Slow Down

A Woodpecker feather sitting as it fell, on a boulder. Star Chickweed, Common Blue Violet and the leaves of Wild Geranium. All native plants.

Slow down. Take in all that surrounds you. There is so much out there for you to see, if only you would look. Really look. It’s there waiting for you.

  1. You are always a great observer of nature! We all need to slow dow, look around and take a breath. Thanks for the reminder!

  2. Aw, thanks Gary! And I must laugh — you would be so very frustrated if you ever hiked with me. THIS is how I hike. By looking at everything along the way. I take forever!

    Hugs to you and your precious family and thank you for reading my posts.

    1. Thank you Anne. If only more of us would slow down and take in all the beauty there is around us. Maybe it would be a different world.

      Thanks so very much for reading my posts and taking the time to write to me.
