Nimma is the softest white dog you've ever met. As such, she needs to have the softest bed you've ever felt to lay on, and the softest stuffy you've ever met to cuddle with at naptime. Put them together - a whole happy, warm mess o'softy!
Most mornings I get up early to let the dogs out (saves me having to clean up the floor later!). This morning I woke up groaning when the biggest dog nosed me, annoyed to have to get up 'early' on Sunday morning, but she was ready to go. When I took them outside this was the view that greeted me. I saw beautiful morning sunlight streaming through the trees along our street, and remembered why some mornings it was better to be up with the birds. What a nice way to start the day!
I never used to drink red wine. To be honest, I used to detest it. After wrinkling my nose and screwing up my face after every sip offered over the years my friends always said, "you'll like it when you grow up" (ha, ha, ha)... I hate when they're right
I love having flowers in the house, despite the fact that their beauty is so tangibly fleeting. One moment you have this luscious, rich, velvety petalled perfumed beauty, and soon a browning, wilted bloom that once was beautiful. The chance to seek out beauty when something is not "what it was" is a true gift of nature.
At just the right time in the morning, Lotus has about a half hour of bright sunlight sitting on her favorite armchair... she always tucks herself up so small. Then when I try to take her picture she usually squints or makes faces, but today was a good day!
Today was a special day, a cause for flowers. A few of us were of that opinion, so there were flowers all over the place at home!! With the plethora of beautiful flowers surrounding me I *had* to make my picture of the day one of them (and believe me, there were a hundred photos to pick from!!).
The sky, the trees, the lines of the road and the spots from the sun, I loved all the lines and shapes in this early morning view. If you look closely you can see a heart on the road and heaven in the skies.
Well, that was my week. Plenty of time and plenty of opportunity for spotting beautiful moments in my life. Thank you for coming here to share it with me, I hope you enjoy looking at the photos even half as much as I enjoy taking them! Wishing you a beautiful week... S.

ReplyDeleteI'm happy you're enjoying it so far. It actually feels really rewarding to put the whole week together and write about it!
ReplyDelete"Heaven Awaits" is my new fave too (and I should go back to that spot and take a better picture of the heart for your 'hearts' page (which I love!))!
I did do a bit of editing. I erased a street sign from the far end of the road (I didn't think heaven was saying '30kph'), and I erased some power lines that were strung across the top, and I deepened the shadows on the lawn just a touch...
