The orange-pink hues filtered their luminous colour through my blinds when I got up at my usual early hour. On opening my blinds, I was greeted by this wonderful sunrise sky.
Savouring the moment in my kitchen at coffee time. My favourite time of the day when I watch the early morning light give me a moving show of light and shadows
and a lesson in awareness.
I opened the kitchen door and saw how a golden crown of florets had opened on my pink zinnia. What a marvel to observe such detail.
After a couple of weeks of heatwave, the thunder grumbled towards the evening
and I went for a walk with my umbrella.
I started off alongside some gardens
and loved listening to the pitter-patter of rain on the umbrella.
Noticing the reflections in the puddles
and smiling at the umbrella reflected in the wet pavement.
On one side of the sky, the crescent moon rose in the deepening purple hues
I prolonged my walk and was rewarded by this view as I came over the hill
I could see the mountain tops, appearing blue in the disappearing light.
Generous clouds in a luminous shade of pink rolled across the horizon.
Noticing the moments is one of the nicest things we can offer ourselves every single day.
Do you notice yours?

After taking a blog break, I felt the need to simplify and not overthink what I share here during the months of July and August. So I'm leaning towards something spontaneous and intuitive
and hope you will join me along the way.
