The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.

Nothing like beginning a day with tears at the blend of beauty in your photograph and Thoreau’s words. I am reminded that I have been too serious for too long. An important reminder at the beginning of Spring when stardust takes all forms. Thank you for this faithful effort you make to share your noticings, David.

Such a beautiful pairing…enjoy your day.
WOW, when I spied that on my phone, I thought ‘oh a painting by Turner’…. turns out it’s a genuine DK (sadly I can’t think of a pun rhyming with Turner….) – this is magnificent and well worth a tear or a smile – and a bit of gratitude! Thanks for sharing.
Smiling. Thanks Kiki.
