Summertime

Welcome to a (short) catch up of what's been happening in my world this summer. It's all about making the most that we can of all the fairs, festivals, day trips, weekend trips, concerts, hiking, picnics, graduations and whatnots that we all celebrate before mother nature brings a wintry mix. 

In the Summertime

Take time to not just see but feel simple pleasures.  Don't allow seemingly insignificant moments happen your way without noticing. By doing this you will uncover a wealth of beauty and depth of knowledge that surprises you.

 

"We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen."

D. H. Lawrence

 

Tastes those surprises, like ice cream. Drinks that cool you. Cookies with sprinkles.

"I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I've touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much to visual - we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong."

D. H. Lawrence

Stop and smell the flowers. Feel the breeze. Here the birds.

Art and artwork within your photographs. Showing without words.

"Art is what gets us beyond what is real. It makes reality more real. It also shortens the distance we have to travel to see how connected we are."

Build more Cairns. Share Cairns. Leave unexpected Cairns.

"If I have done anything, even a little, to help small children enjoy honest, simple pleasures, I have done a bit of good."

Beatrix Potter

"Discarded lay all the dreams in the bin of unwanted things.

 Till you come and set them free and to soar, gave them wings."

Neelan Saxena Chandra

"Try not to become a man of success.

 Rather become a man of value."

Albert Einstein

Below is a quick look at what's our way!

"It's the simple things in your life that make up the bulk of it. The mundane is where we live, and we end up missing most of it. We find it again in the silence and in the attention of everyday life."
