any roadside weeds
while driving

Take the time to smell the roses as they say and even though these are just weeds, their beauty is undeniable if we just take the time to enjoy them. Thanks Michael and have a wonderful day.

Nobody has got time for hikes anymore.
And it’s all business now. You pay to hike.
