In the middle of what has been a crazy couple of weeks, I had to pull off the highway and enjoy this moment. The fence line is pushed over from the recent flooding in our area, still drying out but everything is lush and green.
Thank you to our hosts of Sky Watch Friday and all the bloggers who participate for the reminder to take a moment to enjoy the free show that nature puts on for everyone across the sky.
One of my favorite altered book projects with a nature theme.

I have a hard time with the seasons down under, being from the Midwest, when we say winter...we mean WINTER...and you being from Canada, I'm sure you know what I mean!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying a bit of my Iowa sky.

It's always good to pause in a day if even for a brief moment.
Thank you for reminding us there is much joy in ordinary moments. Happy SWF.
I love this. Very different than what you normally post.
We've been having lots of rain too, really almost every day. Result..., our lawn and everybody else's is so green! And that moment was worth the stop!
It is the little things in life that are the real milestones, they give us joy and pick us up from the mud, they quiet our minds and create peace in the soul. Good that you stopped to enjoy the wonky fence and let the green refresh you.
It is truely a peaceful view you have shared with us thank you.
Beautiful moment and scenery.
Well worth to stop for.
Wise words here as well.
Lovely post. :)
Happy weekend! :)
I am glad you pulled off. We're all the better for it!
Beautiful photo of the sky and the field! :)
