(5,337 posts)On Wednesday I walked for hours through gardens of blooming flowers, fall foliage, and magnificent structures and statuary. I was surprised to see summer butterflies and numerous species of bees gathering pollen. The day was capped with a spectacular sunset and a bit of adventure pursuing it with my car and camera. Politics and the terror of our current situation didn't once cloud my thoughts during my time away from home. I'm gratified knowing that my photos might help others get a little taste of the peace and joy I felt that day.
Thanks!
