Scenic Journey

Once again, I have been away from this "riverbank" of reflection too long, allowing too many weeks to pass in rather a blur.  Thanks to springtime I have regained an awareness and sensitivity to daily life that can so often be suppressed.

We have spent more time outside in March and April (so far) since they have brought dry and sunny instead wet and cloudy.  We have taken advantage of the well-planned walking paths, the warmth, and the long days.  And, oh, what we have seen along the way!

Lots and lots of daffodils!

Hippopotami at Marwell Zoo!

Pristine gardens at Hampton Court Palace!

Sunny afternoons at the pub!

And adorable little lambs!

Yes!  Oh, what we have seen along the way!  How could I not be sensitive and aware of this scenery, especially when accompanied by a very willing and curious  3 year old who LOVES to walk anywhere at anytime?  It has been warm and exciting and bright and wonderful and engaging and freeing and experiential and fun!  And I anticipate so much more beauty along this ongoing, scenic journey!
