Stop and smell the roses

With apologies for the misleading post title, I invite you to please enjoy these floral photos of spring (there aren't actually any photos of roses posted, and you couldn't smell them through your electronic device if you tried). Getting around carfree has brought me closer to nature, both physically and in the sense of deeper appreciation. Since I'm not cruising past nature inside a car at motor vehicle speeds, I more readily enjoy the sights, sounds, and even smells of nature. They fill my heart with love for Mother Earth, yet another reason why I love being carfree!
