The most wonderful time of year
This has been a hard year for everyone in the world with the pandemic as it has effected everyone in one way or another. I do hope you can find one silver lining in it all. My husband and I spent two months traveling the country and enjoying the outdoors. It is always inspiring to be with nature. In the Smokies and came across some butterflies. We stayed out distance but I was able to record them enjoying a meal. Then in another part of the world we climbed “Dan’s Rock” in Rawling, MD. were we could see for miles.
