Hi Nature Girl,

You must be very sneaky to get a shot like this!
Thank you so much for stopping by my place & Happy Weekend!

Rose said...

So true! In the last few years I've spent more time paying attention to nature than to the news. It certainly makes for a more positive outlook on life! Thanks for your sweet comments on my last post; hope you are doing well.

Beautiful shots! I must run, but will be back to visit. Sorry about your health issues. My mother had radiation & chemo for cancerous lumps, dad had radiation brain tumour). I have been down that road. I wrote about it and it was very healing. Glad you can share your journey here. It helps - the research proves it!

Anna, you are so good. I can almost feel the peace you carry in your heart.

I wish I'd had that quote when I wrote my post about Harry the Heron a few days ago! It's exactly what I was trying to get across.

Thinking of you daily.

As a fellow cancer survivor, hope and happiness are the best things to focus on.
You have traveled this road before and you know its twists and turns, so the beauty and love that surrounds you will help to keep you strong and focused on the things that are important...
