i hear you Ashley. it’s going to get alot worse before it gets better. i believe the world and its institutions – especially the teaching profession – has to call back retirees and people of your generation to reteach the order and harmony that promoted the prosperity that was taken for granted. as always though, stay safe and keep your family and loved ones safe. so many sh*t people allowed to walk around in public nowadays.
Such a delicate and tender piece — both in words and in colors. The butterflies, the flowers, and the peace you evoke feel like a gentle pause in time. Thank you for sharing your sensitivity with us.
Thank you, Kerfe for your lovely comment. Butterfly numbers (in my garden , certainly) have been high. Only yesterday we counted 12, over all the species in my collage, mostly Small Tortoiseshell. 🤗😊
Many thanks, Edo-sama! In my teen years, art was what I really wanted to do and I’m only really catching up now. A lot of ground to make up though. 😊😉🙏

Thank you, Mike. With all the awful stuff going on in the world right now, we need a little peace and mine is here in our little garden.

A wonderful collage Ashley, and fitting words to accompany it. I have not seen many butterflies this year, sadly. (K)

I like how you’re expressing yourself more with art, Ashleaf-sama. Nice haiga!!!
Many thanks, Edo-sama! In my teen years, art was what I really wanted to do and I’m only really catching up now. A lot of ground to make up though. 😊😉🙏
Keep pursuing that goal, Fraxinusama! You have the time!!
Appreciate the loss of light with each passing day! Another autumn!
Beautiful ❤️
