Love it! I hope more of the world comes to appreciate nature's bounty before we've used it up.

Two Haiku — There once was a time Storm clouds would gather and I Would whisk them away Today clouds gather Sullen gray, laden with rain They are my blanket

All right, between you and David Wade Chambers, y'all make me want to drop everything and move halfway across the world! What a lovely place you live in. And that little brown thornbill is adorable! However, it’s most unfair of the two of you to hit me with pics in the same hour. ;-)

Wow--I love everything about this--the pix, the writing, the message! Beautiful.

Your pics are interesting, but your interpretations are especially lovely! If I lived near the beach, I would be there walking -- and looking down -- as well.

I totally understand and have a few missing memories of my own. It was a wonderful era. :-D

Gack--so sorry! I haven't been on Medium a lot lately, and just saw this...Barbara is added now.
