Joy & Signs of Hope

 I am calling this series – Joy & Signs of Hope.

 

There are not many uplifting things in the news these days, so I decided to do a little more posting on the blog.  Seeing things of beauty can bring a little joy to all of us at this time.  So, in addition to the many regular postings here, over the next months I will do my part to brighten up your day with many recent photos taken of the beauty that lives here all year, Spring through Winter in the Gardens at Waters East.

I am calling these special postings – Joy & Signs of Hope.

 

Hope this helps!

Humming Bird - scared but safe!

This Humming Bird hit one of the windows – but we saved it.

It was stunned for about an hour.

We placed it in a small box and within an hour it was able to recuperate and fly away.

Nice.
