Nightly Gathering

Open Thread Post 91 - Beauty

Today I took the dog for a walk on the trail I'd taken shortly after I first walked again after Morgan died. That day I'd been pleased with the weather and the humanness of the other people on the path that day.

Today was gorgeous on the path, and again, the walkers and bikers were not solely focused on themselves. I mentioned in the longer post today, that even in the bad weather it can be pretty here if the clouds themselves cooperate. The other thing that is beautiful this time of year, rain or shine, are massive fields all over the place of these wild yellow flowers! My sister-in-law actually gasped in awe when we drove by one of the fields that dreary Saturday.

Many yellow wild flowers were framing today's path as well. Here's one picture.

I was listening to Lauren Daigle, thinking about the new outlook I was going to make my new normal, and feeling really good. On the way back, I knew I'd make the Nightly Gathering Post about this.

I saw two different yellow flowers along the path and wondered which are in these fields. Here are the two different kinds

It's not a great picture of the second kind, but they're actually kind of shiny. They look like they have a sheen on them.

On the way home, I needed to know for myself which the fields I see consist of.

At least this field is #2, although I noticed that along the side of the road is more likely to be #1.

These are probably considered weeds. I don't care. I love them! They make me happy and feel good. Beauty!
