Gems

These delightful Johnny Jump-ups are volunteers. They survived the harsh snowy winter and emerged entirely on their own. I’ve always loved these little beauties.

Stretching

Our neighbour, the White Pine tree, stretches into the ether, a beautiful work of art.  I’m grateful to share time, space, and life with it.

In motion

Achilles was in butt-tuck mode, racing around the yard, leaping on and off the deck. I tripped the shutter a little late as he made for the deck.

Return

Winter recently (and briefly!) returned, testing our resilience by throwing a few centimeters of snow at us. It created this beautiful scene.

Art

I stood on the riverbank, surveying the scene for an interesting vista to photograph. Nothing really struck my eyes. Then I looked down, just in front of my feet.

Water, incompletely solidified, becomes art.

Blush

Living art

Faye recently visited the Butterfly Conservatory in Cambridge. Here is an image of only one of the living canvases on display. How beautiful.

Contrast

On the ground, all is still dark, hidden. Above, a riot of colour and beauty.

Magic, again

Life is so full of magic, beauty. It’s good to stop, appreciate, give thanks for these seemingly small things.
