She was sure she’d be safe
From life’s evil strafe
How could she not be
Resilient as a forest tree
With roots that dug deep
Her balance she’d keep
Strong and tall
She’d never fall
Let the world do its worst
She’d not be coerced
But along came the rain
Again and again
And drip by drip
Loosening the grip
Washing her foundation away
Exposed to life’s merciless sway

I noticed I had scheduled two posts for the same day. Obviously, one must be changed. Oops, I changed the wrong one. Had I been home, I’d have noticed when this went out and immediately amended. But I was out walking the camera in gorgeous spring sunshine

The photos are definitely more important to those of us used to the prompt.

Absolute fantastic photos. But you don’t get to see them for 3 weeks, cos I have a backlog. And I need that backlog to serve as a reservoir cos come the heat of summer I’m not allowed out. I kid you not, it’s true. Too many times I’ve had to be rescued. So I like to keep a few weeks in hand

I feel very much like this lately. Like my very foundation has washed away and my exposed roots are at fear of failing…..

Although similar, we each are different. Go for it anyway

Oh dear. You need to find some mud to plunge your roots into, then not move too much until it’s had time to dry!
Wishing you successful support 💖💖💖

And the foundation may have fallen somewhat, but yet, she holds on. I get her.

Yesterday I found a sycamore sapling rooted into the oldest part of my oldest buddleia. I need to find a way of angling the camera to capture that!
