weekend contrasts, and how i'm going to take a deep breath now and throughout the day

12.09.2011












lots to do today, and i'm almost resolved to step away from the computer and face it.
it's not a terrible day really. just  a day i wouldn't normally choose for myself...
but  i still chose it. so here i go. the good news is is that days do not repeat themselves.

i'm sure i'll find many good things along my way today mixed in with all the dread,
and tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next will be back to normal,
back to my preferred slow pace. i'm good at slow. i love slow. 

on another note, i am quite enamored with the pretty berries that blossom this time of year.
they're sort of all over my house right now. i really can't resist.

have a lovely relaxed weekend, dear readers.

I feel like you - I really prefer slow most days but when this busy day is over the slow pace of the following day will be that much sweeter.

Those berries are wonderful!

What are these berries? they are sooo beautiful! i've been searching for them, but yet no luck finding them in the nature. i guess they don't grow here where i live.

They're holly berries. I LOVE them. I got them at my local garden shop, but I think they were shipped from Oregon.

Love the feel of the photos. That first quote reached off the screen and slapped me! Guess I needed it.
Good luck in your day.

Wow, the third one down kind of glows, even though the light is darker... Amazing photos! What do you shoot with?
Best,
Char

Thanks, Char!
I use a Nikon D90 and usually use a 35mm lens.

those quotes are like red berries,
bright pops of aliveness,
my eyes taking them in hungrily,
grateful for the clever ways even a stark
season finds
to express itself beautiful!
Thanks for this delicious share,
Jen
