all that was will be again and again…

 

may as many flowers possible bloom for you...
a soft focus of clouds on the surface of the pond...
too many dreams to follow and know...
all that was will be again and again...
all that was will be again and again... 5-24-16
all that was will be again and again... 5-24-16 b
On the railroad bed walkway-bike path the pretty view in one stretch... 5-24-14
a tree gathering light before the day ends...
a light breeze through the new leaves....
the peace in the garden within the garden
Fall Creek bathed in sun near Flat Rocks today... and there were people in the water... first swimmers seen for me this year... although they may have just been wading. 5-24-14
