and I am glad it's nearly over.
but in the midst of it all I found an hour or two to escape, and sit in the gardens and look at the tulips
and soak up the calmness that was all around, breathing in the beauty
and making a new friend.
Yesterday I needed a reminder to breathe, and I thought about these images locked away safe in my camera, and this morning I downloaded them, and the sense of calm reappeared, so I thought I would share them with you.
enjoy.
breathe.
have a good weekend x
I hope your weekend gives more room to breathe. I love your little friend and tulips! Juliex
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures...glad that looking back on them brought you back to a place where you 'remembered to breathe' I have always thought about making myself a book/album of photos, cards anything that I enjoyed, was special to me and took me back to a place of peace. I still think it's a good idea......
ReplyDeleteHullo there. Sorry I have neglected you this week but I have had a mad one too. I love your new friend. Especially as he is the kind who will just listen and not make any judgements... Like another silent amigo I happen to know!
ReplyDeleteBreathe deeply my friend, Ax
more lovely tulips!
ReplyDeleteby the way the bright mobile not made by me but brought in Switzerland!
I too have two lego mad sons and a house full of the stuff!!
thanks Tracey.
DeleteYour photos are lovely, and I find looking at flowers very calming too. It's nice to find a few quiet moments to enjoy them and feel soothed. I hope your weekend brings you some more of those moments too.

it certainly is, especially when tulips are involved x
DeleteHope all is okay there xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI have been needing to remind myself all week long to stop holding my breath, as we pack and move my mum and deal with all of the emotional stuff that comes with that. Cannot wait to have, well, a breather, and to catch up with dear pen pals... xoxoxoxoxoxo
I love the raspberry ripple tulip. Suzy x
ReplyDeleteI can sally identify with this at the moment and it's a good message to remember from time to time. It reminds me of one of my favourite poems; Leisure by W. H. Davies
ReplyDelete'What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare...'
Annoying predictive text feature strokes again, for sally read really!
