I felt a bit bad taking a photo of a dead butterfly yesterday on the road. I did this watercolor sketch of the wing as a remembrance. Grateful to be stopped in my tracks by a living one this morning. (The Queen butterfly image is a photo... likely also to become a watercolor.)

Lots of pondering in what began as a sprig of tiny pink flowers.

It was all about the yellow petals

Is it You who calls in the whisper of a water drop, in the invitation of a leaf furl? I listen. I look. Lessons of light and dark I contemplate, and in time, try to share.

A journey of 5,001 miles deserves one image from the road! Here it is, the final page in my travel journal, a look at cypress trees from I-10.

After this, there’s just one more page in my vacation journal. I had a hunch that these lily pads from Wompatuck State Park would make it in. I’ve always been fond of lily pads.

One of our daily rituals while on family vacation in Maine was walking down the road to watch the sunset.

We have come full circle, returning to the campgrounds at Village Creek State Park in TX that hosted our first night three weeks ago. According to Jim’s tally, 4753 miles have been driven and tomorrow’s final number once home will be 4971 (unless we stop at the lavender farm north of Brenham, which will add a few more.)

We enjoyed a hike to the falls at @chewacla.statepark in Alabama.
