Here Comes The Sun

"Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right ... "

Lost and Found

So last weekend when the BF and I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden we decided, upon looking at the map, that we wanted to find the peonys. We went along the path where we thought they were and got distracted by the liacs and the cherry blossoms and lakes and trees and things. We had circled back to where we thought they were and found more flowers and beautiful sites. At one point it dawned on us that we hadn't yet found the peonys... and we realized that we were actually at the peony beds and had passed them about two or three times while looking for them.

The beds themselves were rather unimpressive as they hadn't bloomed yet.... so the destination, well it was hard to find and we got distracted a lot but they weren't ready anyway but meanwhile, we sure did see some terrific things! Just goes to show you, the Journey is just as important as the destination (and sometimes more interesting).

Welcome to May!

I took this last weekend on my bike trip up the Hudson but for me it symbolizes May.. the month when all that has fallen and been gone, returns with vigor and strength and beauty! May your month blossom before you and your life burst into life!

What You Make of It

Life is what you make of it. I took this photo when I went for a bike ride this past weekend. The weather was glorious and I never tire of the path up alongside the Hudson to the 'little red lighthouse' under the George Washington Bridge.

Life is what you make of it. Now, I know that the photo is of me taking a picture of my shadow and the front tire... but if I didn't know better, I could be eating a sandwich or playing the harmonica?

How often in life do we see things and react depending upon what we think we see rather than what is actually there? I certainly know I've done it. Have you?
