a backyard break

i took a moment to walk around my backyard today...

i took the time:

to take in the color

and breathe

and really see

and listen

and open my eyes to the unexpected*

and notice the tiny

and drink up the beauty

*does anyone know what this fruit is? we have had this little tree that i thought was a form of forsythia since we moved in. it grows a little out of control so i guess i pruned it a bit too much the first winter and it didn't have any fruit on it until this year. apricots perhaps? sky, i bet you know what it is...and maureen, maybe you know...
