Have you stopped to notice all the little miracles that pass through our hands daily? While skimming through a number of recent and stored photographs, I could not help but realize how many beautiful things these worn out old hands have held.  Looking at each picture, I felt gratefully aware of the many opportunities to appreciate the magic around us and decided to start compiling them into an album.

Wonder is everywhere. I wanted to share a few of the quietly magnificent gifts of Spring I have held in my hands just this past week alone.

Muguet….the intoxicating Lily of the Valley

A magical little woodland Red Eft

A fascinating and elusive Morel mushroom

My newborn grandson, just a few hours old
