Upshots, Offshoots And

Other Shots In The Dark

 

The way things connect and interrelate is interesting to me.  I can’t say it is always understandable.  But it is definitely interesting. 

 

 

Kinda like hunches, gut reactions and seemingly solvable mysteries they remain a constant companion. And unlike some farfetched predictions and some other forecasts, there may be a bit more credence associated with some over others.



For example, we can see how nature shares its beauty with us.  And agree that it happens often but are also aware its force is demonstrated in ways that destroy and devastate. 

 

Even when we are not discussing how nature can impact 

us, we see how similar occurrences may be more than mere guesswork but there is no guarantee.  Questions remain and maybe the answer(or answers) will come. Immediately. Eventually. And in all sorts of ways. Speaking of nature, of course. And otherwise.

Mother nature...much like some people in our lives, it is best to stay on her good side.

Joan Cox - there all sorts of things that can prove challenging to achieving that right shot.

 

Sharon Tara - ain't that the truth?  I couldn't have said it any better.

Michael Jacobs I'm deeply into hunches. I think the way things interconnect is on another plane, but we can tie into it.

Hi Michael... mother nature for sure can be both beautiful and dangerous. But that's true about many aspects of life, I've found. Meantime, I'm all about trusting my gut instincts... I've found that when I don't is when I run into issues.

Hi Michael- Mother Nature can offer us so many beautiful things...sunsets, flowers, butterflies, and yet she is like the benevolent ruler of a kingdom that you dare not cross. Florida added the melaleuca tree years ago to dry up the Everglades and did not realize that it began destroying the natural habitat.

Wendy Rulnick - I am sure your experience impacts your gut instinct - that seems to be the case when the right decision is made.

 

Nina Hollander, Broker - nature is not alone in this discussion.  That's for sure.

 

Kathy Streib - I am not familiar with that - unintended consequences???

Morning Michael.

In my younger days I would wonder and think about what Mother Nature would bring, now if I wake up, regardless it is going to be a wonderful day.

Michael Jacobs - Mother Nature is as complicated as she is beautiful. Mother Nature always teaches us lessons. We just need to listen and that's the upshot.

Hi Michael Jacobs - All I can say is Mother Nature is fickled, dangerous, yet most beautiful and awe-inspiring. We should all respect her.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - yes, nature is both and so many, if not all, things in lives cannot be divided into two distinct groups.  It's not that simple.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® - I know what you mean but I don't know about the word "fickle" but that's certainly one of polite words that could apply.

Hi Michael! I believe that Mother Nature is amazing, breathtaking and awe-inspiring...but, it's best not to mess with her because she does have a bit of an temper if we do! 

Seriously, I'm fortunate to live in an area that has few weather events. I can't imagine living in any other part of the country and having to suffer the wrath of Mother Nature each year (or so).
