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~

Barn Swallows, Butterflies and Sunrise~


The photograph above and many of the wildflowers and butterflies in this post were taken at the Parklands.
The city of Louisville took 3 large parks and joined them to form this gigantic single park.

First things first!
I so apologize for never making it to very many blogs for a visit this past week.  
Our oldest daughter Hillary and her husby Andrew are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in New York City this week.  
Their twin 5 year old sons, as well as our daughter Brittany's 6 year old son have all been with us this week. 
It has been quite delightful and at the same time, makes me realize, I am not getting any younger.  Whoosh, we had 3 daughters and they played with dolls and dress up and could entertain themselves for hours.  
For these 3 young men, they are on constant go ;) 
On the left is Braden who will begin 1st grade in 2 weeks and the twins will begin K class.
That is Cullen on the left and his brother Kerrick on the right~

All of the Barn Swallow images were taken at my favorite Foxhollow Farm~



A Green Heron thought it was hiding from me, and actually it really was doing a nice job.  
This one was at the Parklands~








I caught a quick glimpse of an American Goldfinch on the grounds at the Parklands.  
Too far away to try and get more~





The Black Swallowtail and garden images here were taken in Mona's garden, across the lane from me~
