the tiniest of tree frogs .. .
this week has been a most beautiful array of vegetation & wildlife!!! anyone would think we lived on a nature reserve .. . how lovely!!! sometimes all the effort is so worthwhile!!! precious thoughts

~ purple mist.

a gentle haze awakens me today .. .

~ the last several days have been awaking to a gentle drizzle, feeling completely surrounded in a canopy of moisture & silver-white cloud, most beautifully so!!! the fresh smell of the breeze & the dripping raindrops that slip politely from the edge of a leaf, puddles in walkways & the damp soil that cleans the tree roots ~

loveliest thoughts!!!

Indian feathers & riding horses bareback .. .

.. . i think i can!!! :)

today is seeing the setting sun float directly over the crest of an eminent mountain, the countryside beshrouded* in golden air {*i know its not a word but i think it could be}

~ & a little prayer for the "ghosttown" that has become Christchurch[New Zealand] .. .
Deliverance,
Hasten to my side!

p.s ever since i saw this collection by Romina Bacci {via Pia's wondrous blog} i have been utterly enchanted about the idea of photographing emotions! i saw this & felt like she had captured me on film, not my appearance or aesthetic or the cheerfulness i like to depict in my photos, or the delicate fragrance of a blossoming bud, but my inner essence, most remarakbly! & so since then i have thought those are the kind of photos that i would be too terrified to take, it is such a risk!!! your innermost heart & emotive reckoning, but i suppose this post, is the one of my own in which i have been able to capture what is most me {not that magnolias, feathers & horses are my favourite things, but that i do admire their magnificent stature & beauty & grace - & the tones of the photos too :) } its the combination of thought/pattern/tone/subject to create an emotion & warmth of spirit, to reflect things/values/attributes/meanings i hold dear

adorned by apricot petals ~

these days .. .
are ours, to make!!!
{adorned by fragrant petals,
seeds we sow,
& [free from]weeds we pull .. . we can make our gardens lovely, day by day!!!

beautiful thoughts for you

O pale wind,

loving this song, & seeing my blog in this flourishingly luminous language :)
