2070. standing at attention

 

soldiers in a row

all ears and ready to go

lean and mean machines 🦊❤️

What a show of force the endless ranks of green and lean corn displayed!! 🦊❤️

2069. circles of life

 

right before my eyes

his’try year after year

beginning… till end 🦊❤️

It is quite amazing that the life of a tree is documented in such a detailed way… 🦊❤️

2068. onlooker

 

from my eye’s corner

the stare of a hunkrin’ buck

pulls me back to now 🦊❤️

As I walked along in the company of my busy mind, an unexpected onlooker brought me into the moment. 🦊❤️ 

2067. stories in paper

 

from a little square

her skilled fingers fashion forms

that tell a story 🦊❤️

I love being the first to see Yulan’s latest origami creation! She is so dedicated to her paper folding passion. 🦊❤️

2066. opposing views

 

‘neath the sprawling tree

opposing views can be had

…simply pick a seat 🦊❤️

On our morning walk we encountered an interesting sight involving two red Adirondack chairs facing in opposite directions. Between the chairs stood a massive tree… immovable and deeply rooted. The phrase “opposing views” popped into my mind. The state of the world. 🦊❤️

2065. stairway to heaven…

 

life’s such a journey

one thing leads to another

stairway to heaven??? 🦊❤️

Nearly a year ago I started the process of doing everything that needed to be done to be able to have our civil marriage blessed in the Catholic Church that I attended. Many delays and disappointments cropped up along the way as mentioned in a previous post. During that time of delay and disappointment a number of opportunities sprung up that I could never have imagined happening for me with the parish. When it was discovered that I was an artist, I was invited to create a large graphic that would define a wall in the narthex of the church where parishioners leave donations for a number of missions in the Kensington area of Philly. So this week we had our wedding blessed (finally) and my wall graphic was hung. It has been a “heavenly” week!! 🦊❤️ 

2064. ignore the thorns

ignoring the thorns

a monarch butterfly feasts

to its heart’s content 🦊❤️

As I sauntered along, a tiny burst of colors caught my eye.  There on a viciously thorny weed, a beautiful Monarch Butterfly was fluttering and feasting. What a study in opposites… 🦊❤️
