Living on the east coast, I have many opportunities to stare at the ocean; just watching the vast blueness and the whitecaps over and over and over. Your pictures of mountains tell me that I can do the same there.
Actually, Virginia has mountains - not a lot of snow, but very beautiful. Why don't I go see them more often!
I love those pink flowers - I am not familiar with them. I think photography has made me more mindful. It makes you stop and enjoy even when you don't have a camera handy.
The Prairie smoke Wildflower is one of a kind! The color is very special ... a lovely, Deep old rose, and the form of the flowers so delicate - what a beauty! Thank you for sharing these small Wonders!
I like all your advice here (as well as the photos). May we linger. May we look around and enjoy the Good Things that surround us, however small or inconspicuous or challenging to see.
really sweet. thanks for this today. :)
