Striking pink petals, with a patch of redish-pink dots, lit up in autumn sunshine.

So good to open our eyes to what’s right where we are.

It’s easy to get so involved in the chaotic pace of life, in doing, that sometimes we forget to slow down and look around.
I spotted this wattle bird in my front garden, in what appears to be its favourite grevillea. It was so delightful to take a break from all my writing, and actually see the birds just outside my window.

Spring is such a wonderful time of natural beauty, of slowing down, of treading carefully, of celebrating nature — all those brilliant blooms in the garden.
It’s also a great time to start a new writing project!

Sometimes such delight can be found by slowing down, and seeing what’s right at our feet — like these red cyclamens, two bathed in winter sunshine.
