some Nature Love. 💙 🌏 🌏 🌏💚
Made wishes with Nature Made wishing “flowers”. Isn’t she beautiful?? Just can’t get enough of her loveliness.
Loved these wispy clouds. Lillian had a great time taking photos.
Earth Day sunset walk with Thomas yesterday. Absolutely gorgeous!!
April 14 2019:
Short walk with Lillian to capture the blooms. Too windy and cold for the long walk. Beautiful sky and clouds too!
April 15 2019:
Wild clouds and wind today! And the babies are arriving!! Saw three sets of goslings.

Sunset walk with Thomas yesterday. Now the Sun’s just showing off! I like it! Keep it up Sun!!

Beautiful, warm and breezy walk with Lillian. So lovely to have warmer weather with birds singing and trees beginning to bloom. Bonus!! Rock love!! 💖💖💖
April 9 2019:
Windy and cold sunset walk with Thomas yesterday. Love these cute seed pods scattered across the path and grass. Amazing sky and clouds.💚
April 11 2019:
My heart and soul smile when the purple carpet arrives … along with the flowering bushes. Sigh …. So in love with spring.
On the walk today. I chose to only take photos of color. Thank you Mother Nature!

Sunset walk with Thomas yesterday. Beauty abounds!
April 8 2019:
Lillian and Camilla April 2019 Date Day! First, a stop to look for a new skirt or dress for Lillian. Found one! Yay!!
Next was a stop for fries ….. they were out of fries so she tried the sweet potato tots. Oh my goodness! Those were good!!
Pink and yellow frosted sugar cookie for her and we split the other two goodies. A vegan Neapolitan cupcake (good grief, that was so good) and a vegan snicker doodle cookie dough bite. Next stop was an incredibly windy walk.
Last stop – An incredibly windy walk!

Sunset walk with Thomas.
Breathe it in
Breathe it out
Look up
Look around
Keep walking
Keep writing
Keep knowing
Keep loving
Hold space
For them
For you
This is the Way
This is the unfolding
Nature of life.

Lillian and I visited the little garden behind the library today after volunteering. We went to look at and photograph the daffodils.
Yet, I was loving this Moss, even more than the daffodils. So soft and a beautiful shade of green. For some reason I hadn’t noticed it before. Got my attention this time! The moss is like a miniature world! So lovely!
