Tired but Good


Scattered


Character is what emerges from all the little things you were too
busy to do yesterday, but did anyway.
~
Mignon McLaughlin~


I hope that quote is true....
I'm slowing down now, and I think I need a rest day.
I have been going 90 mph it seems, doing various things.
I need to go to bed early, so I'm going to cut this short.

I have been working on some new excursions to share with you,
but I haven't had time to craft the posts.
For now, I'll just share another photo from the Botanical Gardens.

I was so intrigued by the above pattern. I found it in one of the ponds.
It looks even more dramatic now that I have converted it to black and white.
It even fits my current mood, which is a little scattered.
I was channeling my energy, but now I'm all over the place.

You'll soon hear about everything that's been going on,
but for now......ZzzZzzZzz

  1. That is an astonishing shot. I think I see flowers within flowers, or...
    I'm not sure what it was because the black/white tricks my brain, but I really love this a lot!
    Sweet dreams.

  4. Yea I made it here. For the last few days I have locked up every time I tried to view your blog. Get some rest and yes slow down. That is what I am doing and it is doing great things for me.

  6. Wow! That's a pond??? I thought it was a mosaïque made of marshmallows and flowers (for real).

    Get some rest, beautiful ;-)

    the journey
    is the destination.

  12. Love that shot. I look for texture and patterns quite often, too. Sometimes more interesting that a whole scene.
