Oh yes. This, all of this, Siobhan. The river otter is pretty special and I love the way you said: frozen until the moment we need it. And I love it when I see a tiny flower growing where it feels needed. That was a pretty one. Loved this.
Thank you, Donna! I put this post together pretty fast. Glad you were able to see the messages I was trying to get across. :)
Great great photos. Cooperative otter!!!
Thank you, John! The otter gave me a nice pose. 🙂
What a beautiful reflection of what hopeful means! Excellent photos!

Very clever response Siobhan, and so different! Marriage of thoughts and images is perfect.
Thanks, Tina! Glad you liked my quickly created post. :D
This is a wonderful post! Every image is uniquely beautiful, and matches the narrative perfectly.
Thank you! I had fun with that one. 🙂
I love the way you put this post together and married it to the challenge, Siobhan!
Thanks, John! I used some recent photos plus a few oldies but goodies. 🙂
Beautifully expressed and illustrated Siobhan! The little flower is perhaps my favourite although I'm wavering between that and the otter :D
Thanks so much, Sarah! I like both of those photos a lot. :)
How wonderful Siobhan! Your pictures are beautiful and words are expressive.
