crosby farm park hopping.....

deep, deep, deep into the forest my friends rose (right), kathy (left) and i went....

on a nature walk and park hopping experience.

the forest is lush and dreamy and magical and i really just wanted to lay down in the middle of it and let mother earth hug my lovely~self.

but we kept walking ~~~~>

until we reached the river....the mississippi river to be exact.

my eye wandered ~~~>~>>~~>

i love the rocks pressed in the sand....

the mix of shapes, colors and sizes.

mmmm.....and the sand in itself is dreamy.

we stayed for 2 hours down by the river.

catching up with eachother

enjoying the warmth of the sun,

acknowleging

how grateful we each were

to be our true selves

no illusions...

and

laughing

and

just

being.

no worries..

no cares...

we just

were.

until we WERE

hungry

and had to go eat thai food ~*~*~~

Pamela

bliss...

no one saves us but ourselves.  no one can and no one may.  we ourselves must walk the path.

~buddah~

mmmmm...walking in my own~~~~>~~~>

love~for~love

church....

i went for a walk on sunday morning.....most people go to church....i do too....mine is in nature rather than in a building.....and usually i have my camera in hand to capture what brings a feeling of beauty, gratitude and joy in my~lovely~self....and often times i can often find a simple story or message in my experience...

my neighbor children have been busy over the last several months building this "rock castle".  it is tucked away behind some trees...i love looking for it when i start out on my walk....wondering if they have added to it again.  FINALLY i am photographing it.  it has grown ever so slowly....a very nice "zen castle".  i love stacked rocks and could sit forever looking at the colors, sizes and textures of the rocks....but i would imagine they would wonder why the new neighbor lady is sitting on the sidewalk staring at their yard and rock castle.  thank you neighbor children....for unknowingly offering someone something to look forward to on any given day....it puts a smile on my face everytime i see it.

this is where i sat in church today....i wrote about dandelions in a previous post....it was the perfect seat....on a hill over looking this....

mmmm....it was a windy day and the wind had much to say....i just sat in silence and listened....noticing how peaceful and calming the scenery was....and on occasion i would ponder....oh look...there is a crabapple tree blooming...if the wind was blowing in the other direction i could catch the scent....i love the scent of crabapples in the spring...and where are those geese i saw earlier swimming around...and the cattails are waving in the wind...i wonder if when they grow in if the old brown ones are still visible behind the waves upon waves of green...and i wonder if the algae starts to smell in the dead of summer....and wow this is a perfect place to be on a sunday spring morning...then i realized....

i live in the country again....
