My desire to be outside these days is strong. It’s that seasonal shift, when nature awakens after a long winter, that causes me to come alive, too. I can’t get enough of the colors and textures that surround us, or the sights and sounds of animals, big and small, going about their normal day.
These are a few photos I’ve taken this month at our local Greenway. I never go there expecting to see such beauty, but to simply exercise, clear my head, and chat with a friend. So when things do catch my eye, it’s a real treat that boosts my spirit.
One of our orchids at home just blossomed, too. We have 2 of them, given to us by Chad’s mom. It’s hard to believe she’s been gone for 10 years this spring. I know she’d be proud that somehow I’ve managed to keep them alive all this time. They serve as a gentle reminder of her, every time they flower.
