Took a deep breathe and savoured your picture.

ReplyDeleteI want to crawl right into these images and sit a while.
ReplyDeleteBack into blogging again! Your blog is always an inspiration your pictures are awesome! Which camera were you using when you took these pics?
ReplyDeleteEvery word in the post is the truth and we can so easily forget it. Thank you for the reminder and the wonderful photos that let us stop a moment and take a breath.
ReplyDeleteall very real, very true, very life.
ReplyDeleteall of that and so much more but thing i like best lately is that knowing and being comfortable with 'it's not about me'
ReplyDeleteThis is good! I have a feeling your child will thank you for being an awesome mother... Sometimes not cleaning the sink and instead taking time for yourself are important prerequisites!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

ReplyDeleteYour images are most delightful. The sunflowers warm my heart while the raspberries are most titillating.
ReplyDeletegreat list... and, is that the simple supper? It looks great! What is it, recipe? ...
ReplyDeleteReading this post gave me the opportunity to sort out a horrible day. Thank you, thank you. I have been known to drive miles and miles just to see a field of sunflowers. My favorite was in southern France en-route to Rome on a train. If I could have stopped that train I would have. Thanks again for the memories! Your work is stunning.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post...it brought me peace.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear. You're so good.
