Happy to hear you are able to sit once again in nature. I will mentally celebrate your victory as I return soon to my garden, sitting amongst my plants as I prune them back for winter. 💟

Your deep connection with the world around you and all the critters that live there really shows in your images. They're special, thank you for sharing them. And lots of positive energy for your body.

Beautiful writing, Karen. Love your use of the third person here. I try to get my writing workshop members to move away from the more comfortable first to the third--usually it gives them a whole new perspective, a new way of seeing their world. Which you have done masterfully!

Yes, something about sitting at ground level brings a new focus and experience. I do that with my three dogs and they love it. Much more intimate. Beautiful post and photos. Thank you!

Oh yes, dogs! Dogs love it when you come down on the ground with them. Thank you Patricia.

Grounded takes on a new damp, cool meaning. What a delightful accomplishment. Don't know if I could manage that now!

:D Thank you Patricia. One of my goals a couple years ago was to be able to get up and down from the ground easier - and I have a dream of being able to do it without needing to touch the ground (because sometimes it's wet and muddy!). There's a reason I made myself a "sitting skirt" for the lake!

What an extraordinary meeting with your young grebe friend! The perfect way to celebrate your ability to be "grounded" again! And I loved the lone mallard! I had to play "Where's Waldo?" to find him! :-)
