have you ever thought about/would you be interested in submitting one or two of your bee photos to the NY Times Spelling Bee game? They always a closeup of a bee photo for each day's tips for how to solve it and I enjoy looking at the photos more than playing the game! https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/26/crosswords/spelling-bee-forum.html
I can get the email address for you to submit if you are interested. <3
Pawpaws! I love names like that! There's an innate, nursery rhyme- like appeal I think. Wigwams, tomtoms, pompoms peewees, flim flam, rum dum, mishmash, riprap, OshKosh, teeter totters, geegaws and seesaws. Our language is loaded with examples.🙂
Love thinking about the person who named a fruit pawpaw! 😄 I bet they saw the smiling ducklings too. I especially like the smile on the last pic of the big duck at the end of its bath. All pics of bees and flowers and our world of beauty are a treat. Thank you!
I just discovered many pawpaw recipes online! Oh my! I have never seen or tasted pawpaw. Some describe it as a flavor between bananas and mangos. I see several bread recipes that use it. I would need to convert any to my dietary needs, but it sounds like a fun thing to try. ✨😀
"Drops of Beauty" is an interesting title, handle, caption. The beautiful images "drop" into my mail box? The beautiful World you capture visit me drop by drop? When I forward your "eye on the world" I tell my friends to be prepared for "awe & wonder" or a "meditation on miracles". I think Einstein once said you can choose to live your life as if EVERYTHING is a miracle or nothing is... He chose the former. Karen, you help me make the same choice. Thank you for your "Miracle Moments ".
Thank you Clark, I appreciate this very much. I can't remember now how I came to that title, most likely it just appeared in my mind as a gift. I agree that everything is a miracle!
Will you be eating pawpaws when they ripen? Wish I had chicory, have endless dead red clover blossoms that need to be cut back. Such a simple but beautiful description: leaf green and water blue.
You know, I've never actually seen any fruits in there but I am probably not on that part of the trail in the right part of the year because it's just so mosquito thick! Good luck with the clover!
❤️❤️😍😍👍👍
Thank you Sharon!
Beautiful! Relaxing images. Your posts with the pics and quotes would make a wonderul book titled by the same name as your Substack!
Thank you Linda! I have been contemplating that I'm publishing my book one page at a time out here. :)

I've thought about it but never done it. I play the spelling bee every day! It's what i call a healthy addiction.
it is a healthy one, for sure. please consider it. your photos are right up there with others that are published. it would be fun to see them there.
Beautiful images Karen - the Common Grackle looks awesome the way the light is striking their head and neck feathers.
Thank you Neil!
Love them all! That first one ... lake as smooth as glass...so peaceful!
Thank you John

Ha ha - yes!
Consistency in creating. Keeping on putting it out in the world. Not attached to fruits of labor but embodying the process as the prize
Thank you Paolo! I love this - and it fits with what I'm writing about for Sunday and helps clarify something for me too.

I love that - I mean someone did name it! Thank you Sandy.

Beautiful photos, as always. That duck's neck flexibility is a wonder to behold!!
Thank you Mary!
