Afternoons are made for appreciating your surroundings , I live in what was once a village but it's now got bigger. It is very much surburbia on the heels of the countryside it is stunning you just need to open your eyes. You've probably seen similar pictures before but in my mines eye they are different the season, the light the mood everything ! I'm never going to be able to get that particular again in my life. The picture below was taken on my walk home from my school where I work and I love this particular route I take.
Even though it is a little bit wet , well very wet I still see blue , a neighbouring village has flooded the fields and it looks very surreal. We've not been affected like other poor people but still fences are coming down and livestock is moved to higher ground.
Walking back from my school I spot blue again this time it's the barn door.
I feel blue but not in the sense of being down , I feel blue and it reminds me of Spring it's a hope it's a promise on the wind.
Sometimes just taking the time to look around and appreciate simple things can make all the difference. I know what you mean about blue - it reminds me of spring too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a beautiful place. I love views of lots of blue too, the sea, the sky, blue flowers.... Blue definitely doesn't have to mean "blue" = :-( ! love Claire x
ReplyDeleteYour walk home looks really scenic and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I have views near my house I like to look at - they look the same, but also different every day. Strangely I felt a hint of spring in the air today. It must be just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, I never take time to assess my surroundings and see whats really there

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of looking around your locality and really appreciating it. I often get fed up with where I live but when I stop, look and see what it really has to offer I smile warmly to myself. Love the door pic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo's since getting my new camera I have also become more aware of colours and scenery.
