...just read your comment on Martial Arts. I hope you find something that suits you as it is so good for the soul. I didn't get on with yoga or pilates at all but T'ai Chi suits me & I like our teacher a great deal - you need to feel comfortable in class & we have a lovely supportive group. It's difficult to assess the Chi Kung as it's not her usual class out there on the beach ! Good luck xx
I've always appreciated the Southwest custom of setting out luminaries during the darkest time of year, so I like the image of having blooms as luminaries (in the summer!) to light the way.
Dianne, It is a beautiful photograph, the flower is so delicate and it is the shape of a luminaria. I lived in Santa Fe for a couple years. The sunlight kisses the flower so sweetly. You caught the light so well. It is wonderful to think of the natural world cooperating with us in this way. Noelle
me again ! Your comment made me smile- my husband bought a suit for our wedding but only had a short sleeved shirt, sailing shoe & didn't get his hair cut. His dad was cross with him so I said, " well- it's just as well it's ME marrying him then " !!! He looks good in a dinner suit ( inherited from his uncle ) and sometime wears a kilt but always manags to still be the scruffy sailor he is .xx
Such a lovely light in this photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love, "turns blooms to luminaries to light my way home."
That is a fantastic photo. I've never seen such a beautiful capture of light. Very good stuff.
ReplyDeletePeace.
That bloom does look like it is being lit from within. Beautiful.
