Visual Escapes and Daily Inspirations: Share Yours

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Mar 16, 2020

Let's create a space to offer a daily reprieve.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of uncertainty and fear into our lives. Some of that fear and uncertainty can be caused by over thinking what is going on or unnecessarily worrying. So, I'm making sure I wash my hands frequently, not touching my face, staying away from social gatherings and all of the recommended guidelines to help avoid getting or spreading COVID-19 but it can be a little boring. I try to not watch news all day long while I'm in this self imposed captivity. I like to take pictures of birds and other creatures from my window as a welcome break.

I invite you to join me in sharing pictures, favorite poems, sayings, mottos, funny moments. Let's take a daily break together.

Night Blooming Cereus Cactus outside my house today. 2 years ago, we planted a cactus garden in pots over a leach field, this is the first bloom for this girl. I see at least one more bud...but this pleasure is only for early birds - the bloom is done by about 10am.

You are one funny man, John! Thanks for the smiles. All three look sublimely content! Is that a tree stand the third one is draped over? Miss Precious has a floor to ceiling one that she loves. She can watch the birds feeding and squirrels scooting all around through the picture window.
