Transitions. We all know them. The phases of Life when we leave behind an aspect of our Lives to begin a new one. Both frightening and exciting, these phases, depending on our perspective, can lead to New Horizons of New Worlds. We can go to those New Horizons kicking and screaming, or we can elect to go with a Trust and a Calm, knowing that everything will somehow eventually stabilize, balance out, and bring to us another Branch of our Dreams.
I know of one such person who has entered the Transition Phase of Life. Kathy , my dear friend, as you settle into your new home, know that what lies ahead of you, is nothing short of Miraculous. May this photograph somehow speak to your Soul to bring to you, Peace, and a refreshing of your weariness.
For all of you going through Transitions at this time of your Life, may this image below bring to you sustenance as well. Please do enjoy!! This was taken early this morning, with my Canon 50D combined with my EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens.

Bless you for your comment, my friend. The Purpose of Petals is to allow those who come here to interpret my posts on the level they understand. I think outside of the box, so am able to accept all who come to Petals. Your interpretation is beautiful and appropriate for you. My sister who is a Believer, has over time, accepted me for who I am and what I am doing, and she can see the difference I do make. My Hope is that you as well see the GOOD I do without mentioning any religion. May your day truly BE Blessed for Blessing me. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

Amy, I want to respond a certain way and I’m hesitant to but I see the comment you left directly above mine about allowing those who come here to interpret posts on the level they understand. Amy, to me, there is something distinctly dark and eerie in this picture. As someone who isn’t particularly religious, religion has always had a bit of a dark side and to me this photo captured it. I actually love it!! Amazing work! Although, must add, hope that was not offensive as I had not intention of offending anyone, most especially you!!

Marissa, you, my friend, could never insult me or offend me. You have every right to interpret this image in the way that it speaks to you! I deliberately stay away from religion both here at Petals and in my personal Life. How I choose to live is for me, and again I have not the right to preach to anyone about those beliefs. I Love your comments, and respect the way you think. If you see dark in this image, then that is for you to see! THIS is the reason why I allow freedom here for all to interpret as they will. Free will ….. that is our birth right. What I felt was Peace in the Moment I captured this. Yet with this too, I can see Beauty in places some are not able to. That’s just me. (smile) No worries, Marissa. None whatsoever. Thank YOU for BEing genuinely YOU. Love, Amy ❤

I’m doing the same, Kathy. It might be a few days before I post again, because I am rolling up my sleeves and working in my Mother Garden. I want this over with! And then I have to turn around, keep weeding, fertilize, do a root flush for my roses (for insects), and always keep an eye out for critters who like to eat my flowers. So I spray with Liquid Fence. But the MAJOR part of all this regarding gardens will be behind me. *HUGE SIGH* (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

Liquid Fence is an all natural product that repels deer and rabbits from eating your flowers. Some of the other “scents” are for other critters, cats being one of them. This works, Kath. The only down side, is, when it rains, you have to reapply. It can get tiring when it rains a lot. But this product has saved my Roses from the deer, and now my Tulips from the rabbits. I got about 1/2 done in my Mother Garden, more then I thought I would today. I’m ready to drop though. When this is over, I probably will be on the couch for a few days. 🙂 Seems the um “age issue” is being an issue this year. I hope not. I hope it is just the adjustments I have been getting from my chiropractor, who is really stirring the “bees”. Big (((HUGS))) to you too!!! ❤

Good to know on the Liquid Fence. I sure can relate to you with the age or the adjustments. I went to a chiropractor twice a month for several years and it really helped. Haven’t been to one since we moved and need to find a good one here. So many to choose from. BIG HUGS to you also ❤

I really “lucked out” on the one I am going to now. I was referred by someone who I like and trust. I had been seeing a Chiropractor for years, but he left a bitter taste in my mouth, so for a LONG time, I avoided them. This man is amazing me what he is already doing for me. I will keep you in my Heart, Kathy, that somehow the perfect Chiropractor will either be referred to you, or you will cross paths with. All things are possible when we hold a “vision” and have a deep faith in our Hearts that this too shall happen!!! 🙂 Love, Amy ❤
