The Moon & Me
Have you ever thought about our connection with the moon? I remember sitting on my mother’s knee in 1969 and staring up at the moon when she told me there was a man who had just landed up there! I have felt a connection somehow to the moon ever since then! So much in nature […]

Sunrise, sunset, mountains, trees, flowers, rivers, skies, moon, stars and wildlife. Appreciate nature’s beauty. Breathe in clean, fresh air. Take time to breathe […]
