Description
There was just something about this yellow Iris standing out in my garden that caught my eye. I liked the background and the tall purple Iris getting ready to bloom to its side. I wondered why do I like this scene so much? It is just a regular view in a corner of my garden.
and my thoughts followed a path of 'justs' . . . do you notice when you say the word just? Like when out at a restaurant and you tell the waiter, "I'll just have a glass of water." That glass of water is everything to someone thirsty in a desert, or living in Flint, Michigan. . . . or it's just a joke . . . or it's just words . . . or just in the nick of time . . . . or it's just a smile . . . it's just a small donation . . . . it's just a hug . . . . . I use it a lot without thinking about it. In reality, all of these things are important! water, jokes, words, time, smiles, donations, hugs. It is important to not take water and earth for granted. It is important to realize the impact of jokes and words on others. . . and it is very important to remember to smile and donate to others. This time of physical distancing has really made me yearn for so many regular common old ordinary things that I used to label 'just' and hugging is top of that list! I miss hugging my friends, my kids and my grandkids! I hope a gift that we will all treasure from this moment in all of our collective lives is the gift of touch, of hugging, of connecting to all of our fellow human beings as we travel this life together. . . . when it is finally safe to hug again!
And so . . . . this isn't JUST a garden scene . . . it is a garden gift.
Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
