Treasures
February Banner & Writing Prompt
First, I want to thank Ré Harris for the February Weeds & Wildflowers banner photo. She used her wonderful sky shot in this post:
Next, I want to thank Lynne Nardizzi for unintentionally giving us our February writing prompt. In her piece that I published earlier today:
She asked:
What treasures have you discovered today?
Since I started my Walking & Yard Tales series, I’ve become hyperaware of the treasures around me.
Treasures may be as big as the sky:
As small as a polka-dot wasp moth:
As lovely as a duck at sunset:
Or, as plain as a dandelion:
As unexpected as a rainbow without rain:
Or, as ordinary as your neighborhood street:
Your treasures may be outdoors as most of mine are or they may be indoors like your sleeping dog:
Or, a favorite book:
As winter digs in some places and spring creeps into others, as some of us are snowbound or hiking and others are sun-walking or surfing, we can add to life’s experiences by paying attention to the treasures around us — by being present.
To quote Lynne Nardizzi again:
What treasures have you discovered today?
And, that is our February Weeds & Wildflowers prompt — share with us the treasures you discover as you go about your day.
As always, this prompt has no time expiration. Please tag any responses with this tag:

And, if you don’t, I will :)

I am tagging the current Weeds & Wildflowers contributors. If your name should be here and isn’t, please know it’s nothing more than an oversight by a woman who is very tired from working seven-days-a-week.
