Best Shot Monday



I wish I had some children living here with me, so that I could show you all some light-hearted shots of them having fun and frolicking about. Alas, I have only my Todd and my Jess . . . and Todd's a tad past the frolicking stage of life, but I do love this picture of him and Jess in my favourite spot. That lovely tree branch just begs to be reclined upon. It's such a peaceful spot, all mossy and green with that lovely canopy of leaves overhead . . .

"Life's sweetest things are the quiet things.
A Happy life consists of the tranqullity of mind."

This is my entry in this weeks, Best Shot Monday. Now hop on over to Mother May I and see some of the other wonderful entries for this week!

  1. It is late so I am just dropping in for a minute to say hello. I will read the rest of your post tomorrow when Austin gets me up early. For now I'll just say that I love the picture of Todd and Jess and the beautiful tree. No wonder you love it there.

    Have a great Monday....I will catch up with you in a few hours.

    Love, Lura

  3. What a lovely shot of Todd and Jess! Oh what a joy to be able to "meet" your sweetie today. :) That looks like a truly lovely spot, too. We have an apple tree in the back yard ... it's a large tree with a cradle in the middle. I often see my children perched there. Sometimes reading a book, sometimes with an electronic game. Sometimes just enjoying nature for all that it holds.

    Many days I get frustrated with my busy, bustling life and daydream about quiet afternoons when the children are grown and have busy families of their own to care for. But I know deep inside that it was be very empty ... so I'm learning to slow down a little and trying to take notice of little things so this time isn't one big blur-of-a-memory.

    I would happily lend you a couple of my littles for the day! They would LOVE to come bake in your kitchen. :)

    Hoping you had a lovely weekend and enjoy the week ahead.

    Kindly,
    Dana
