Nature is filled with wonders- we only have to open our eyes to behold the beauty.
This week’s #SundayStills #challenge from Terri Webster Schrandt is Near and Far. You can join in here.
Above is a photo taken last summer looking from the back of our postage stamp yard, forward. See the apple? First year tree and already producing!
Upon closer reflection, I found this cute little guy wandering the leaves.
My girl, soaking up the sun.
Hide and seek.
Our jungle.
Enjoying nature’s bounty.
Sometimes, it’s necessary to slow down and just breathe ❤

Those greens and purples are gorgeous. I don’t think there are any richer colors than found in nature.

The garden is lovely. The cat is a cutie. I could deal without creepie crawlies and frightening fliers, but I know they’re a valuable part of the ecosystem. I’m choosing to focus on the cat and the flowers. 🙂
