Reflections in the water and visitors in close up. . . .

“Take your heart out into vast fields of light and let it breathe.” - Hafiz

It has been very warm this week, so one day in search if its dappled shade,
we walked down this green lane . . .

and I came across clouds and trees living in the water. . .

The reflections were so detailed, it was as though the world was looking into a mirror.

"From wonder into wonder existence opens." - Lao Tzu

And later, when the sun shone and the garden was buzzing with life,
my camera and I saw the close up beauty of these flowers and their visitors.

"Life holds so many simple blessings,
each day bringing its own individual wonder. "
- John McLeod

Beautiful pictures. That shady lane could have been near my childhood home. Did you see Earlybird's reflections from New Zealand?

Susannah said...

Earlybird and Selma, thank you. x

Viv, yes I did! They were truly amazing weren't they?

Jinksy said...

Your eyes certainly found some beautiful things to see - or did the things find you, I wonder? LOL

Wonderful Susannah, I love the Red Admiral and your rudbeckias and your shady lane looks so cool and leafy. Beautiful days..

Absolutely love the butterfly. I chased a small white moth yesterday, but it just didn't want to stay still long enough for me to get a clear pic. Perhaps it heard my doc tell me to get more exercise? Whatever, I love your reflections on water, water always fascinates me. Mine, this week, was moving,

Good to see you all. x

Jinksy, that is the question! :-)


Morvah, we have drifts of rudbeckias in our front garden - like great swathes of sunshine! x


Elizabeth, I am sure your moth was in cahoots with your doctor! :-) Your moving water was gorgeous.


Paul, thank you, you have a wonderful week too. :-) x
