Just Breathe ...

Hello again :)

My topic choice for the blog this week had everything to do with

trying to de-stress after a particularly difficult few weeks...

But the truth is one doesn't need a family tragedy to suffer the effects of 

how hectic life can be ...

So the brief was...to shoot what make us feel better...

but as always it's open to interpretation...

:)

Here's what i shot :)     

I find the sound of water to be very soothing... 

I also enjoy 'blue' water the most ...

 and  bubbles ...and the

 sparkles trapped within...

Especially the sea...the sea gets me EVERY TIME :)

 luv the look of it on a sunny day...

and the sound of the waves crashing onto the rocks or the beach...

LUV IT !

 apparently there is a lot 'they' can tell

 about a person

 by the body of water you imagine when you close your eyes...

While i was lying on the very hard paving to get my shots...

Bradley was sitting calmly...

 swishing the toy through the waters...

and watching him ... i felt ...

i could... 'just breathe'...

and that he was doing just that :)

It was also relaxing to watch this leaf floating around...

helped along by the breeze blowing...

As it approached the 'waterfall' i wondered...

if it would go [directly] under...

it didn't...

and i was somehow... happy...

I have come to know...

I AM... a 'nurturer'...

Yes i can work hard [alongside my husband] and i do ...

but the thing i love most is to nurture the ones i love...

with words and touch...

and my understanding... 

While i have gotten my hands 'dirty' in our garden... 

it's always been because i love my husband...and not gardening...

  i understand that he needs 'a helper'...

in this... 'our life'

we are a team he and i :)

Being the 'nurturer' i mostly enjoy watering the garden...

the sights and sounds...the warm sun on my skin...and the wind in my hair...

being outdoors is food for my soul...i enjoy bird watching...and am always inspired... 

Not everyone loves the wind...but i do not mind it...

it makes things look different...alive...

and it sounds magical...racing through the trees...

As any coffee-lover will tell you...

that cup waiting to be sipped... is...

... 5 min of bliss :) 

I mentioned the wind earlier...now it's the turn of the wind-chime...

U CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER

:)

it's another sound i find soothing...

probably not in a hurricane mind you... lol

  but...

on my 'stoep'... very nice ! 

Merita's Take...

Mozambique

So relaxing.

After I have dropped the children at school is my time to “just breathe” as there is no moaning or fighting just silence and of course my tea.

Relaxed and not getting up to any nonsense.

Love this picture of his nose………………..just breathing.

That's All Folks :)

well for this week anyway :)
