My old campervan 'Celeste' returned from our latest wanderings on the back of a lorry,
she is very very sick, but my love is taking good care of her
and she is undergoing restorative treatment!
In the mean time we have pastured her for recuperation
in the most beautiful, peaceful spot in our garden,
next to the pond looking out to the countryside.
We sat with/in her for awhile today,
a kind of 'staycation'.
The views are just as stunning here as anywhere,
I am so grateful for the paradise we tend...
the fields beyond are now being harvested and as I sat
sipping wine with my love I zoomed in with the lens....
I have much admiration for my farmer neighbours,
they work so hard in all weathers but
today must have been a sheer pleasure for them,
the sun has been shining...
It wasn't until editing the images that I realised this was a family affair,
when you look closely (click the image) at the cab of the big yellow combined harvester
you can faintly detect a mother and child helping with the big work
of gathering the Bread Basket for Britain!

art of reaping
art of raising
art of continuing
art of the earth and the family.
you DO live in paradise...so peaceful and full of life. To watch those tend the fields and harvest for the community.
such pastoral beauty!!

And you have a lovely piece of paradise! Gave me goosebumps to see the English Countryside - maybe because it is in my blood on both sides of my family! Small world, ey?
Shadowy Sunrise in Paradise

any time i can be next to you is a sweet slice of paradise!
lovely blue skies...and since i cannot seem to get across the ocean, that insists on coming between us, i hope the shining sun will deliver a warm hug from me your way.
