Mother Nature offers some pleasant surprises...

Thank goodness...

...last Saturday afternoon, yours truly went on a daily walkabout. 

The sun was shining, all bright and warm. Yes. Warm. As in I won't freeze my face while on a walk. 

I'm not sure how or why the idea flashed through my simple little mind. Such is often the case. That being said, I thought that while I was out enjoying the sunshine, I'd seeing what kind of exciting shapes I might spot in the wonderful, wide world right there in our neighborhood.

If you pay close attention, Mother Nature can offer some pleasant surprises. Generally, all you really have to do is pause for a moment or two, and take a look around.

So, this week there are few more pictures than usual. Hope you get a chance to enjoy Mother Nature's wonders, especially since the weather outside isn't quite as frightful, and freezing, as it seems to have been for a while in our neck of the woods...
