one of the flowers of a lovely bouquet, the first to wilt - the stem was slightly bent and broken. I cut off the stem near the blossom and put the flower in a small jar with water so that I could enjoy it a bit longer ... but it's wilted completely now

Happy Caturday and hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend... and all those effected by the nor'easter, stay safe!!!
My passion flower tropical plant seems to have adjusted to living life indoors.... she continues to grow and bloom.... you can actually watch these flowers open... this one was a bud in the morning and before long... fully open!!
from my garden...
A friend gave me a little pot with this plant a few years back... now it is a huge clump in the front of my house...
Frosty morning and blindingly bright on this new little rhododendron plant.
Thanks for looking.

Yet another shot from my creek bank session. Here, I really like the light and the bokeh, where the grass produced a bokeh that seems to add some movement to the background. I hope you like it too!

I got up early and embarked on an early morning stalk, I mean, walk around the narrow alleys of Amsterdam.
You are taking one courageous step after another down the healing road. While these are healthy steps, it’s intensely challenging to face the unknown and experiences so terrorizing that your mind wisely blocked them out for the sake of your survival. This is too much to handle alone and it’s important to remember that God’s presence surrounds you in each moment and you have the gift of your small though incredibly mighty group of supporters. Things are unclear, difficult, scary, require a tremendous amount of perseverance, and when you reflect on the past the healing process is evident, encouraging and certainly worth the effort it requires.

Recently I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.
