Today marks the first day of Spring and four weeks of war for Ukraine. Sigh. There but for the grace of God go I....
Life is better here. The spring melt is underway. What lies beneath? Crackly grass resembling thread-bare wash towels that have been laundered and bleached way too many times. I can't wait for fresh tulips and sleepy tree buds. But first, I have news...
The Costa Rican travel magazine Ballena Tales (which means Whale Tales), published my article and photos about Dominicalito beach last week. The event happened with serendipity, and for an aspiring author, getting published in any shape or form is a big deal. I hope you'll click over to read my short story. My first publication credit!
Now follow my feet through Lankester Gardens near Orosi, Costa Rica. It's spring there too. Although, is spring really spring without winter?
Be careful, or they'll put you to work...
I bought this necklace in the gift shop. Still loved, but unworn.

Congratulations Sharon that's awesome! I read your beach short story, and I enjoyed it very much. I hope one day to be walking there barefoot on that beach myself!
I enjoyed my wander at Lankester Gardens too, especially the orchids my favourites!
Have a great week

Congratulations on having your article published!
Your photos are so beautiful.
Costa Rica is fabulous. And Congrats on the publication. I will click over right away! …. I am so tempted to steal your line “But is it Really Spring Without Winter?” Because, as you know, we don’t have much of the latter here in SW Florida either! So I am just kind of pretending there is a seasonal change ! (And I would never steal your words really, not ever! ). Off to read your published ones right now, thanks for sharing and hosting.
Merci pour ces magnifiques photos si solaires et si colorées
That necklace is gorgeous and just the kind I love to wear. How wonderful to have your article published and we all love the photos you share! What a wonderful life we have and I've very thankful for it too.
It is a big deal!! Congratulations!! yes, you should feel proud. It's a pat on the back and recognition, which in this game can be few and far between. That's very exciting. As for this week's photos, they're lovely as usual!
I will read it, but I will also need to gaze at these spectacular pictures a bit longer first. Congratulations! :-)
Congratulations on publishing your article, I read it and it is with spectacular pictures too.
This park looks beautiful and I like all these flower pictures.
Congratulations on the article, Sharon. I read it and a few others too. The barefoot life sounds dreamy when all I've been wearing lately is boots. Have you ever considered moving to Costa Rica? I loved all your flower and orchid flower photos
