☀ Sunlit Sunday (#7): Plants and Swans

Whether you're here to add a link or visit those who have, WELCOME!

There was some intermittent sunlight this week and I snapped a few photos of the plants in my kitchen. I do not have a pretty view from that room's window, but feel fortunate that it faces south!

It may have been an overcast day on a recent walk, which included some swan-watching, but all was sunny for my friend on the right.

At least, for a little while!

This was the sky this morning. However, "sunlit" can be taken metaphorically. A poached egg on toast and cappuccino for breakfast, a cozy weekend while the snow flies - these keep my mood light!

What "sunlight" did you find this week?

♥ To Mother Nature, With Love ♥

A grey day...

a walk in nature...

a heart full of appreciation...

 

I'm happy to be linking with Little Red House for "Mosaic Monday".

Warm Wishes to all,

Swans A-Swimming: Enjoying Nature

I need to make a point of getting out into nature more often.

I'm very fortunate to live near several conservation areas, yet don't explore them nearly often enough. Earlier this week, the day before the the window incident, a friend and I took a walk that included forest, meadows, and these lovely creatures by the water. (I can never look at swans without thinking of Hans Christian Anderson and his ugly duckling story.)

There is something so soothing about looking into the eye of a beautiful, white swan, then spotting the dangling droplet of water just about ready to fall from its beak. Any second now...

This is one thing I like about blogging: I have people with whom I can share these photographs. I hope you enjoy seeing them.

I want to take more and more photos, because I'm noticing the details of things around me. Here, beads of water softy shimmer on a backdrop of delicate, damp, gray feathers.

It's time for me to wander off for awhile.

I hope you'll leave a comment; it's a real treat to read your reaction, whether its a memory triggered, an observation made, or simply a chance to say that you were here. 

Please visit again soon,
