Sometimes, you just know that the weather is about to take a turn for the worse. You can just feel it in the air.

These two — wild things — are my mom’s babies. She calls them her posy and they hang out by her side as she continues to recovery from her hip replacement. Don’t mess with them, or they’ll pounce on you.

My so-called “daily photo” project is anything but daily. I shouldn’t be surprised. Ten years ago, when I last took on this exercise, the world of blogging was quite different. It was easier to create for the audience was plentiful and personable. I felt like I knew everyone who’s blog I read and who was reading my blog. There was an interaction, an exchange of ideas, opinions, encouragement. And this fueled my passion to create. Now-a-days, I am not even sure if anyone is reading at all.

Nevertheless, I persist.

I took this photo just after I desperately-needed, long-postponed chiropractic adjustment. In the initial period after my adjustment, I was not magically freed of my back pain. It lingered or persisted.

So, I went for a walk before getting back in my car to head home. The movement, as it usually does, helped me find some separation from the discomfort. I took in my surroundings and counted my blessings as went.

The photo doesn’t do it justice but this ordinary bush looked really pretty as the light hit it just so.
