As I mentioned in the previous post, my guys and I took an evening walk some days ago in a nearby nature preserve to see if we could spot the recently released rabbits that were under our care. We didn’t find the bunnies, but we found nature being her wild best.
We love walking in this park. We encounter beauty with each step, whether on the open trail which frames the pond, or the covered trails where we’re more likely to encounter the creatures that make the park their home.
Though much of the brilliance of summer has faded, there’s still so much to enjoy: Unloved flowers showcasing their beauty for those who have learned to see it.
Bugs that feast on the flowers. [Look closely]
Sun-kissed clouds floating above the trees, making way for night.
Random splashes of color.
Feasts for birds…
and the smallest animals.
Remains of fallen trees that continue to give life.
A surprise gift–a moth waiting patiently to be photographed.
A brightly colored flower captured as we exited a trail.
The final gift of the evening.
I hope you take some time this weekend to sit [or walk] quietly in nature, find strength, heal your soul, connect with the Divine.

I think we must take time to pause–if we are to maintain our sanity in this crazy world.

Thank your for the GENEROUS compliment and for appreciating the photos. The moth is my favorite too. You should see it in black and white! I think two or three of them deserve their own blog post.

Beautiful, I especially love the purple flower with it insanely clockwork lattice of pistil and stamen both symmetric and insanely luxurious. Do you know what it is called? Thank you for these Chandra! 🌸

I have no idea what that flower is called, but yes! It is the coolest. I haven’t looked it up. I’ll let you know when I do. I’m just trying to survive the first few days back at work.
