Grateful

memory
self-portrait in saratoga woods


In the forest, my worries disappear.

My time is spent embracing what I see and what I hear.
The different earth scents fill my head and revive me.
The wind moves the trees above.
And I, now fully awake, breathe in the crisp air and walk with a lighter step.

I am grateful for this island and the peace it has brought me.

Reasons to be grateful indeed and for the forest where your worries disappear.

Love this shot-a sense of mystery often appeals to me. I too find myself contemplative walking in the woods alone.

Oh, wonderful, so mysterious! I feel the same way when walking alone in the forest, but there isn't any near me here. Thanks for letting me visit yours.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
