… reading in bed, candles, diving into a new project, learning something new, crisp crunchy leaves underfoot, hearing my daughter laugh, starting a new book, finishing a book, organizing, floating on my back in the pool and staring at the sky, writing, craft supplies, photography, poetry, a good massage, knowing smiles, singing along to the radio, getting things done, comfy bedding, hot chocolate, paying attention to the details, libraries and bookstores, campfires, astronomy, finding beauty in the everyday, impromptu road trips, quiet, journaling, learning about myself, waking up and reading in bed (preferably with coffee), home, interesting flowers, affection, Sleepytime tea, capturing a moment in time with my camera, true laughter, soft rain.

Ooooh love these photos!
Poetic and grand. Enjoyed joining you on your stroll.
Beautiful photos.
Beautiful! What a neat place to wander through with your camera, so much rich history!
Great photos! As usual…..:)
It never ceases to amaze me how similarly we see life. Many times when I see photos, I think if I had been the photographer, I’d have taken the shot just a little differently. With yours, not only do you photograph the same things, but from the same perspective. So, obviously, I think they’re wonderful! Heeheehee!

I love that we have the same perspective, Janet! I know just what you mean.
