In nature nothing is perfect.
“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.”
– Alice Walker
Love a leaf
“Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a leaf. It’s ordinary to love the beautiful, but it’s beautiful to love the ordinary.”
life was beginning over again with the summer.

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Great Gatsby”
A sudden rain
reminding me once again that I’m not in control.

Refuge from the rain.
Look who showed up yesterday on our deck
looking for refuge from the rain.
It was pouring out
and it actually did hail for alittle while.
Flew away a few times while we inquired
but came back right away when we weren’t looking.
Say’s I like it here and I’m staying put.
Watching the rain
Watching the rain is as beautiful as watching the sunset or the sunrise and it is even better because in addition to watching you can also listen to it, the fantastic music of the drop sounds!

A gentle rain
Mama with babies
or maybe daddy I can’t tell the difference.
A great thirst is a great joy
when quenched in time
