  8. Your courage – encourages! It is so rare to see a real example of true vulnerabity and the wonder of discovery that follows. Thank you for opening the door to your soul. The beauty there leaves us speechless with only tears to express our appreciation. Love you!

    1. What kind words from you… I know my vulnerability isn’t for everyone, but I am constantly amazed and touched to know that there’s a little tribe of souls out there who “get it” and appreciate it. Thank you for encouraging me today. ❤

    1. What kindness … Thank you! I’m glad you found me and that you’ve enjoyed my strange little view of the world. 😉

      I absolutely love your photographs. As someone who tends to be a little overwhelmed and destabilized by color, I can’t get over how calm and balanced and beautiful your color-rich images are. Looking forward to more! 🙂

    1. Thank you, sir — I love a good paradox! I’ll take it. 😉

      I’m like a little kid when it comes to having readers from far flung locales here … All giddy and excited to learn something new.

      Welcome! I’m happy you stopped by.

  15. Hi Ashley, I stumbled upon your blog by accident and the moment I read your first few words I realised that you are a very special person who has a wonderful talent for expressing and sharing thoughts in beautiful language. I feel as though I already know you. Your photographs have a wonderful quality also. I am looking forward to your future posts.
    Scotland does not seem so far from where you are now!!

    1. What beautiful words, Ian. I’m so very glad you’re here. I took a little time to stop by your place … You’re right. We’re just shouting distance from each other, across the pond. 🙂

      Looking forward to getting to know you.

      1. Hi Ashley, thanks for visiting my blog. While I had a particular reason initially for trying to encourage vegetable growing I have written poetry in the past and I am thinking I might turn my attention to creating a place to share my musings.

        1. So funny! And totally randomly? I’m fascinated now …

          I’ve probably been following for at least six months, maybe more, although I’ve fallen off the wagon of Reader lately as I work through a busy career transition.

          Your blog is just plain real — love that! 🙂
