ABUNDANCE
I like the part of the definition that says-
plentifulness of the good things of life
I think of synonyms like~
myriad
plethora
multitude
bountiful
cornucopia-
then I think of Thanksgiving coming
and what I am most thankful for
First and foremost
my family (and friends :) )
the bees
the honey
the flowers
the rain
garden harvests
Color, pattern and inspiration from nature
gifts that remind me of the kindness of friends and family
Art- yes, that sweet painting is from peekadoo lucky me! :)
BOOKS
and bread, yummm. We are definitely a bread-loving family
What do you consider to be the 'good things' of life?
Your pictures are absolutely mesmerizing-what a treat to peak into your view of a fruitful world. I'm especially in awe of your nature collections as a biologist-I love gathering rocks and leaves and feathers in all their varied forms. Thanks for sharing this week!
ReplyDeletewhat an adorable baby - so healthy & happy holding a baguette... do you sell honey from your bees? I guess I never knew you were a biologist! are you conducting research? or what sort of work do you do?
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate you listing the synonyms for the word ABUNDANCE. Thanks too for participating & sharing the many ways you experience ABUNDANCE!
Thank you :) However, as much as I think it would be a fascinating and rewarding profession, I am not a biologist. Biomouse is though. I am currently a stay at home mom, taking a long break from teaching special education. If I were a biologist, I would love to conduct research specifically with bees and colony collapse disorder or something that involves the study of biomimicry.... As a first year beekeeper, it has been an emotional experience. When you keep bees, you learn so much....It's like you become an amateur botanist and meteorologist too as everything is pretty much connected. It is hard not to get attached to the bee colonies and worry about them surviving the winter. It is hard for me not to care deeply for them because they work so hard and and teach so much.
ReplyDelete@biomouse , I too collect feathers! ... I love birds, drawing and painting them is a favorite pass time. Winged Migration is one of my favorite bird documentaries. If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend it. :)
Hi,
ReplyDeletewhat a fascinating post! Beautiful pictures. I have always wanted to have a bee hive, and it would be great for the garden. Maybe someday.(-: Thank you for visiting me.
What an abundance of beautiful photos! My favorites are the bread ones - I love bread!!!
ReplyDeletePlethora is one of my favorite words, bread one of my favorite foods and milkweed is a favorite memory of childhood. Lovely photos!
