Thanks so much Tricia. It sometimes feel extremely silly to send these things out each week to little response. It can make me doubt the point in it or the quality of what I do. Nethertheless I do enjoy coming up with something or other regularly. It keeps me writing, though it distracts me from my longer pieces that are lying neglected on my laptop!
Wonderful! I have a great fondness for foxgloves too. I like watching bumble bees look as if they are too fat and will become stuck in them, and I love their colour. When you wrote "That feeling of utter vulnerability; no land for hundreds and hundreds of miles and no knowing how many thousands of feet of water there were below our puny bodies", you've perfectly expressed my fear of being on the water. For reasons I've never examined, being in a large boat, such as a ferry, doesn't bother me, but put me in a pathetically sized dinghy or rowing boat and I'm such a wimp!
I find your nature writings soothing, and I get a feeling that you are content when nature plays such a large part in your life.
This made me chuckle

Thank you Sandie!!!
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
