Rain Break

48 Comments

The almost continuous rain that we have been getting – although nothing like the inundation that the coast is presently experiencing – stopped for a bit during my afternoon ramble which made picture collecting a bit easier. Here’s a bit of what I saw.

A backlit pine cone …

… some very calm water highlighted by the merest hint of sky-pink as the blue hour settled in …

… and some lovely water reflections of both the sky and the city lights …

… while in the meantime the rhododendron buds await spring.

Happy Saturday.

Green and Serene

35 Comments

Research has shown that green is a calming colour, especially the green shades that are found in nature. I think this is very true, because I always feel better when I’ve had a little time outside.

Green reflections in a pond …
… and green reflections in a lake.
But no reflections here. Just the footbridge over the creek near our home, smothered in more luscious green.

Kermit the Frog sang about how it’s not easy to be green, but it’s certainly healthy for us to be surrounded by it!

Happy Tuesday.

Mellow Monday

25 Comments

Since today is election Monday, I think we can all do with a little mellowing out, especially after having performed our civic duty.

Think of a quiet place to sit in the warm spring sun …

… or a calming view ..

… or lovely pink blossoms …

… and remember that this process is almost over.

It’s a good thing to have a little mental breather before we get on with the election returns that will start happening this evening!

Happy Election Monday.
