A bit late for the first coffee of the day, but it looks like it'll do the trick 🥰

I'm spending a lot of time visiting the hospital at the moment and it only reinforces my conviction that investing in plantings at public buildings is vital 😍

My current whereabouts
The shot is mostly clear blue sky. Taken at the beach, looking towards the water. Several small sailboats are entering the water and people are milling around them.

Three minutes scrolling my feed and despair at the state of the world seems perfectly reasonable.

In case you're feeling that too, here are the spectacular cactus flowers from the hole in the wall I got my (yummy) dinner from last night

Breakfast of ... OK, just my breakfast today 😋

Come, stand with me for a moment
Feel the clear, cool water pulse across your feet
See the tiny fishes darting to and fro
Bask in the sunshine, warm on your back
Take it all in
Breathe deeply
And know it is for moments like this that we live

Look, I know it won't fix anything, but it's a pretty nice moment of reprieve 😂

Well, they may have stolen the quietest, most beautiful hour of the day from me, but there are still things with which to nourish the spirit 🥰
A sunrise shot. Mostly clear sky, with some wispy clouds. Silhouettes of trees and buildings across the bottom edge. The sky is a gradation from dark blue at the top to intense orange against the horizon.

View across a wide river at sunrise. Old wooden boats are moored in the foreground. Everything is flushed golden orange.
