Abundance everywhere you look...

Friday aftn. Thompson, my s.o., and I went for a walk on the beach. Well, that was the idea but I got carried away taking photos. He was so patient with me as I was stopping every 30 seconds it seemed.

The photo on the left is so telling for me, visually showing all the abundance around us. This funny little piece of seaweed and then all the individual grains of sand - millions and millions of them. Each unique and yet they make up a cohesive whole.
These photos show just what a great time of year this is. The abundance of new growth and everyday you can see more and more. The new leaves are such an amazing green and some of the new growth just seems to glow.

The flowers I found along the way were great. So many petals, such great colors and all such a beautiful package, unfolded to share it's brilliance. I like to think of each of us as an unfolding blossom sharing with the world our brilliance.
Some of the most random and mundane things I saw still showed me the abundance all around - so visible if only I would look/see - really see. Not just aimlessly walk by but really be there and see everything. I know this is really saying to just be present in the moment but I've heard that for years and it just never really hit me like this. I'm sure it's all the same but maybe I'm finally waking up just like the plants are waking up after winter.

I think my favorite one above is the diamond plate - I guess that's what you call it. Anyway, not sure if you can see them or not but I love the the grains of sand and the funky random red spot.

And finally to end this post. One of my fav photos from the walk. This reminds me of some sort of lion or something. Just such a great plant and all the new growth on it - so symmetrical and yet so alive.

I wish you an abundantly beautiful day!

InJoy & Love!
