Tantalizing Reflections

Windows are like mirrors to the beauty of the great outdoors...
Depending on the time of day, the season or the angle of light, reflections dance across an outside windowpane...



Be it vintage textiles airing on the line amidst a cloudy day...


Or a country field captured by the village church window...


The ability of the wavy glass to refract the vision before it is amazing...


August is upon us... enjoy the dog days of Summer!

Solitude and Serenity

In this sometimes obligatory world in which we dwell it is an indulgence to seek solitude and serenity...

As I come upon the stillness of a country cemetery, blessed with tranquil surroundings and soul stirring statues I find the moments I treasure...


Sometimes slumbering on the caressing folds of a much loved eiderdown quilt, good book or glossy magazine in hand... the time passes at an easy and gentle pace...


Even strolling amongst the pathways of the garden where bright candyfloss pink hydrangea beckon a passing butterfly ...


the fragile petals of the mop-cap variety appear like tiny elfin parasols and the first petite florets
begin to unfold on the gooseneck flowers I drink in the beauty that abounds...


Hope you're enjoying your Summertime splendor too!
