Buba, what can I say—your greenery, roof top plants, roses, the fairies hair—all wonderful. I think you and your camera should get cell phone photographer of the year. You work wonders with it.
Just now seeing your before and after pictures of the grapes and “family growth chart” of the lilies, it is even more astounding what you can capture with a phone camera. You deserve a special break.
Diane, when can we leave for your beach and ocean. It is georgeous. Thank you for putting out all the beach chairs, I would love to come but it would be so very difficult to leave again
Liliwings, your pictures of Vermont are breathtaking. What a wonderous fragment of God’s creative masterpiece. What can be said about the Maple syrup—there are no words eloquent enough to describe this true burnished amber gift of the gods. I can’t even imagine what it must taste like right out of the tree. I miss the pictures of your gardens dear Lili. The New England area has been a very favorite of mine for a long long time. I love it’s sheer craggy coastline and the crashing sometimes angry ocean.
T.O. What a fantastic idea—“next year we could all meet . . . .somewhere”
Until then, perhaps we can all dream we are meeting and taking those long walks together.
Jude, I had no idea that England had such extraordinary nature scenery. When thinking about European travel last year, I had rather chalked off England. Thank you for posting so much of its impressive natural beauty. It adds to the sense of familyhood to see places where you used to live. I had often heard about the white cliffs of Dover but didn’t have any idea of how beautiful they are. If ever I am in Europe again, your pictures have convinced me of the natural wonder of England and the beauty of its cities.
Sparrow, dear, to me any large body of water that becomes one with the horizon is a seemingly endless distance is a very grace filled place to heal. Every time I see pictures taken through your window, I just want to pull up a rocking chair and “be” while waiting for all those gentle bambies to come up out of the woods. What an unbelievable gift of piece your “yard” must be. The rains truly have nourished your
flowers to an incredible lushness. All of the pictures of your habitat give one pause, but especially the pulmonaria and fern, my favorites. Is your work basket filled with crocheting?? I have never done it with thred, only yarn. How very talented you are. Blessings for sharing the beauty of you with all of us.
All I can say to all your pictures is mmmmmmmmmmmm or to borrow Diane’s phrase AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. You have added very precious jewel like moments to the evening of my day. AsSparrow once said, they truly provide us all with "Vitamin L". May they return to you a hundred fold.
to all. A Blessed and peace filled evening.
