Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better. – Albert Einstein
I thought you might enjoy these photos I took at the lake last weekend. Nature has a way of dazzling me with its simple beauty.
The wild Columbine was in bloom:
I didn’t notice the bee until later…
I even found this dandelion beautiful:
So I created this page in my turquoise journal that I showed you yesterday:
May you pause today and find beauty in nature’s simple pleasures!
Wishing you a sunny Sunday, friends! 🙂
Lovely addition to your journal. I love dandelions. I’ve never thought of them as weeds. To me, they’re bright little bursts of color decorating the grass. I think they’re beautiful.

I feel the same! I sort of struggle with it…tend to avoid trees and flowers. Hmm…might make that my challenge next month then! Hehe…that’s one way to get over it!

Very pretty! The dandelion is such a happy little flower. We used to call that kind “wishies” because you blow on them and make wishes!
