Small Wonders from my Walks

Queen Anne's Lace flower seeds

Enclosed in a perfect cage of stalks.

A thistle head after the flower has finished blooming

so beautiful against the soft background.

Little tendrils of a climbing plant looking for somewhere to latch on

and climb as high as they can go.

A late blooming aquilegia that I lifted gently

to photograph the underside.

Walking in the woods to keep cool on a hot day,

I noticed the dappled shadows of the overhead trees

and how a fallen leaf came to my attention in a sunny spot.

I also noticed two sunny heart-shapes formed by the shadows of the leaves.

A bright poppy growing on the grass verge by the roadside

illuminating my early evening walk.

As I walked up the hill in the early morning, 

I put my camera through some railings to capture some Shasta Daisies

in the long grasses at the far end of a garden.

I do love the wild spots that are dotted everywhere.

Above the rooftops and behind the clouds, the sunrays draw lines in the sky.

This lovely tree-hanging made of stones and a heart-shaped

HAPPY

is a good reminder!

Though when we notice all the little wonders around us,

a reminder isn't really necessary, is it?
