Today I choose to be overwhelmed with gratitude ....

There are images in life that stop us from our tracks ,every once in awhile Mother Earth gives me a delicious display of beauty that literally takes my breath away .I just clumsily try to capture these precious moments .

Pale Blue Bliss...

 

I love to take a little time to celebrate every season in small ways every day .Yesterday it was a lazy Sunday after a crazy week .In the late afternoon I enjoyed a quiet, relaxing walk along the beach with camera on hand . It seems summer doesn't want to leave us in the dark hands of autumn :) ....but there's something in the air that says Autumn is here

I really adore Autumn which turns into a walkway of golden and rusty red colored  colors .I've always said it's my favorite season but to live near an ever-changing element like the sea gives you another perspective .I'm lucky enough to live near the coast and watch the ever-changing colours and moods. I am very aware of the seductive power of the landscape and I know it finds a way into my work and my mood . The sea gives from its depths plenitude to all beings living in or near her in each and every sense and her changing colors actually gives you the chance to observe the weather coming towards . Timeless beauty thrills in every season in a different way and today it looks like pale blue...

"Mediterraneo"
(Music and lyrics by Joan Manuel Serrat)

 

 "Quizá porque mi niñez sigue jugando en tu playa
y escondido tras las cañas duerme mi primer amor,
llevo tu luz y tu olor por dondequiera que vaya,
y amontonado en tu arena tengo amor, juegos y penas...."

 

"Perhaps because on your beaches my childhood still is playing

and concealed behind the swaying reeds my first love lies asleep.

Your light, your smell are what I keep wherever I may be staying.

And on your sand I’ve been piling Love and games and pain...."

 

 

Eternal....
