Up the hill with tulips

The art of petals

The marvellous union of pink and green

Mysterious openings

Watercolour tones appear through my lens

A softer focus on my day

A vase of loveliness

and a single bloom against the light.

The turnaround

Rainy Saturday

Trudging up the hill from the shops

The shopping caddie is heavy

 the other two bags are slipping from my grip

The umbrella is wobbling dangerously...

What a life!

I start to laugh at the situation

and this creates a turnaround in my way of seeing things!

With each new step,

I can see things in a completely different light

How lucky I am!

My shoes don't leak

I have the shops within walking distance

I have a shopping caddie with wheels

An umbrella to protect me from the heavy rain

I have a bunch of pink tulips in my bag.

And,

when I was chatting with an old friend over the phone later that day,

she reminded me that I had feet!

I

have

feet.

The Presence of Colour

Surrender

Presence

Flow

Follow the path before you

with simplicity.

As I bring my full attention to colour and form and flow

I enter and connect with these things on a vibrational level.

Have you ever noticed how different colours touch you differently?

These golden tones swirl around me like liquid sunshine

and the soft greens speak to me of new openings

and fresh beginnings

of moving forward in my life

in all that is important.

Life is like an abstract

It seems to me

that life is like an abstract

and we take out the parts that are superfluous

and concentrate on those we really want to see.

We encounter crossroads

and there are choices to be made

There are ups and downs and many learning curves

The sunlight filters in

bathing all in a joyful light

and we stop

to notice the beauty and the simplicity

pulling back a little

to see the bigger picture

and to notice how everything is so intricately connected.

Ever since I was a child,

I've been forever fascinated by the play of light and shadows

on the curtains against my windows.

Light and shade

One cannot exist without the other.

Add a little breeze from the open window

and just be still

to contemplate the ever-changing wonder before you.
