The days come and go so quickly, filled with multiple demands and delights. I grab my camera here and there to snatch a still moment and capture life's fleeting details.
A handmade Mother's Day card (by Miss O), lustrous silks, vivid fabrics - beautiful colours to rest my eyes on, even on days too full to sit and sew. The only deciduous tree in the park is showing the beginnings of autumn foliage while a lonesome magnolia clings to the last of summer's flowers while growing new buds for next spring.
Bromeliads in the garden amaze me with their riot of colours - the stigmas remind me of egg whisks. A special guest surprised us with a beautiful basket filled with fruit, a very welcome gift. Sunset walks are a rare treat during these busy weeks yet the sky holds wonderful colours these evenings which I pause to savour from wherever I find myself.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos from your world, Karen. Glad you can take some time to snap some photos.
ReplyDeleteA peaceful blogpost. You have a way with words Karen and capturing beautiful moments with photos. The sunset last night was extra special. I didn't get to capture it as I was helping our eldest son deliver junk mail. I savoured the beauty of the sunset. Julia xx
