I just said this morning that I was ready for summer to be over & move on to fall, my favorite time of year!

These posts are such a necessary respite within my online world. More and more, I’m trimming down the posts of commentary and words, and centering in on posts like yours that draw us into communion. (of course, my own wanderings in the landscapes of the real are the fundamental ground.)

I found myself pausing with you to admire the sunlight spilling across the ferns and the fields of buttercups. Your words are a lovely escape, and I’m looking forward to our next wander together. 🌿✨

I miss seeing caterpillars around. They seem such a rarity in my neck of the woods these days.

That's unfortunate, caterpillars are nice to spot. I wonder why they are not around as much.

Beautiful words and images as always Whitney! I feel like I am journeying through the woodland with you, almost feeling the cool air on a hot summer’s day, the icy touch of the river; smelling the damp sweetness that hangs in the air. Thank you for sharing 🥰

Oh, Whitney, it feels like I open a child's magical storybook, similar to what JK Rowling writes, each time you share the treasures in the forest. It's such a gift you offer, to stop and read myself curious and imaginative. As I read, I heard a giggle, noticing all the buds on the flowers, and this giggle said, "What has you budding today?" The adventures you share open up magical worlds. Thank you!!
