When we remember
that we are Love
our Hearts become centered
our Essence shines bright.

I miss you all something fierce. It seems so long since we have really spoken and I have done my blog rounds.
I Love each one of you so much, cherishing you as the Greatest Gifts I have been given in Life. You have taught me so much about relationships, and for this, I am deeply grateful. I was not taught much of anything about healthy relationships as a child, and what I have learned I have taught myself (and still learning). Yet, without you in my Life, I honestly would not have the understanding of what friendship means nor what healthy relationships mean.
You have given me so much. Please know I carry each of you in my Heart, and think of you often. I will be back in full swing in WP Land before you know it. Any among you who garden, know the effort I am putting forth right now.
Love, (((HUGS))), and kisses, Amy
Gorgeous Amy, love the coloration.

Yes, I was just thinking of you so glad you decided to post this morning. Love this one Amy! I hear that purple and yellow are opposites on the color spectrum so I always appreciated how the two complement each other. Notice also a bit of intentional blurring so I wonder if you used your macro lens on this one? Your garden must be coming along really nicely!

My point of focus was at the center of this flower, and due to the f/stop I had my camera on, the blurring was intentional. All I wanted was that tiny center to be crystal clear. Believe me, that center is tiny. I am amazed I was able to do this shot. Have a good day, Marissa. I must dress very warm today for it is extremely chilly here. I hope to complete my front rose garden today, then I start on all my backyard gardens. This is my eighth garden. Love, Amy 🌹💞🌹

Oh yes, and don’t get my wrong Amy, absolutely love it and I’m sure that anything you do in your shots is intentional. It just through me a little because I was getting used to the crystal clear of the macro and I was wondering why you chose to mix it up. Now I see the capturing of the crystal clear center in contrast with the blurred petals. It really works well. Stay warm in your garden!!

Oh, Chris, don’t worry about it. Really! I am not officially blogging now due to reopening my gardens. In fact, I just came in from outside, moaning and groaning, wanting very much to call it a day, but, my goal is to get the garden I am working on mulched. That way it will be finished and I can move on to another one. It is just so darn cold here (again) and this body of mine does not function well in cold. Hence, the groaning. We will have plenty of time to catch up. Be well! Be happy! Love, Amy ❤

Amy I so understand.. I know I always feel guilty when I am absent for a while.. but our gardens do not do themselves.. and Spring is the busy time of year..
I too have not been around as often, as my hubby hurt his back pulling out a large shrub root on a neighbours allotment as he gave him a hand.. So I have been needed all the more to help out…
Love and Hugs, and so love your close ups in micro.. I am smiling here as I have my camera here all ready to load some photos I took yesterday, close up in miniature LOL Hope to have them posted for this weekend..
Take care, do not work too hard.. Love and Blessings Sue xxx ❤

I have to work on the “guilt” myself. Even though I am sharing beautiful images and wisdom as well, I don’t like the “feeling” of not returning the honor of my work being viewed by going to blogs. Yes, gardens are a huge undertaking. I’m on break right now, coming in to get something to eat, then finishing up with the garden I am in. So sorry to hear about hubby’s back. That can be really serious. Chiropractor perhaps? Best of luck with your camera. I’ve already scouted around and know what I plan on capturing next. That and I still have images to show you yet!

I am pacing myself, my friend. It’s been slow going for me this year. The weather has turned chilly and this body does not do well in chilly. I’ve come in to get a bite to eat and then plan on turning around to lay mulch in, in the garden I have been working on for 2 days. I have a before pic and will be taking an after pic. Perhaps I will post them to get everyone to understand how huge some of my gardens are. And yes, I am using knee pads. (smile) And applying lineament to my back. (smile) Love you! Amy ❤
