Sunday Stroll - Mother's Day

"Mother Nature has the power to please,

to comfort, to calm,

and to nurture one's soul."

~ Anthony Douglas Williams

On Sunday afternoon, 

my Mother's Day Gang and I headed out

 to the Shale Bluffs on a nearby beach 

for  a long walk and some beach combing.

Aquilegia canadensis

We found the elegant leaves of wild columbine pushing up through the shale.

Arabidopsis lyrata

Nearby, tiny rockcress flowers hovered above the sand in soft white clouds.

The creek emptied into Lake Michigan quietly,

as the sun warmed our happy faces.

Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you happiness.

If you have a minute, please go look at the beautiful kites on 

Steve's Sunday Stroll at Out on the Prairie.
