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
well no wonder i am not a nature girl... i have to be cleaning in order to stop cleaning to look at it!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteLinda, I'm glad you took the time to stop cleaning and share your lovely thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWe should all take a moment like this every day to look around.
ReplyDeleteA moment kept! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteNature 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.

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to be able to capture details as you do
ReplyDeleteIt'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!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous choice of words. They bring a sense of "painting" alive!
