The Beauty I'm Seeing Here

Sending a big thank you out to everyone for your comforting words during this difficult time. 
 Russell and I appreciate your kindness. 

It's so sad that my first trip to Florida had to be under these circumstances.  But,  I still managed to find a bit of comfort with my camera and surroundings.

Here is a peek at some of the beauty I've been seeing around this place while spending time with my family.







Temperatures in the 70's with cool breezes.


Tropical flowers. 


My new friend...I think he has "cute toes," don't you? :-)
(I've never seen a frog in Las Vegas, so I guess I'm easily amused)


...falling asleep to an evening rain shower last night... 



These little guys are everywhere...I think they're cute too. 
I'm not sure of their correct name...I just like to call them "garden geckos." 









  
Love the old Florida style home with the louvre type windows.


I think it's so healing for the heart and soul to be able to find beauty even in the sad times.



It'll be good to get home on Thursday, although I'm not looking forward to the long flight home.
I'm a bit of a nervous flyer, so I'll be hoping for a smooth one. :-)

Sending love your way,

Becca

I love that Florida home too..a real classic!

Becca how did you put the music playlist on your blog? I for the life of me cannot figure it out!

Hope your flight home goes well!

Such beautiful shots. So many pretty flowers. And just look at that green grass. Boy do I miss that. That little gecko reminds me of Zion!

Take care my friend. My prayers are with You and Russell!

Hugs, Linda

Isn't is comforting how beauty lifts the heart in times of sadness? I hope this heart-healing time in FL has been good for your, Russell and your family, Becca. And wishing you a safe journey home. LOVE seeing all these lovelies from FL. I've not been to FL since I was 13 and had family living there. Thinking of you & yours... ((LOVE & HUGS))
Dear Becca
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope by the time your read this that you will have had a safe trip home. I think that at a time of grief we see things around us with a greater depth and intensity - I find that very evident in your photos. They're very intense and beautiful.
I hope you don't find this question insentive, but I have an interest in astrology from the standpoint of facial features and wondered if your father in law was a pisces? I'm asking from seeing his amazing self portrait. What a kind face.
Sending you strength and warmest wishes,
from Joan
