Upon a nice mid-spring day, Let's take a look at Nature's way. Breathe the scent of nice fresh air, Feel the breeze within your hair.
Hear the buzzing of the bees, Climb the tallest willow trees. Look across the meadow way, And you shall see some butterflies play
See the daisies as they grow, Watch a gentle cold stream flow. Know the sounds of water splash, Catch its glimmer in a flash.
When altogether all seems sound, Lay yourself upon the ground. Take a moment to inhale, And listen to Nature tell her tale... 💚
These are beautiful pictures from your garden ... I love the spring in which nature spoils us again with her impressive variety of colors and shapes, smells and impressions. And your pictures shows her richness very impressively :) (Y)
@MoonlightLullaby It may not be surprising, but I share your opinion :) and every true nature lover I have had the pleasure to meet has been a sensitive, compassionate and extremely kind character :)
@RobinPhoenix I'd like to think people see me as kind and compassionate. I definitely know it's my intent. I can honestly assure you that I am hardcore sensitive & it's not necessarily a good trait at times. Sigh.
@MoonlightLullaby I know what you mean. My wife, my son and I are all highly sensitive. It´s true, it often is a curse to feel and perceive everything more intensely than others do, but we are who we are and cannot change it... we can only accept it and make the best of it. Too often people like you and me and so many others are seen as weak or "damaged". But feeling intensely is not a sign of weakness, it is the mark of great aliveness and compassion. It is not the empathic person that is broken, but our emotionally handicapped society. There's nothing shameful about expressing feelings authentically...because it keeps alive the dream of a more humane world.
@robingoodfellow I watch UK gardening shows like Gardeners World and Beachgrove Garden and they really had a drought last year and a cold winter. I hope things are better this year.
@MoonlightLullaby then one more picture just for you, Moonlight. We're having a very dry Spring here. It's concerning. Last summer was very dry, vegetables did not do well and some of my perennial herbs died off. I'm hoping there isn't a repeat of last year but so far it doesn't bode well.
@robingoodfellow Oh wow. I'm sorry to know that. It looks as if things are still verdant, so hopefully things turn around soon since I can only imagine Summer's havoc.😔
Is that beautiful planter supposed to be Goddess Gaia or Flora? Perhaps neither, or maybe even Persephone.🤔 It's gorgeous regardless.💖
@OogieBoogie yes I like some sense of wildness to be present. Push nature in the direction I want it to go rather than create something perfectly cultivated .
@robingoodfellow im so with you on that philosophy. Plus it makes your garden alive with birds and tiny fauna like butterflies and lizards and such....and i love that.
