I love the phrase, and I love to be “out and about”‘ When I go out, I find that my focus is constantly changing. Sometimes I want a view of the whole, to actually feel where I am, to put myself in that place…

But very often I find I want to get as up close and personal as I possibly can…I want to see what nature really looks like, how nature actually accomplishes those activities that make this planet a very special place…

I want to see the inside of the bloodroot flower…

I want to catch that bumblebee on the milkweed…

I want to catch the skipper as it pollinates the purple coneflower…

But sometimes I just want to step back a little and admire the beauty of a Monarch on a milkweed…

Sometimes I want to marvel at the feathers of a mallard…

And, all the time, just let me be out and about, to fix my focus, to enjoy any focus, to cherish this world with my own perspective.
