There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

Love New Zealand's Tree of the Year - and would love to see it for myself.
ReplyDeleteYou're a lot closer to it than I am. Take lots of pictures.
DeleteI like the "walking tree" too, and #15 looks like a nice place for a summer picnic.
ReplyDelete#15 is obviously in some park with those picnic benches.
Delete#20 is a beautiful, peaceful scene. We need more such.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how long I would last there. It would depend on how close the nearest grocery store is.
DeleteNew Zealand has a tree of the year? What a great tradition!
ReplyDeleteCanada has a tree of the year site too. https://treetrust.ca/tree-of-the-year/
DeleteMy favorite this week is #16.
ReplyDeleteI almost didn't post that because it's more of a sky picture than a tree picture. But the colors changed my mind.
DeleteLovely photos. And thanks so much for the Trump countdown clock, that's just the thing I need
ReplyDeleteI had a little trouble getting that countdown clock to fit. I tried so many things I couldn't tell you what finally worked.
DeleteNew Zealand and Australia have some of the most unique trees.
ReplyDeleteThey have unique everything.
DeleteThanks Mike. I always enjoy seeing what you find. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI would love to go for a stroll with a tree in New Zealand but #20 is where I want to be this week.
ReplyDeleteYou and Bilbo can build a cabin there together.
DeleteBeauty, fun, joy and wonderment this week. So soothing. Especially like #12. Thanks!
ReplyDelete#12 is an interesting tree.
DeleteOh no! Spammed again!
ReplyDeleteHere you are!
DeleteWait...there I am! Sorry.
ReplyDeleteYou're up ^ there.
DeleteNumber 19 may be as close to abstract art as nature gets.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they could pull themselves up and walk away.
