my inner voice

Spring is the time where we move into open spaces filled with sun and whispers of summer to come. Usually.

So, for all of us to reduce this illness we need to stay put. And that can be non stimulating. Not much to do about that yet we can change how we feel about that.

My inner voice screams, and cries and morns all that has passed these last few weeks. Helpless and not. Not because I can lift my days away from my inner voices of doom by staying active. I am lucky as in isolation, i have a yard to photograph and the beach is yards away. And here in our small complex, we still have enough room to keep social distance and still be able to chat away.

I will try to share a photo or two each day. Stay safe and stay busy. You will know what to do once you quiet the inner voice a bit.

My Wild Garden

 

The joy of a new camera is a new perceptive. Here are some shots of my wild garden.

  Backyard 2013

There is an underground spring winding it’s way though the back yard.  Too wet to plant a garden and the grass is always green all summer long.

The critters sharing the sun but not the chair in the back patio.  The patio is a foundling that was covered with an inch of turf when we moved in.

Spiders are plentiful here.  We use no pesticides nor blanket herbicides. They can rebuild the web in less than an hour. 

 

Dinner for the deer 001

The deer freely use my neighbors yard as a dinner table.  It works for them as the fawns are growing.
