I like meal prepping too.

Ha!

I have shrunk an inch, fricken gravity!

Wonderful start to the day.

Feed me! Lucky family.

Just 15 minutes before the downpour started, the morning looked and sounded like this.

A pink flower in bud, yet to unfurl, with light seen behind it, that appears to be being emitted from the bud ~ photo by the author of this note and poem, Emma Rose.

Struggling to see,
past all this mess
the awfulness now?
There’s hope here
Let’s grow it

Happy #AlohaFriday from the summit of the island of Maui, at our partner Haleakalā National Park.

May your weekend take you to new heights.

Two large tree trunks stand in the foreground of a forested park, forming a natural frame around a flowering tree in the distance. The blossoms catch the sunlight against a darker background of evergreen trees, while the grassy ground in the foreground remains partly in shade. The scene draws attention to the blossoms revealed between the trunks, creating a quiet moment of focus and reflection.

One quiet truth about photography.

The camera doesn’t decide what matters.

The photographer decides what is worth stopping for.

"A black and white photo of Mount Manaslu, framed by a plume of cloud drifting upward, echoing the mountain’s peaks. Light and wind carve a temporary silhouette that hangs for only a heartbeat." ~Mamandy

"For a fleeting moment, the clouds perfectly mirrored the peaks of Manaslu (the 8th highest mountain in the world)."
~Mamady

Thinking of our friend Mamady... Wherever you are, friend, we hope you are safe and know you are loved and missed...

Nicely spotted!

Today's harvest; tomorrow at market!
