{ one mile away from home }

In between one rain downpour and another, I found this oasis of color and joy. Pure catharsis for my dark soul today.

Thank you for stopping by and for your feedback!

Love and Joy!

"why seek far afield when the good things lie nearby", or something of the kind (written by german classic author johann wolfgang von goethe). indeed, the best things are often not more than a mile away, if we care to notice them! as you did with this amazing and colorful image! i hope it drove your blues away ... :-)
