… reading in bed, candles, diving into a new project, learning something new, crisp crunchy leaves underfoot, hearing my daughter laugh, starting a new book, finishing a book, organizing, floating on my back in the pool and staring at the sky, writing, craft supplies, photography, poetry, a good massage, knowing smiles, singing along to the radio, getting things done, comfy bedding, hot chocolate, paying attention to the details, libraries and bookstores, campfires, astronomy, finding beauty in the everyday, impromptu road trips, quiet, journaling, learning about myself, waking up and reading in bed (preferably with coffee), home, interesting flowers, affection, Sleepytime tea, capturing a moment in time with my camera, true laughter, soft rain.

My thoughts exactly, Belen. Thank you for stopping by!
This is such a moving post. I love the photo, and the quote sums up the reasons why I love Nature so much, and why I find refuge and comfort in it when life is especially tough.
Thanks for sharing!
your keen eye for beauty and your skill as an attuned photographer continue to impress me, dear one! i adore you!
Thank you, dear one.
I like it – words and image. I think one of the biggest benefits I got from taking up photograpy was acquiring the habit of just stopping for a few moments and noticing the beauty that is all around – instead of just rushing through life.
Your photography is amazing! And thank you… I totally agree that slowing down and viewing life through the camera lens makes all the difference.
