As I leave the house, I pass the iris leaning softly into a sea of green leaves
I notice shapes and details and colours as I stroll and unravel my day
tiny grasses sway and tremble on Nature's summer blanket
and a single stem brings me back to simplicity
Fresh green foliage waves me on my way
Soft tendrils brush away the little knots that appeared during the day
and the last rays of sunshine illuminate the trunk of a tree
reminding me
to come back to my centre.
Dappled skies show that a change could be expected
yet on the other side, the innocent pink and blue sky enhances the clear-cut silhouette
of a tree
and gives me another point of view.
Do you like to unwind in nature at the end of your day?
It helps me let go of all that has passed
and brings me back into the moment
I am actually living.

Beautiful, beautiful images Sandra, thank you, I feel unwound just looking at them :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! The photos helped tell your story marvelously. I just love the grasses and the fuzz. I always look to Nature for calm and to teach me lessons I maybe know but forgot.
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful pictures Sandra, I love them all. There sure is a lot of beauty in this big old world isn't there? :))
ReplyDeleteI love your narrative that goes with these wonderful images, Sandra! Very creative interpretation! Nature can comfort us in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteOh yes . . . Mother Nature sure can be calming . . . unless she's having a hissy fit and throwing thunder and lightning around the skies. Here she is obviously in tranquil mood . . . lovely.

Sandra ~ Nature is the best place to re-group! It always brings me back to what is important. My fav images are # 6 & 7. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'll write soon....have had company, so it's been more than the usual craziness at my house :)
Beautiful, peaceful post! I don't get to stroll much in the evening. We're plagued by mosquitoes! But, strolling in the morning helps me start my day!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous pictures Sandra! I actually like to walk my little dog in the morning, we both get a great deal of pleasure being in the woods and we're both a lot calmer for the rest of the day!
