Defiant and Proud šŸ’™šŸ’›

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." Bertrand Russell

 

I know I am not alone in struggling to make sense of what is happening in the world right now. Watching the news in disbelief, feeling so helpless as dictator Putin seeks to obliterate Ukraine & the proud Ukrainian people. Heart-breaking to see exhausted, bewildered people carrying their children, belongings & pets, leaving on buses to an uncertain future. When will this nightmare end?

 

The sight of a Gorse bush, resplendent in the spring sunshine, prompted me to take this photo today. Gorse produces these beautiful flowers from October onwards, defying the worst of the harsh winter weather. It defends itself from attackers with spikey foliage. Brighter days do come šŸ’™šŸ’›
