A Magnolia Warbler in a Winterberry bush. This migrating warbler wasn't interested in the berries, but the leaves caught this bird's attention. This warbler took a quick bath by getting his/her feathers wet from the wet leaves (too quick for me to get any photos but it was fun to watch.)

Empty worship. Empty hearts.

Apparently crocosmia is related to the iris. One of the few flowering plants in the heat of summer.

Technology doesn’t follow me out here. No pings, no updates, no newsfeed. Just the steady rhythm of now. I never realize how much I need that silence until I’m inside it again. Hello silence, my old friend! #nature

Look over your shoulder. See how far we have come. Spirit has brought us to a quiet spot looking out to a sky that goes on forever. Rest here as long as you want. The tea is good and the cookies are free.

Just when you least expect it, that is when Spirit will surprise you with good news. Just when you need it most, that is when Spirit will provide. Just when you thought you did not have a chance, that is when Spirit appears with a fresh idea. With Spirit, you never have to say never.
