Summertime means reading on the balcony surrounded
by my flowers and sipping peppermint or lemon verbena tea.
Deliciousness in every way!
Creating things with my crochet hook and soft colourful yarns
is something I really enjoy.
The current project is a pastel-coloured mandala to brighten a dark corner in my home.
Photography has become my passion!
The more I practice, the more I learn...
and the more I learn, the more I want to leave my comfort zone
and tread the untrodden path.
The art of photography brings me into total awareness
of the now.
Breakfast outside, facing the trees in a nearby small park
hearing the birds sing
and savouring the moment!
Now that's what I call Living with a capital L!
Joining in the monthly meeting with others here:
These pictures are lovely with all the flowers, nice balcony Sandra.
