When I was travelling overseas what first struck me, especially in Europe, was just how different nature and the environment is over there compared to Australia. There's no harshness or feeling of danger (except the occasional sighting of poison ivy!). I had my first wild blackberry picked from a bush in rural France.
As soon as I step outside I am always struck by the beauty and serenity of nature, but never more so than when I stopped at a farm and found this flower, a poppy, I think, sitting in a field of green. This is on the sight of the Battle Of Normandy and is a perfect example that as humans come and go, nature lives on as a permanent reminder.
poignant reflection Veronica and a touching moment and memory.
