A quick look through the photos over the past decade shows
That I enjoyed lots of sunsets —
Often with dogs and sometimes hot air balloons.
And, of course, there is the snowy joy
Of winter – also with dogs –
But sometimes without.
And after winter, the annual spring exlosion
Of sakura cherry blossoms
To remind us to carpe diem.
Life is fragile, like the blossoms, and just as beautiful.
Awesome—2019 in review….. Thanks for sharing your beauty with us week after week.
Hugs and Happy New Year,
Betsy
