Catching up, part 3

Back to work tomorrow, after the wettest vacation in memory, recent or long-term.

This afternoon, though, the sun is shining as I tie up various loose ends. During this vacation, I felt a need to catch-up, clean-up and take stock. So now I'll share with you a final "catch-up" post: sidewalks, curbs and fences of my neighbourhood and the lovely things that grow along them.

I hope all is well with you in your parts of the world and the living things that surround you are thriving despite the odds and obstacles.

These are all so pretty. I'm especially smitten with the first.

Thank you, Denise. I loved the determination of that lone Aquilegia to bloom in such a rough and rocky place.

I love the light and shadows in these photos!

[Elaine]

Thank you, Kateri. So lovely to hear from you. I was thinking about you and Diana yesterday when I visited my community garden plot and my mind wandered to your blogs -- which I'm so overdue to visit. See you soon!

I love that you've spotted all these treasures Elaine. It just shows how we are surrounded by beauty, we just have to see it.

Thank you, Kathryn, for taking time to enjoy the beauty with me. So true, it surrounds us. I fear, though, many are missing it as they're busy looking down at tiny screens as they walk along the sidewalks.
