as she was dealing with the ramifications of the effects of Parkinson's Disease on her beloved husband.

FACES AND HEARTS in Nature
In the scene there is peace.
There is green.
There is water and
There are birds.
The people who are dear to me are there also.
My heart flutters at the sparkles in the water,
The splashes that spray when the terns dive down.
Food for all.
Sustenance comes from this peaceful place
With all that I love.
I want to share it.
I’d love for you to experience the texture,
The vibrancy, the beingness of the
Freshness of Nature and Humanity.
People, animals, birds, plants...
All alive to be appreciated,
Loved,
Nurtured.

The poem above was featured and explained in a special issue of PICTURE TO PONDER - "From My Heart to Yours" - ISSUE 130a which starts out:
"As I was walking in Wakodahatchee Wetlands this morning
I started thinking about all of you dear subscribers
and began mentally composing an article and thank
you. In keeping with the photo theme, I wondered what
photo I could use AND a short time later, there it
was - a heart shape patiently waiting for me to photograph
it!!"....continued
Wakodatchee Wetlands is a Preserve, and beautiful nature spot, with a 3/4 mile boardwalk which provides education, pleasure and exercise for thousands of photographers, walkers, and environmentalists. It was set up by Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department for recycling/reclaiming water. See WAKO article.
