. stand tall with like-minded others. stand proud with your sisters and brothers. stand together - hold hands, even! stand strong for what you believe in. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #NaturePhotography #Foxgloves #Nature #Photography #Poem #StrongerTogether #TakeAStand #StandStrong #PowerToThePeople

to stop and smell the roses is not merely a simple idiom, nor a silly cliché, but truly a way of life to aim to attain; a slowing, a calming, and at once a relishing and a basking, a soaking in of the depths of Beauty this worldly existence has to offer. #BloomScrolling #Poem #Rose #Photography

to sit with a person you consider a friend in her garden on a sunny afternoon and do your best to catch up after 45+ years of life have gone by that was a fun way to spend part of this day! in person, real life connection is such a treasured commodity in this day and age! #BloomScrolling #Poetry

. quiet moments of rest, of contemplation, of rejuvenation are necessary especially when the road ahead is arduous and long. take all the quiet moments you need and then rise up again and make a difference in the world once more. #NaturePhotography #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #Ladybug #Nature #Poetry

. an anniversary a sensitive soul a challenging year a compassionate heart Life. circles and waves undulating through time. a rebuilding. a new beginning. again. a remembering. and forgetting not. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #Forget-me-nots #Poem #NaturePhotography #MacroPhotography #Flowers

. lift your face to the light. appreciate the moment. breathe. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #NaturePhotography #Nature #Photography #MacroPhotography #PoemOfTheDay #Poem

some days you just need to dig in and get s#%! done! take care of business! check things off The List! keep a Tada! List instead of never-ending To Do lists. acknowledge your accomplishments, no matter how small. it takes a lot of specks of pollen to make honey. #BloomScrolling #Poem #Pollinator

something almost regal feeling here. something definitely strong and free. something deeply steeped in proud, royal hues. today, together, we stand united. #NaturePhotography #PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #Photography #Nature #PacificOcean #Islands #SalishSea #King #Canada #StrongAndFree #ProudCanadian

. when raindrops fall we have no choice but to simply let them. we know the rain has its purpose. when teardrops come it helps to know that they, too, have a purpose. we can learn to accept them like we do the rain and simply let them fall. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #Raindrops #Photography #Nature

mesmerized by this miniature speck of sweet beauty today. she left smiles in the wake of her rapid scurrying along slender blades of grass. she left calm in my otherwise frazzled nervous system. she made my day. I wonder if she knows. #PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #NaturePhotography #Ladybug #Nature

. glorious. joyful. radiant. some days feel like that. other days, not so much. so, when you find yourself having one of those days, of the brighter variety, it’s ok just let yourself glow! feeling good feels good. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #Flowers #Photography #NaturePhotography #Poem #Nature

May we learn to speak our truth when our truth needs to be spoken. May we learn to hold our peace when silence is what’s best suited to a given situation. May we trust our inner wisdom to know which best fits when. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #NaturePhotography #Poem #Photography #WildRoses #Nature

Canada Strong. Elbows up. #PowerOfBoycott #CanadaResists #ElbowsUp

. if one must feel down, or trepidatious, or anxious or angry or just plain sad… at least the natural world is cheering us on - loudly! blossoms abound with cheerful song! songbirds of spring sing clear and loud! let these daily miracles fill your heart with hope! #BloomScrolling #Poem #Nature

Happiness is a stunning bouquet, an unexpected delight delivered by a friend, for no reason; finding great joy in simple things; a vintage vase to hold the beauty just right. finding pleasure in the day to day can help us cope through troubling times. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #Bouquet #Poem

. stop. breathe. and believe that life is beautiful, and bountiful and good. and if the evidence around you currently suggests otherwise, keep breathing, my friend, and know that this too shall pass. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #NaturePhotography #Nature #Photography #Poem #PoemOfTheDay #Wildflower

. a quiet day of rest, raindrops, and rejuvenation. after busy days of rising up to life’s challenges remember the vital importance of rests. music without rests would just be a cacophony of sound. aim for beautiful, rest-filled melodies in life. #NaturePhotography #PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #Rest

. from bud, to blossom, to fruit; in due course a perfect unfolding. not to be rushed but to be honoured. in it for the long game. #NaturePhotography #Nature #Photography #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #FruitTrees #Poetry

exquisite; late, lazy mornings on days designed for slow living; a nice hot cuppa and a good book on rainy afternoons, smiles on stranger’s faces passing in the street, ticking details off the list with ease, flowering maples just coming into bloom. #BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography #Poem

. still waters. quiet mouth of sprawling river. familiarity here runs deep, river water in my veins. oh the stories this river could tell if only she would sing them to me. #NaturePhotography #PoemOfTheDay #River #FishingFleet #Poetry #FishingBoats #Poem #Stillwaters #FraserRiver #StevestonBC

to bloom or not to bloom, is that the question? or is it more a matter of to bloom… when? go for it Bloom! you know you want to. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #SpringBlooms #Spring #NaturePhotography #Flowers #Poem

shadow and light dark and bright black and white day and night mesmerized am I by the dance of shadows and light. “we are one said the shadow to the light, embrace the shadow and the darkness becomes bright.“ 🎶 ~lisa maxx #PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #ShadowsAndLight #Poem #Photography #Shadows #Light

even on the hard days take a moment to sit back and rejoice. basque in the delights, however small they might seem. give yourself this gift. you deserve it. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #LilacSeason #Lilacs #NaturePhotography #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #PoemOfTheDay #Nature #MacroPhotography #Love

. where the light shines Gather there; where similar minds eagerly share, where peace is possible be aware that to gather, to speak out, to share, and to shine your Light, there is where Power lives. Live there. #NaturePhotography #Forest #Ferns #Nature #PoemOfTheDay #Poetry #Poem #Peace

. spending the better part of a day with a favourite human is such a gift; a gift that soothes frayed nerves and uplifts, a gift that brings gentle smiles and bubbling laughter, a gifts that lingers long after goodbyes are said. oh so blessed am I. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #NaturePhotography

. you were a connoisseur of wild berries. three years ago you left us when the wild strawberries bloom. now they taste so bittersweet. #WildStrawberries #Loss #Grief #SuddenLoss #PoetryHelps #Poetry #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem

take a moment right now and just breathe in the exquisiteness of this beauty. feel the stress of the day melt away. experience awe. #BloomScrolling #NaturePhotography #Poetry #Flowers #awe #NatureIsMyMuse #Poem #PoemOfTheDay #Nature #Breathe

. how can something so delicate and so seemingly unassuming bring such huge joy? Nature is my sweet solace, my gentle healer, my quiet restorer, my soft reminder of All that is right and good with the world. I am humbled and oh so deeply grateful. #BloomScrolling #Poetry #Nature #Photography
