The Treasures in my Neighbourhood

This early morning scene takes my breath away!

Continuing my slow and mindful walks in my neighbourhood,

I was thrilled to see this beautiful clear sky on Saturday.

The crescent moon was just lovely

and the branches seemed to want to retain it a little longer.

It was around 7.30 am and the horizon behind the mountains,

was taking on a pink hue.

I had decided to walk downtown and have breakfast out, always such a treat,

before doing my marketing!

An afternoon stroll up the hill towards some fields,

made me notice these curly seedpods.

The trapped red-brown leaf, caught in their tendrils,

matched the colour of the pods.

Just a little further up the steep hill, I noticed the delicate details of this mossy branch.

This morning, the sky was a little hazy and had taken on an orange pink colour.

The street lights were still lit up.

Although I live in the upper part of town, I can still enjoy the beauty of nature.

I stood in the middle of the road to eliminate all buildings!

When we really look for it, there can be so much beauty wherever we live,

even in a town environment.

It all depends which way we look.

My goal this year is to seek out all the loveliness I can find

and as close to home as possible!
