Without the walk
with the talk
actions are fraught
in empty naught.
Walk your talk
solid and true
for those around you
to believe in you.
Otherwise you aint
but a taint
in this world
a blight
a nuisance
ζ
an empty shell
rattling
in your own hell.

Why else does the butterfly break free?
~~~~~
This Spring/Summer is the first break I’ve had in almost 3 years from my intense and exhausting care of our very ill and dying cats. I am jumping in with both feet, going to places I haven’t been able to on account of caring for those whose lives are coming to an end. That being said, it is not possible for me to be here and fully immersed in life at the same time.
Those places that I have been going to, and will continue to go to, many times I am bringing my cameras with me in order to show you where I’ve been. Yesterday I visited Knox Farms, my new Paradise found! A post will be coming shortly about this incredible place that brings with it, my Bliss. It has everything …. ponds, meadows, forest. And it is huge so that the chance of me getting bored are slim to none.
Yes there are consequences to our actions or inactions. For me to pursue my passion in walking this Beautiful Earth documenting Mother’s Perfection as I go, that means time away from here. When I am here, however, I will be fully present or as close to that as I can. Keep in mind, I am presently caring for eight special needs fur [cat] babies that for this Moment, are relatively stable. Flow with me as I morph into the Change that is upon me.

Aw, thank you, Miriam. Yes I am in a season of change and just going with it. It’s been so difficult not being able to travel to places I would like to, much less travel, but at least right now I’m packing in as many places as I can while the going is good. My next adventure was in the GREAT OUTSTANDING category. Tween the flowers everyone wants to see and this adventure I have to think how best to proceed. Double major going on ….. teehee …… 💖💖💖

You are so welcome, Dan! To be free to be able to fly as I want to, I’m treasuring every moment I can! To find my new “paradise” is a bonus I did not see coming. Oh for the JOY!! I have so many places I plan on visiting this Summer ….. YES!!

Thank you, Hien! I’m trying to figure out how best to post flower pictures AND my pics from my new adventures. Time. See I’d rather be outside with my camera chasing the adventures then sitting here at my laptop. Perhaps I will do the chasing now and do many posts in the slower months during winter. Perhaps.

Yes, Donna, I’ve earned that freedom, and then some. I am taking full advantage of this season and running with it. I have so many other places planned to go to and darn it, I will go to ever single one! I’m so thankful my cats are relatively stable right now, with yes, a few problems here and there, but nothing what it can be like. I can breathe again and smile again and laugh again and feel JOY again! I will have a great week, thank you! You do the same!! And I also thank you regrading commenting on the message. Not many people did. Bless you! Much Love to you! 💜💜💜

Beautiful photos. I appreciate the transformative metaphor of butterflies, so it’s fitting that you should have that photo in this post. You are doing the work of angels for your feline friends.

Good for you, Rob! You “got it” why I used the butterfly as a metaphor. I’m doing the work for my babies out of Love. If that makes me an Angel, fine. Perhaps I’m working on a few more sparkles or stripes on my wings. (wink!) Much Love to you this day!! 🦋🦋🦋

You need those fabulous breaks from all that cat stress. When you’re caring for them it’s like being on the edge of a sharp knife, at least for me. You never know if you’re balanced or going to fall off. Stressful and your photographs are calming and serene. I hope everyone is okay. I know they’re happy. ❤

Thank you, dear friend. Your words are perfect on what I experience in the nightmare that is encased all around me when someone I Love is dying. You know. You’ve lived it. Stressful to the max! I have this break now and boy I’m taking it for all I can get out of it while I can. Everyone here is relatively stable, Gigi. I have a few problems here and there, but nothing (yet) to the magnitude that I know it could be. Bless you for understanding!! (((HUGS)))!!! I’m so happy you could stop by to enjoy my images. 💜💜💜

What you’re living though is so impossible…yet it has to be done. Always waiting for something to happen, seems silly, but it’s hard not to feel that way. Love your pictures and much love to you and the babies.

Oh My!!! Looks like a grand new place to explore…Aren’t you on the move these days! So glad it is happening for you….We’ve had glorious sun so I’m hoping you as well have been enjoying it. I had an entire myrtle bed to weed out as it was overgrown with knee high weeds and shrubs….It’s tough going but I only have about a third left but I’m done for the day as pushing myself is not good. It’s not going anywhere lol….Have a happy week AR and have fun exploring! Hugs and love….VK ❤

It is a grand new place to explore, VK!! I am SO excited about this park. It is huge, and it is gorgeous. Nowhere I have seen more birds then here …. Sun has been out here today YAY again, and I do plan on visiting this new place a bit just for a walk. No cameras. My heavy gardening is done for now until I have to prune and fertilize. Until then I play! (((HUGS)))!! ☺️

Thank you, Mary. Yes I did use the oil painting filter and from what many have said, it is not as it could be. I have a video on how a “professional” artist uses this filter and it is so complicated my eyeballs roll. So I just do as best as I can with how I know to use this filter. Glad you enjoyed and I inspired you. Have a great Sunday! 🌟🌟🌟
