the plum blossoms gone,
they look older than they are,
ancient cottage eaves.

Echoes of my Neighborhood
Yesterday, I went walking at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Everything has sprung!! I came upon this show at the lilly pond where there was a visitor.
The attendant said there’s usually two of them that visit every day.
And that they didn’t live there
It was amazing to watch!!
He put on quite a show. The odd thing was, he stayed right between these two lilly pads. Even with all his antics!!
He said a harty goodbye before taking flight.

Nature’s hoax!!??
Whenever I see a new baby I can’t help but be drawn to the ever precious interaction between parent and child. There is nothing like it. Unconditional love in its purest form. Yet, this memory is destined to be lost to this new center of your universe forever!!
Or, what if!!??
What if…we all had full recall of those very early days. What kind of a person would we be? What kind of world would we live in? Love! Love! Love!
Something to think about:)
Yes, I know. What has all this to do with the photo? Nothing! Other than the pure beauty of the setting sun, and just pondering.

Oh, finally found a photo of a brand new cutie-pie 🙂 I don’t get the thing with the feet either, but they’re awfully cute!!!!

He was striking a pose! He just stood there and let me take his picture. When he was done, he moved on.
