Just a little thing

Whenever you are creating beauty around you,
you are restoring your own soul.
Alice Walker

First day back to work after the holidays. It’s surprisingly warm around here, a beautiful January day.

Wishing you a great week ahead!

I’m so glad to live in a world where there are Octobers
LM Montgomery

The weather was gorgeous this weekend, I had a long walk outdoors and I was so pleased to see beauty in every corner.

Like this visitor in our small bay. Blue heron birds generally stop by this time of the year during their migration to the south. It’s not easy to get them to be still for the photo, I think this one enjoyed all the attention.

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I was a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns”
George Eliot

The trees are beautiful and graciously letting go of their leaves.

And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and Autumn was awakened
Raquel Franco

Glad I could enjoy this warm weekend outdoors, and I cleaned up the backyard and the barbecue as well. It’s time to turn my attention to indoors and inward to myself.

I hope you had a great weekend and a lovely starting of the week.

Noticing # 69

I’ve just noticed that my last ‘noticing’ post was in May! Oh my goodness! How the time flies and I let go of things that give me pleasure so easily!

First of all: Happy new season to you!

In my part of the world, we are entering Autumn. It’s so pretty out there! I had a long walk in the woods this weekend, noticing how slowly the changes are happing, how the earth is getting ready for the winter.

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Wildflowers

These pretty ones have their own charm! They made think about simplicity, grounding, and like people, the true essence is what matters.

There are as many ways of loving as there are people, and that wildflower variety is the great beauty of this dimension of existence.
Rumi

Wishing you a lovely Sunday!

Happy September to you!

The weather is getting cooler and the sunlight is gorgeous in the mornings and at the end of the day. September gives us a taste of the fall when Earth has a party of colours.

One-Liner Wednesday :: Grounded

“Flying starts from the ground. The more grounded you are, the higher you fly.”
J.R. Rim

Interesting is that I’m not grounded at all, not sure why I’ve chosen this quote for today. Maybe because I’m searching for grounding after my vacation. I took this photo last week during my flight back home. It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for ‘cloud’ photography.
