Sitting on the ground beside the garden wall, I noticed some purple plants reaching upwards and the pink ones reaching out. In the gap, I noticed the short garden wall. What I had was a squirrel’s eye view.

While admiring the flowers’ vibrant colors, I thought about gratitude.
Gratitude for this quiet, peaceful moment,
For my eyesight and my health
For my camera and my photography practice
For nature’s freshness and vitality
For summer.
