Thank you so much, Eve! 🕊️🙏🦋

Yay! 😻🫶🥰😇

"find your tribe and love them hard
this family we define"

I love this, Aspen - it's so true 🕊️💜

I dunno if this counts, Kaz. My cat (who normally doesn't sit on laps) decided to show me kindness by *insisting* on lap time this morning. She's becoming more of a cuddle critter 😻

Oh, that's so awesome - thanks, MM!😊💚🕊️

A tanka poem written in response to several prompts. Black text on white background. To the left of the poem is a line drawing. To me, it speaks of paths intersecting, once together, now severed and fractured. halcyon days shared innocence and entwined paths but now my tomorrows c r a c k like the sidewalk before me #completethehaiga 107 #TankaThursday | #entwined #haiga #tanka #vss365 | #innocence #vssdaily | #tomorrow

when you are no one
the door opens in your chest-
and the forest walks in

Yet another stunner - thank you 🌲🕊️

😆 That's it! 🐜🔍👀🌏😊

A tiny praying mantis stops and watches me. It was walking along some succulent leaves - its body stark and spindly against the white walls of the house.

A close up of softly backlit bluebells growing off of the shadowy side of a lakeside cliff. The strong sunlight over the lake water just to the side of the cliff’s edge gives the blossoms a luminous appearance.

Cliff side treasures revealed. These lovelies thrive on their rocky vertical base.

Freshly emerged black swallowtail butterfly on an orange daylily. Just before taking first flight!

Parsley emerged just this morning & flew off abt 10 minutes ago. She hung around a lot longer than yesterday’s butterfly. Before she flew, she flew onto my husband’s face then crawled to his head. She sat there for a few minutes before take off! #InsectThursday #insects #MacroPhotography #macro 🦋 🐛

On a peaceful morning 🌄

An etheree poem written in response to several prompts (black text on white background): Soon, my love - come with me. Look at you there, sleeping ‘neath rainbows! At the sight of the sky, yes, of her first scarlet blush, let us continue to erase any soul-worry. The world can wait as we stare at dancing constellations… #moonmystic | sleeping ‘neath rainbows #foxprose | her scarlet blush #vssmagic | erase

rocks now welcome the rush

You're welcome, Amy 😊🕊️✨

A word from quiet hours: 悲しみ（かなしみ）

A window left open,
curtain breathing in the dusk.

Footsteps fade down a corridor
that holds their hush.

The moon rests its face
in the river,
broken but whole.

There is no sharpness,
only the long, low ache
of something held too gently
to remain.

This is *so* me, Elly! I have no idea after all these years how to smile for a photo...so I just avoid any being taken 😊
