Bridge of illumination

Living Colourful

Sometimes things just need livening up a little!

Time for some relaxation

Makes me want to lay back, relax and doze under the warmth of the shining sun.

Feeling somewhat surreal

My Special Place

If I seem distant, as if a thousand miles away,
If I appear not to hear what you say.
There are times that no matter how much I care,
I turn around and give you a totally blank stare.

I am not really uncaring, I care very much,
But at times like these
I find it hard to smile and such.
On those days when I am distant and far away,
I'm in that place that is healing and peaceful today.

Each of us sees our most private of spaces
As where we can go, our most favorite places.
We never intend to close others out,
We only know what will turn us about.

So remember when you find me so far away,
And want me to come back and play.
What I need is your patience for me
And I promise the same when you also flee

To that most “Special of Places”.

Unique beauty

Don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd...

Priceless

Don't be sad....life's too short

Priceless things

Life holds so many priceless things,
The falling rain, the wind that sings.
Each star on high, a big full moon,
And sunbeams dancing in your room.
The river as it washes on,
A sunset when the day is gone.
No wealth can buy a mountain tall,
Those priceless things belong to all.
An autumn tree lends beauty rare
With leaves piled deep most everywhere
As nature wears a glowing smile
To make each day a day worthwhile
Could anything be quite so dear
As laughing children that we hear?
The gift of friendship that is ours
The miracle of growing flowers
Each magic moment-treasured time
These priceless gifts are yours and mine.

Like the colour of a dove..

We've been exploring a bit recently here in Birmingham, we went to Kings Heath Park, Cannon Hill Park, which I thought was absolutely beautiful, we also went to the Botanical Gardens which was lovely, so the photos I've been posting lately are mainly a combination from these three places.
