Sometimes in life
we just need to pause
and take stock
and shuffle our priorities a little.
Take time to smell the flowers
Create harmonious corners in our home
That allow us to enjoy shape and colour
To gather treasures from nature
and create a still life
Try it with spring flowers too
It's amazing what I found in my town environment!
The pollen from the catkins went just everywhere as you can see on the wooden surface!
We can create feelings of peace and beauty in our own homes.
Thank you to all those who follow my blog entries
and a special thank-you to those who take the time to leave comments
for they are always very much appreciated!
See you soon.
I'll be back in May!
Hi Sandra, I've just started blogging again and you are taking a break. Really pretty pictures here today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your break.
Take care!!:)
I love the woodland still life in grays and browns entwined with ivy. My blog breaks are always refreshing - I hope the same for you. It's snowing continualy here, so we hope to leave on a short trip into sunshine tomorrow. Enjoy your spring!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lovely time away from blogging.
ReplyDeleteyour photos are so lovely and refreshing to see.
sweet spring to you!
Sandra, each of these are simply magnificent!

ReplyDeleteYep we sometimes need to refuel and find out what is right with us and correct. Hope your time away is good. I love those little pansies in the small pitcher. I love seeing such set up in ones home. Have fun and come back soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! Yes, little breaks in routine are necessary from time to time!
DeleteThat very small pitcher/jug is usually used to serve cream with coffee. It's really tiny and three equally tiny viola flowers fit in!
Hi

I'm laughing because you are taking a break just when I finally have a chance to catch up with you here! These images are so lovely and so wonderfully creative.. I love the color combinations in each one. Enjoy you break, Sandra and hope to meet you back here soon.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....left a comment but I'm not sure it "took". Rather than trying to recreate the profound words I penned originally (ha!) I'll just say that I've enjoyed seeing your photographs and will be back again!
ReplyDeleteDear Sandra, it's always a pleasure to visit your blog. Such inspiration through your wonderful photos and words. Thank you for that, from deep inside my heart. Much love. Margarida
