So pretty, Rick!

I love this quote! It is so true. At times in life when I was world weary, I sought out nature and the beauty of living things. Perhaps this was the main reason I have been able to be resilient and present for my family for my long life.

Collage of six spring flowers photographed in a garden. Pale pink cherry blossom with unopened buds on a branch; a single nodding blue scilla flower; a bright yellow daffodil in profile; pale yellow primroses growing in grass; a pink hyacinth spike in bloom; and a cluster of deep blue hyacinths with glossy green leaves. Soft green backgrounds.

“When the world wearies, and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden.”

— Minnie Aumônier (1865–1952)

Flowers now blooming in my garden to brighten your day. #SolaceInNature

Oh, Kathryn, I needed a positive note so badly! And there you are with the beauty of summer in hand.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Wonderful group of photos

Good for you, Rie!

Getting excited, Joy. I pulled my peony plant out of the closet I had put it in last September and it already had a shoot! 🌸

Lake with still water, reflecting green trees.

Placid waters.

Thanks for asking, Ilena. 💕
Took pup out for a little walk yesterday. Such a delight to be in the sunshine after so many snowbound days. Spring is coming.

The only one on your list that I have here in Boston is the House Sparrow, a European immigrant, btw. Happy little chirper.

Exquisite

Snow’s really building up now. Seven inches down; seven more to come today! Boston strong, because we have bought out the supermarkets! ❄️❄️❄️

NYC, is there a snow cam?

Jealous. I am jealous. 😀

Thanks so much! Hatches are battened down here in my little Boston apartment, Rie. Plenty of food stocked and our power lines are underground, so hoping not to lose power. Just staying cozy. ⛄️

Oh Joy. I guess I’m back in hibernation for the weekend! Good thing I like to read and listen to audio books! We still have our cocoa bar that we set up for Christmas, so that’s good. ☕️🍩

Hope it’s all good news, Rie.

Very bad advice. Sometimes it’s good, in fact, even lifesaving, to NOT do something that you want to do.

Looks delicious!

Her orchid is lovely!!!

Feel better, Ana!😊🌼

Good morning and welcome to baseball season.

Such an elegant one!

Looks so delicious! Toasted with butter and jam. 🍞🧈

Outside my window. Some of these icicles have melted, but the largest ones are still there, getting even larger and will soon touch the ground.
