I'm still in recovery mode around here. Lack of energy is my greatest problem, so I've only wandered in the woods near the house. Although the pollen is thick, it's still been nice to get outside and walk. As I walked along the familiar path, I began to search for something that I could take numerous pictures of. I've been missing the feel of my camera in my hands! I decided to find a subject I could focus on that was close by and also eye level. Squatting down is definitely not happening right now.
I walked around and around this tree. I studied it and touching it's rough bark and the soft inner wood. My heart did a little pitter-patter when I spotted a heart shape.
As I moved away from the sycamore, I looked at the bark of other trees. If you look closely in the photo below you can see another heart shape. You know if you see one heart you may just find another and . . .
another!
Not all trees are healthy, but even as they die they are beautiful.
I marvel at the beauty in nature that can be found even when my outings are limited and I'm looking at eye level.
