Discoveries with Dougall 19 Grey to pink

The sky is grey and ominous a bit like the world and my roots - but what we need to focus on is our smiles. Look at these grey buds because however dark the sky, however dark they are, when the bud opens you cannot but smile. Sharing for smiles.

Dougall has discovered trees and sniffed every one we went past. He rose up on his hind legs and looked to see what he could find. Luckily, nothing. The water dragons he loves chasing are faster then he is and they manage to escape. This is one of the trees he stopped at and as  I came close I noticed this delicate leaf of pale yellow swinging in the wind on a spider's thread. It swung like a pendulum but it was not marking time. 

These lovely pink lanterns appeared on the walk - literally in the space of a day. So we begin the four day weekend staying at home, enjoying each other's company and our environment, being mindful to be kind to one another and understanding of the additional pressures and anxiety in the world, especially for those who are alone. Reach out where you can virtually and whole heartedly. I leave you today with the  light filtering through this plant and the changing sky- it radiates warmth, strength and beauty.
