Come Out


Won't you please come out and rest your eyes? One early morning in June, I awoke before everyone else; I crept down the stairs, avoiding the creaks, and grabbed my camera. One picture of the view through my front porch door, then out into the newly-dawned day to document that most peaceful, natural, and varied of colours:
Tansy Leaf

Perennial Geranium

Pretty Weed

Lady's Mantle

Cosmos

Buttercup

Locust Tree

Mullein, with friends

Beets!

And my favourite, garden plant, the humble pea.

Can you find one restful moment today to sit and just look at the green around you? Yours eyes and your spirit will thank you.

  4. Right out my office window are the trees that line the river, and edge the park on the other side. I will pause and gaze several times today, until I am outside when the day is over!
    Love the photos.

  6. Early morning is such a wonderful time - especially in summer.
    I can see you creeping along, knowing exactly where every creak in the floor is and avoiding them all to reach your destination.
    It is lovely outside your door.
