While with my sister today, I saw a beautiful bush caught in the sun with bright new green leaves and gushed at the sight to her. She said she didn't know how we were made of the same DNA. Not that she doesn't love beauty in nature, but it's been a long standing difference between us, how much I can love a rock...or some ol' pine cone. She likes the big ones, like the ocean and the Sun and how it sets. When I get excited about something down in the dirt, she just doesn't get it.
On my walk home I found a stick that I decided to take home and add to my vase of collected sticks, of course, and felt only a bit like a dog with a found treasure when I made a quick stop at the grocery store. I must have been a sight...hair all wild and bushy, camera hanging from my neck, stick swinging from hand. Personally, I firmly believe it was everyone else who was the sight...all manicured and proper, packaged meats in buggy, no found treasure from walk in ravine on gorgeous spring day!
Here's what they missed...
And here is what a seahorse and caterpillars offspring would look like if it mated with a tree...
love.this.post. I too can get maudlin at the sight of an unexpected sunburst, or or a particularly nice leaf. I do draw the line at bringing it all home (frankly,my apartment would do these things no justice), but each to her own. Love it Deb.
