The Trees are walking away from the forest that they’ve only known, fleeing invasive species that are killing them. Like refugees wandering into the unknown seeking safe grounds to flourish.  I dedicate this picture to all the refugees around the world who have endured the pain of this journey. I’ve donated money to humanitarian aides but still feel helpless as I watch this war unfold on Tv in my safe home. I will pay higher gas prices and bite my tongue as this is a small price to pay for what Putin is doing to Ukraine and the world.   I will cut back on other areas, like dining out, and buying unnecessary “stuff” and put that money towards Humanitarian Aid to help the people of Ukraine.  I write that because I saw a Ukrainian woman on the news say to the world, “appreciate the little things in life like seeing blue skies and breathing fresh air.” I do appreciate the little things in life and do this also in honor of her request, as I have a roof over my head and food in my fridge and for that I’m grateful.
