Tina’s challenge is Epemeral. She tells us “the dictionary’s short and simple definition of the word ephemeral – “lasting for a very short time“.
There are so many things to be appreciated that only last a short time. I learned a long time ago that life is short and it is important to stop and enjoy the moment before it’s gone.
I decided to focus on flowers and critters in my garden from this year. Some things come and go so fast I miss them if I don’t pay attention. My header image is of a magnolia blossom on a tree right next to my driveway. I can see the tree from my kitchen window. I anxiously await the first bloom every spring. Each bloom only lasts a day or two before it fades away. I grabbed my camera as soon as I saw this bloom in early May.
The rest of the images are of other special moments from the garden this year.
You showed us some fun and creative street details in your in responses to Ritva’s challenge last week. Thanks to everyone who participated.
