I went for a hike....not surprised?
I am trying to do things that have always brought me joy in the past.
I love being outside in nature of course and I am thankful for all that I have.
But I don't feel joyful yet.
I appreciate everyone here and your friendship and feel a little excited about visiting everyone today.
That's a step in the right direction!
I hiked down an old horse trail and even saw a few horses out for a ride.
I think this is a juvenile bluebird.
It was a beautiful Spring day in Florida.
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

I am so sorry for your loss of your precious husband . I'm glad you are trying to get out and trying to find some joy in nature. They say time heals - you need time. I love your shots of the woodpecker. They are so fast I can never seem to get a good shot. Have a good day.
...Diane, doing thos things that bright you joy is what life is all about!!! Be well.
I am happy to see you post and the butterfly is certainly worthy of Joy. gorgeous photo. I think if will take a while to feel joy. If anything can bring you joy in your grief, it is the hiking you love so much.. Hugs and Love coming your way
Yes, Diane, doing things that bring you joy will get you through. You are not alone in this journey!! I'm five years ahead of you and can tell you those joyful things you do will give you strength! Sending love and hugs!
It is good to hear from you Diane. The outdoors is my place to go to find the Lord and joy. I hope you have many more hikes this spring. I love your birdie pictures - always.
Full-on joy takes a bit after such a loss. Just try to grab a bit each day. Write it down and you will see, and feel, when your list gets longer. Grieving isn't linear and in many ways, the loss is never-ending. But it will soften over time. Meanwhile, if walking brings you comfort and joy, go on many hikes. Surely, you will find beautiful things that brings wee bits of joy. I think I even see some here!
Diane ~ lovely photos ~ sending you prayers and lots of healing energy hugs ~ is 'watching over you'. It is the hardest thing to do in life ~ grieving the loss of our loved ones especially our mate ~ It is good you welcome nature and your photography will be a good companion ~ hugs ~'
love and hugs, carol and ziggy
