I mentioned photographing treasure in my backyard. Here is one nugget, a periwinkle. Simple and commonplace things are as valuable as the odd, the uncommon. It’s important to treasure and give thanks for small everyday blessings.

Kendal has a thing about Turkey Vultures. Whenever he spies one flying over he goes on Red Alert, barking a warning to keep on flying and not come back.

Look out! Look up!

Look out! Look up!

He continued barking and I continued snapping

Alert! Alert!

Alert! Alert!

Kendal began barking ferociously as I photographed some living jewels in the backyard. I swung the camera around and captured this.

Quite by chance

By chance

During our walk the other day Faye saw this unusual green and white trillium quite by chance. Had she not walked that way we would have missed this little beauty.

This Black Cherry truck reached high, catching my and causing it to do the same.

Sometimes it’s good to ask if we are still on the right path, or should we consider changing direction.
