I was inspired by cpcable over at A Life Sustained to take a walk out in my neighborhood and try as I might to locate some beauty. It was tough, I'll admit. There was a lot of garbage (next time I'll bring a garbage bag), but we did manage to find a few things. Also, it was raining which was great. Not only because we need it desperately, but because it kept us from sweating to death. Thanks to cpcable and barefoot crofter (you made a comment on cpcable's post that really made me think) for forcing me to look a little harder and to appreciate the small things. (Note: I had to create this post with the old image editor which is why my photos aren't as large. Has anyone else had trouble today with uploading images? Also, if you're wondering about the pic with the tree, there is a squirrel at the top. He ran away as I was trying to take his picture.)
I see his little squirrely butt ;-). So glad you've had rain and found some beauty at home.
ReplyDeleteI see the squirrel! Nice action shot! :) I'm so glad that you were able to find some beauty in your surroundings. I especially love the pepper!
ReplyDeleteThe pepper was from my yard (that can be part of our walk right? lol) it was a very beautiful sight to see that pepper happy. he had been so wrinkly and sad.
ReplyDeleteI get super uptight when people throw trash everywhere. Just where do they think it ends up. Anyway, love the shots of your walk and your cuties!
ReplyDeleteI love how we get these glimpses into each other's worlds. It makes the Earth that bit cosier . Thank you for mentioning me there :). I always try to remember to bring a trash bag - seems to be everywhere. xxx
