I don’t know about you, but I love dandelions. Some say they’re weeds, to me they are beautiful flowers spreading their joy and keeping our bees alive. I remember a time long, long, ago when my mother brought them inside the house and put them all over in vases. When someone told her they’re just weeds, she said, “you must be missing their beauty.” I feel the same. I too bring them inside. Our bees need them and so do I. Without bees and therefore dandelions we would not be here. I’m grateful for my mother’s wisdom, for dandelions and for bees. What do you think? #dandelion #dandelions #niagara #inniagara #iloveniagara #ilovenature #nature #naturephotography #flowers #notweeds #spring #summer #summervibes #greengrass #gardens #lawns #naturesbeauty #naturesbeauty🍃

Another tree, yes. I love trees. This is a neighbours Magnolia. The Magnolias they are now almost done. Last year at this time I was enjoying my time at magnolia alley at the Niagara Floral Showhouse across from the Falls. In my story. What’s interesting is the lilacs haven’t bloomed yet, because it’s been unusually cool this Spring. I’ll share when they bloom. Are you enjoying your time in nature now that you possibly have more time? #magnolia #magnolias #magnoliatree #niagara #inniagara #magnoliaalley #floralshowhouse #flowers #trees #tree #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #ilovetrees #ilovenature #naturesbeauty #niagararegion #discoveron #niagaraontario #canada #niagaracanada

A beautiful day in the #niagara #countryside Yes, we can go out for a drive, to shop for essentials, etc. using social distancing. Where did I go? Check my story. How about you? Are you under a full lockdown where you are? And how are you coping? #niagaracountry #niagaraontario #discoveron #niagaracanada #countrylife #barn #fields #farm #silos #lifeinthecountry #atadistance #togetherathome #together #inniagara #beautifulniagara #beautifulcanada #❤️

It may be hard at a time like this, but try to smile. It makes all the difference. And you never know who may need it. How are you all doing and managing this extraordinary time? 😊🧡 #qotd #quotes ##atticus #smile #live #love #bewell #humanity #faith #weshallrise #poetry #books #igquotes #ourworld #beafriend

Blue sky. Blue water. Blue day? I hope not. Hope you are well and staying safe wherever you are. Just know these days will pass. Happy Easter!

Last summer, the first time I stood in the square beneath the #duomo in #florence I was in awe. Tears filled my eyes. I was grateful to be in a city I had dreamed about visiting for a long time. And I was in awe of the dreamer who dreamed the dream to build this magnificent place. Of course like most people I fell in love with Florence and with #Italy. Today I worry about Italy, and also have great respect for what they are enduring with this #covid crisis. How they come together, and will overcome this. I worry about the small business owners like my friends Arianna and Alessio @kmzerotours and I’m worried about my uncle Italo in Milan, who has cancer and travels to the hospital frequently for treatment. These are crazy times, but we will overcome this if we work together, globally. Did you know that China is sending thousands of tonnes of ventilators, masks, testing kits and other medical supplies to Italy? We have to come together as a global community to fight this. I just read @girlinflorence ‘s latest blog post. And she uses the word community many times. We have to help each other. Her post also provides tips on how to help. You can find the link in my bio and hers. Wash your hands. Care for yourself and others. Stay well. #florenceitaly #iloveitaly #cometogether #thereishope #inittogether #community #globalcommunity #girlinflorence #covid2019 #covid19italia #staystrong #strongertogether #globalcrisis #staywell #❤️

A beautiful day in #niagara for a little #wine tasting and fun in #winecountry . This pic taken @rosewoodwine with #lakeontario in the distance. Many good wines today. And Rosewood makes their own honey too. What do think? Did I bring some wine home? Hope you’re having a #happyfriday ! #wine #winefriday #winery #niagarawines #niagarawinery #beamsville #beamsvillebench #onthebench #winelover #niagarawinery #winetime #niagarawine #wineriesofniagara #niagararegion #inniagara #iloveniagara #vineyard #icewine #winter #winterinthevineyard #vines
