I've never been one for diamonds or much jewelry, but this early morning at sunrise by the lake, I wish I could have plucked nature's beauty and turned it into a necklace. I am sometimes overwhelmed with emotion, by the simple and graceful beauty of nature.

I am reminded of a quote by one of my favorite authors. “I learned about the sacred art of self-decoration with the monarch butterflies perched atop my head, lightning bugs as my night jewelry, and emerald-green frogs as bracelets.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

It's been fun trying to get a good reflection in a drop! It's like a new game to play......

Waterdrops

We escaped the brisk air today and headed to the conservatory to catch some refreshing air and sights. This wonderful plant was recently watered.

In my fantasy world, I see a man and a dog ;-)
