Day 20 and 3WW

Picture Reflected Stop
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


The faintest chartreuse
on the gray hillsides

Rust-colored baby leaves
on our neighbor’s tree

Pregnant green buds
on the lilac bush

I stop cleaning long enough
to take a mental picture

of life reflected
in these hints of color

We should all take a moment like this every day to look around.

Nature always has something to share with those of us willing (like yourself) to stop and look at it. Thanks for sharing such beautiful images. I love this time of year because so much life and color enters my senses. Have a nice day.

It's wonderful to be able to capture details as you do

It's always so nice to stop and be in the moment with our surroundings. I find cleaning to bring me back to the tiny details. Good job!

Gorgeous choice of words. They bring a sense of "painting" alive!
