The Apple Tree

Some of you may recognize this tree.  I have taken a photo of it before in the autumn and it was with bright gold leaves that looked like sunlight sparkling in a golden crown around the tree.  This time it is in full bloom with beautiful white blossoms that are so fragrant that I can smell them a block away. 

As you all know, I walk my dog every day.  So the delight that cam over me when I rounded the corner of the ally and discovered the full blooms on the tree in the small park was an added bonus to the walk.  I couldn't wait for my four legged friend to get done with her "business" so that I could snap some photos and walk over and commune with this delightful friend. 

I am so grateful for the wonders of nature.  Every day, even in the city, if you have open eyes that are willing to see the magic all around you, you will find something amazing.  Things like this bring me such joy in life.  I know that they are simple things, but are not the simplest things the most delightful?  A blooming tree, a baby's smile, a dog's chin on your lap, a beautiful bird flying by....these are all simple things and they are all delightful.

Blessed Be

While on the Dog Walk

 While on my dog walk every morning I find the most fascinating things.  For example, there are these trees in one of the parks that we walk through.  I have altered the photo so that you can see (sort of) what they do.  They have this energy field that reaches out and embraces passers buy.  I first noticed this when I changed my course one day and saw ahead of us this person who was walking past them and then the energy of the trees reached out and embraced him.  He slowed, but did not stop.  Then a woman coming toward us was embraced.  She just stopped, turned and looked at the trees, then continued walking.  By the time my dog and I were at the trees I was ready and willing.  And there it was....the embrace!  We stopped and just stood there for I don't know how long.  It felt wonderful to have such unconditional love flow through me.  My dog also seemed to really like it.  She didn't fuss or fidget, she just stood there and experienced it with me.  Then the energy contracted back to the trees and we made our way home.  But before we left I was able to place a small object at the base of the trees as a token of gratitude.  I absolutely love having experiences like that!

Blessed Be

Technological Challenges

Well, here it is.  I have been so busy that it has been actually months since I have been able to sit down to blog anything.  And now that I am here, the blog site has changed EVERYTHING so that I am a bit lost as to how to do this....and to top it off, my photo program does not seem to allow me to simply go to blog about the photo.  I feel very technologically challenged now.....
If I can't figure this out, then my blog site will be shut down.....angry now.
