“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? . . . And as we…
Rain drops…
As I write I can hear rain drops pitter patter-ing on the roof light, it’s a lovely sound at night when you are warm and cozy and do not need to go outside. We did get some really nice weather week before last and made good use of it too! A couple of friends from…

I put this post up on Blog Gems for Jen this week – it’s not a laugh out loud post however if you’ve been looking at hospital walls for weeks on end then it may make you smile 🙂
Made me smile without the context of hospital walls. Your exquisite photography is enhanced by the captions.
Sorry I did not remember you are in Ireland (from my response to your comment at my place). Your online name is familiar in a friendly way. Hope you are able to see more thistle in real life soon.
Made me smile! I had a very rough day and you reminded me about the simple beauty of nature. I need to just chill out and think about the bigger picture rather than being in a funk. Did you take these pictures? They are fantastic!
Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.
Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂
As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
