Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

Raindrops Upon Fallen Leaves~

Walking in the dark before sunrise, and taking in the wonderful sweetness of falling rain.  As I went along, and came under a bit of glow from street lamps above, I used my old trusty Canon Power Shot A 650 set on macro to grab up a few images for my morning efforts.  I have been on a 12 week weight loss program, to get healthier and have lost 27 pounds and most amazingly 37.5 inches...they measure everything from the neck to the ankles to come up with this grand total. I feel so much better and shall continue on with my new lifestyle, for I want to be around a while longer.  Cheers my friends, have a grand day wherever you are, stay well, stay safe~

    What a superb set of photographs Mary and how clever and inventive of you to get them. I don't think I could have ever come up with those images. My maths makes that over 2lbs a week, couldn't do that either. Have a great weekend Mary.
