While on my walk I noticed this sap… it caught the light and shone like little jewels.
This tiny snake tried so hard to be perfectly still and hide in the grass by a pond I found on my hike today. He was so pretty, I took several photos of him, but this is my favorite.
I saw this fallen tree covered in these woody fungus and the colors and the perspective just struck me… so many things on my walk today made me stop and take a closer look.
I have some days that all I see are thorns and the lush green and soft browns fade into the background… I used to call it “The view from the pit.” I am glad to stop, now, and look at the thorns… It is how I survive…how I heal.
Thank you for taking a walk with me. I hope you find unexpected beauty all around you.
