Love the storm’s passing photo. I need a few large photos for my new place. And maybe the sunflower one from a post a few weeks ago. Not sure if you sell them.

Thanks Julianne! I do, just as people are interested. You can email me at karen@opendoordreaming.com if you find one you want. I'd need to know the size, how you want it printed (e.g. photo print which you can frame, printed on canvas, printed on metal or even glass. There are lots of options these days. If I know what you're interested in and approximate size I can get an estimated cost. (Assuming shipping to the US or Canada?)

Just wonderful. And I hope the pelicans put in an appearance. They're so good to watch in flight.

Thank you Jeffrey! They are amazing. I feel like I haven't had a good communion with pelicans for a couple years - overdue!

The dark morning photo is stunning Karen! So true about when wishing for things to be different we suffer. To remind ourselves to accept what is, brings us ease to be sure. 😊

Breathtaking, Karen, and thought-provoking. Everyone tries to write something profound when the season changes, and you've nailed it!

Thank you Jeanne! It's a good thing I don't try to write anything profound, lol. That would be too much pressure!

Happy you got some rain…. We had rain all around us but we only got a few sprinkles😳🤷‍♀️. Hoping your rain comes south to us …finally expecting cooler temperatures this week after a few upper 90’s days🙄🔥 (still listing us as severe drought conditions)

Oh man, I was hoping you got some of that rain! I really hope you get rain soon!

Love the ospreys! Even the word "osprey" evokes good memories for me. We used to go up to the TPC at Sawgrass and rent a house on Osprey Lane when my husband was with the Honda Classic. For a long time I didn't know what an osprey was! :-) Thanks for helping me get acquainted in more depth! ;-)

I wish we’d got some of those storms and rain. So dry here. Also trying to learn to be at peace with what is. Thanks, as always.

Wishing you rain! We went from deep brought to a soggy July then back to no rain for over a month. I guess this is climate change, sadly.

Yes, fall is usually pretty soggy around here, but not this year.

:( That was our story the past two years. Super dry. I hope it shifts and you start to get rain.

Me, too. Maybe later this week. Fingers crossed.
