    I close up and drop
    Still, not before flying off
    I embrace the change

    Such beautiful blooms Val, when we look close up into the heart of these wonderful blooms, you just have to marvel at creation, and the beauty of flowers..
    Thank you for sharing Val…
    I had to step back from the world for a while… I think it was in preparation for what is occurring now… Wishing you much love dear Val… ❤ 🙏💖

      I am over in Scotland and feel the anguish here. Tough times indeed.
      A few days on the coast with Mum should clear the head and lift our spirits 💐

    Goodness me! That butterfly is stunning! Such a great shot. And I love the haiku too. I can almost smell the rain-drenched foliage! Matt 🙂

    Beautiful landscapes of nature. I love going for walks and taking photos of the small gestures of nature. These walks give us life, they regenerate us to continue creating and continue living. Thank you!

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
