This morning.

Cloud update … HA!

March 31 2020

That was invigorating! Went for a walk, in a new to me place. It’s as if each step was an infusion of nature’s energy. Along with the sound of the crunch of the rocks, gravel, and dirt, I feel rejuvenated. Plus, found some huge love along the way.

Cloud update … Ha! First two photos taken an hour ago. Last two from this morning. The wind was blowing so hard, the camera wouldn’t focus.

Cloud update …. We had a clear sky yesterday, until late afternoon. They’ve returned.

Last solo walk around the lil lake. Thank you for nurturing my soul for 4 years. Grateful for every single walk, grateful for the poetry inspired, grateful that Team TLC had this beautiful space five minutes from our door. We’ll be back for walks here and there. Deeply grateful and incredibly excited for this new adventure we’re stepping into.

Thomas and I went for a sunset walk after dinner. Wow! That was cold! I see a bunny in the sky!

Lillian left this afternoon for a 3 day weekend with The Romano Duo. Yay!!! I am deeply tired and looking forward to 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep. I love you lots Lillian …. but I gots to get some sleep!!!

On the hour long walk this morning I passed by a few wild horses just strolling down the trail. I told them they were beautiful as I walked by, stopped for a millisecond to take their photo, and thanked them. Beautiful beings.

Blossoms, bees, sunshine, blue skies, wild horses, and an abundance of bird song. It was an amazing and magical hour long walk today.

Graceful icicles today as the snow melted. Along with the amazing sun. 💦☀️

Today was library volunteer day. Lillian and I couldn’t resist the lil garden behind the library. Wonderful, untouched, soft, fluffy snow! Along with a beautiful blue sky and gorgeous trees. That and some deep belly laughs = Ahhhhhh!!!

February 8 2019:

Love the way the trees frame the sun … from a walk yesterday.

February 9 2019:

… from the hour long walk yesterday. It was perfect timing to have this walk, then write about walking, and what it means for me.

Since the first week of January I’ve submitted seven writings of either a trio of poems or an essay style writing. We shall see if any are accepted or chosen. If not chosen, at least I’m creating new material for my blog and next book!

Heart in the Clouds and Frosty Nature Art Show

I saw many heart shapes on today’s 5 mile walk. Yet, this little beauty hiding in the clouds shared a lovely message and caused my heart to tingle. 💙💙💙

Bold and cold 5 mile walk yesterday. Such contrast in the sky. 💙💙💙

January 22 2019:

A walk with Thomas last Friday …. 💜💜💜

January 22 2019:

Frosty cold walk this morning … My face nearly froze! The nature art show made it worth it though … 💛💙💛💙

Amazing nature art show this morning. It looks like the trees are cradling the sun. And the sun looks as if it’s smeared into the clouds. Beautiful! 🌲☀️🌤💚💛

I sure hope you enjoy the nature photographs I share here! If you are moved and inspired to do so, I’d be deeply grateful if you’d like to “Buy Me a Coffee” ….. – Camilla

The Path of the Heart by Camilla Downs

The Path of the Heart

The path back home
seems littered with
suffering and struggle.

What is this insane
ability to cause
one self such suffering?

Suffering by way of the
thoughts that dart
here and there,
at times stabbing
the soul as if they
were a cold, sharp knife.

When one golden day
the tides of change
bring ….

Wonderful walk this afternoon. I’ve come such a long way in living a heart centered life aligned with my beliefs, not being concerned with what that looks like to others, nor whether others approve.

Yet, when the “disapproval” is from the ones I’ve been blessed to call my kids; I’ve still got some work to do. Big ole trigger. Went for a walk so I could be with that sucky trigger, feeling it, and loving it. Deeply grateful for love and Nature. 💚🍁🧡💙🌏💙🧡🍁💚
