Seaside is calling me, maybe I'll be gone for a  week or two. Speak to you all soon. xxx

Things I noticed today  sleeping beauty much need precipitation foliage just lapping it up  this familiar green and pleasant land

I have no pictures today  just a story that was passed on to me, I'm passing on in response to  Rebecca's Postcards from Paradise and  the wishes of the story teller> This is wonderful story and a good reminder to always be kind because everyone has something going on in their lives at some point that we're not aware of and also, some day, we may be the person needing the act of kindness.  The  Cab Ride  I arrived at the address and honked the horn.  after waiting a few minutes I walked to the  door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a  frail, elderly voice. I could hear something  being dragged across the floor. After  a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in  her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a  print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned  on it, like somebody out of a 1940's  movie. By her side was a small nylon  suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had...

These are shadows  of my expanding dream container, I'm starting to draw my  attention to the real thing, the fine focus! Dreams can be both joy inducing and daunting  at the same time. Right now I'm focusing on something  important to me, sometimes I just want it to slip back into the shadows where it can just be without real form. But for dreams to come true and bring me JOY I must focus! Visit  Meri's Musings for other Joyful encounters & Kateyeview - Don't Reject Yourself

Dancing shadows, they have a life of their own, of another world...    after watching them for awhile I hopped over to the magical box and digitised them! Wonderbubble!

I'm feeling a little giddy at the moment! things have moved on for me, I have a couple of things in 'the pipe line' This was my 'dreamboard' offering  for Jamie Ridler's Full Moon Dreamboards from a year ago, see ~ Full Pink Moon The first exciting thing is  I'm starting to create my own Photo-Blog-Book here's a sample page on my screen, will need a bit of tweaking, I usually assemble the whole book and tweak at the end when I do any DTP work. But the most exciting thing I'm making s-t-r-i-d-e-s towards  is tied up in the message of this intuitive Dreamboard ~ Full Pink Moon It's something I've been working towards for quite awhile, at least in my head! I must say I'm a bit scared, because this means I have to step outside my Comfort Zone! It's not in the bag yet! It may not even get off the ground! If it does I will be so excited and nervous at the same time. I'm going to have to lock my fears away, get ou...

Rebecca  of  Recuerda mi Corazon  asks How did the sun rise in you this morning? I have to answer with peace and tranquillity. Yesterday's melancholy vanished in the vapour of dawn early whilst still sleeping,  slipping back to wherever it came from? Some days are like this,   feeling like there is no sun, only clouds.  We know the sun rises everyday,  but we're just not feeling or seeing it! Other days, it's brilliance is so overwhelming illuminating every flower, leaf, shiny surface,  reflecting in every drop of water as pools of heaven. It's just the way it is!

My boat's been bobbing about on the bay of melancholy all day, my view of paradise is blurred and seems so faraway, I must wait upon the tide having faith that all things will turn, a lesson  more than well rehearsed, but really,  did I ever learn?  Postcards from Paradise waiting at Recuerda mi Corazon

Not a last swan song, certainly no empty nest, just the beginning! Visit the lovely  Rebecca at Recuerda mi Corazon for more haiku posts

crystal clear Light shone on big blousy blooms now fading with night as new days loom floral shadows are all that remain,  a gilded band and memory of sweet refrain ~~~~

Sun sinking low in the studio, thoughts turn to our own fashion fandango ... Do I go red? or gold? Oh, the pleasures of paradise at least for a few days! May Day today and the return of our little house martins, they made it all the way from Africa! All that distance to find this little island, this little hamlet, this little cottage, how clever is that? Speaking of talent, I'm in awe of the incredible skills shown by all the artists who have so generously given of themselves to support Rebecca in Visit and see for yourself at Recuerda mi Corazon
