The world seems to spiral in its craziness. Although I can do little to dampen, or control that craziness outside, I can try and (at least) cling to calm within my four walls. When my mind is whirring with turmoil and my spirit trampled, I can find solace surrounded by beauty and calm. I used … More Beauty And Calm
All too often things… happen. Whether good, or bad things, the weight of them is carried on shoulders, or deep in hearts… and sometimes some kind of distance is needed to reduce the impact, and lessen the burden. I may have lost my words a little at present, but the mindful action of building a … More Float Away Amongst The Stars.
She knew she needed a break. The first task was to pull out all the suitcases and bags she could find. Next was the task of deciding what to pack. It was always easy to decide on painting materials and a camera. A bottle of wine was stuffed into a holdall where it would be … More Packing Up
I am just climbing slowly out of the exhausting and mind-fog-bringing effects of Covid. I am finally feeling that I am getting back to being… me. Any little boost to my joy helps, and I was honoured to be chosen as one of the Salt & Pepper bloggers the other day. It… made… my… day! … More Floral Joy

Her luck was in as stood before the door of the wooden cabin she had rented down by the water. Before she had even pushed the key into the rusted lock, she allowed the calm … More A Place To Recharge
I live in England. I know better than to waste any time of sunshine. Summer is a fleeting, moving thing over here, and one that can seemingly be over in the blink of an eye! My childhood contained Augusts which were long, and baking hot. I am not sure if this is merely my mis-recollection … More Soak Up The Sun
So this picture could really seem to be an exercise to show how to tell when your Avatar is too short, but in reality the meadow grass and flowers were really tall… honestly! It made me chuckle though, and was very much part of what I was feeling drawn to write about today. I have … More Hiding In Nature!
The chance to take just a little more time over your first cuppa.. and wait for it to revive your mind. I always start each day with a cup of tea. Perhaps that is a British thing? Sure, I soon move to coffee, but it really is that first cup of tea which really seems … More Lazy Sunday
I admit, I totally stole the title of this piece from Maximillion Grant at LOGO. He’s chosen it as the strapline for his new head made especially for the Skin Fair. She’s called Veronica, and she totally fits the brief, as Max has created not only a new way to animate her, but something really … More Express Yourself!
