Here's another picture from Leanna. She says,
I received this beautiful photograph today from my friend Leanna Landsmann in upstate New York. Her summer garden is always a source of wonder for all who see it. And now, thanks to digital photography, you can see this colorful bouquet too! 
Above all, be at ease, be as natural and spacious as possible. Slip quietly out of the noose of your habitual anxious self, release all grasping, and relax into your true nature.
Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive, present, and at one with those around you and with what you are doing.
Here I am, 16 months old, in Forestville at the home of my paternal grandparents. I wish I knew what that cat and I said to each other!
When we let go of our battles and open our heart to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment.
The life each of us lives
When we release our sense of self-importance
Selfishly seek joy, because your joy is the greatest gift you can give to anyone. Unless you are in your joy, you have nothing to give away.
