We are so often in a hurry. We commonly take our surroundings for granted. Especially the beauty. I love all types of environments and locales - they each have their own charms and and special appeals. This happens to be in my neck of the woods.
Just an ordinary crisp spring day and a nice walk with my friend Michelle and her grandchildren. But to hang back and observe all the new growth and nature's activity, especially through the kids' eyes, is to appreciate again, and be grateful for, the "little" things in life. Colorful "weeds" are pretty flowers, in their eyes. Bugs and flies and butterflies are amazing and worthy of big squeals.
Their excitement at being in the beautiful outdoors, with every new bend in the road being a new adventure, and everything they see a delight --- that is bliss, that is enchantment. That is what is important. And by creating art, aren't we trying to capture and express our feelings?
So here is a simple card that I hope captures these bright and fun feelings - butterflies in the neighborhood!
And with that.....
.........SWEET DREAMS !!!!!
Oh, yes, so precious! Everything is waking up in the neighborhood right now......It makes me grateful too! Those kids are my joy! Thanks for these pics, Lisa, what a treasure you are. You captured our adventure perfectly!
