Hey peeps! 
I like to keep informed, so I read the papers on the web and try to keep up with the news. Right now I feel pretty drained and exhausted by the overwhelm of information and events, as I’m sure most of you do too! 
I have a little archive of short snippets of footage that I’ve put together over the years using my iPhone. I figured that even if I’m aware of climate emergency, the Covid pandemic, political shenanigans, social injustice, violence, corruption, problems, problems.. etc 
perhaps it’s helpful to post a moment of peaceful serenity than focusing on all the turmoil.. Just in case you thought I’ve lost my edge! 
Here’s some flowers from a long time ago... 
Peace be with y’all!!
