How Susan Got Her Groove Back

When Real Life gets in my way, the best escape for me is Outside.

An hour at Lake Isabella did wonders for my mood.

019
I feel like the only person in the world when I am there.

023
The sycamores stretched upwards into a perfectly clear sky. I felt the cobwebs in my mind blow away.


Little Miami sparkle
A million sparkles in the Little Miami dazzled me and brought tears to my eyes.
(Verklempt)


024
I couldn't decide if I wanted to be out in the open or dappled in random beams.



Baby robin
Two scolding robins alerted me to one sweet baby, knobby head quivering on a wobbly neck, like a perfect yellow blossom nodding on its stem.

I tried to capture my glowing mood with a self-portrait, something I never do.

Not even close.

When in doubt, go to the woods. And remember:
Be Yourself

What is it about sun sparkling on water? ican't look at it without smiling. This is a lovely tribute to the healing power of nature. Cleansing power, too.

I agree, nature heals all. Glad it made you feel better, and your photos made me feel real happy, too.
