I’m glad you enjoyed it. The swamp made my heart sing that afternoon. Wasn’t planning to post a substack but felt the need to share the joy. 💜

Becki, Becki, Becki! I was on a spree to delete posts I didn't have time to read. I had reached about thirty in a row when I saw that it was your posting. I was immediately rewarded with an image of your long, brushed-out hair, a glint in your beguiling, wild, witchy eyes, and your lovely smile hiding secrets. Just a few words is perfect for me today. Thanks for the lovely captures of your beloved swamp and trees! My heart soars. See you at five and next Wednesday. Virtual hugs!

Thanks Janisse. A “soaring in my chest” is definitely felt when I’m in the swamp.

SO much I love about this post, but especially the photo of you beaming, with your hair all wild. Perfect! Also ... "reciprocity abounds in the swamp." YES! Thank you for this; so dear and uplifting.
