Love that today you tried something you’d been envisioning awhile. And you succeeded. Your lovely voice and delicate observations brought calm to my wet and windy corner of the world.

Thank you, it seemed like the ideal time to just go for it and I'm so pleased people enjoyed it. There will be more.

This is like a mini meditation, but visual and auditory. And with homework ☺️

Oh thank you, that's so kind, I guess I would like them to be similar to meditations, at least provide a moment of calm and reflection.

It’s lovely 🥰 I think my only feedback, if you don’t mind me saying, is the homework. It’d be a little more inclusive if you said ‘if you can get outside today’ and maybe include a note that if not you could join you on yours. I honestly felt like I was outside with you and I know when I was bed bound it was so hard getting outside 💚

Thank you, that's very true and given I have ME myself I should have phrased it better. It was very much unscripted and impromptu so I will next time.

I love that it was no scripted. Haha it’s funny reflecting back on something and realising you’re not even including yourself 😆

A great example of managing your 'circle of influence'!

Thank you Rachel. I enjoyed that. ❤️ I’m curious about the second photo- what is that black and white shape on the left hand side among the droplets?

Thank you. I’m curious about it too! I presume you mean the reflection within the main droplet? It’s probably some cobweb. It looks a little like a feather but there weren’t any there. I’ve zoomed in on the original photo and still can’t tell. Or do you mean the droplet hanging down with a slightly green tinge? That was a droplet formed around a bit of vegetation I think.

Ah I see what you mean about the droplet looking like it’s reflecting a feather! I think the photos may be on a different order on my phone. It’s the shape on the left hand side of the teasel I’m curious about.

Ah, got it now. It's a deceased insect caught in the cobweb/seedhead. I think it's a hoverfly of some form.
