Flower patchwork.

So that you can see the process that goes on when I create a patchwork image.

I started with a sweet little flower photo, that I took last summer.

I was a bit bored today, and needed something to create!

So I flipped it, a number of different ways, sometimes cropping the image until I got quite a few choices of images to choose from.

Tiled a bit...

And a bit more...

Till it turned out like this!

Most of the delicate detail is lost. I think if it was printed huge, wall size, the detail 

would still be visible.

 

                                                         Found some gorgeous fae, too!

Seat of The Soul

I always imagine the spirit as a part that does not really belong to our bodies. 

It is so much more than that.

Sometimes it rises, sometimes it falls. 

Yet in all cases, it transcends all those simple, earthly things. 

It is a matter of wonder and ethereal beauty.

At the seat of the Soul.

Spin

Sometimes a spinning world is a good thing.

Lady bug

Today we went to the forest with our children.There was plenty to photograph, but mostly what got me excited, were the Ladybird beetles! Yellow ones! They kept flying off, and our daughter got antsy with me trying to get a decent photo... ( she is the impatient one in the family... wonder where she got that from??? ) So we went for our walk, and on the way back, I told the kids that if they found one and let me photograph it, I would give them a prize. ( Usually it's chocolate! ) Some time past looking for one, when Gisele came up to me and exclaimed, "mummy, you have one in your hair!" It must have come for our entire walk with us! Oh So Sweet! I felt very lucky!

Here she/he is!

Stand Quietly

Stand quietly.

Stop moving and just breathe.

Only then can you hear the beauty of life speak.

Sunshine

Some days, you just have to create your own bit of sunshine.

Happiness

Happiness is not something you get in life.
It is something you bring to it.

Foggy Morning in Hahndorf.

Even on a day when the clouds are low. The crisp air is making smoke of my breath, and I have frozen toes, I have to stop and wonder at the beauty of where I live. Its views, vistas and it's gorgeous foggy mornings.
