experiencing the magic in the moment…
Who am I?
While that question is probably a little difficult to answer in a paragraph (or even in a lifetime), I can tell you that my name is Meredith, and that I love to ponder life's mystery and beauty and joys and then write about them. This blog is all about my interactions with Nature during my walks in the woods, visits to Botanical Gardens, in my own small, organic kitchen garden -- and anywhere else I happen to be when inspiration strikes.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Nancy Bond´s last blog ..Words That Inspire – Nancy’s Interpretation
Thank you, Nancy.
this has always been one of my favorite quotes. Truly words to live by!
Shelly, it’s definitely a great one. Thoreau was so wise.
Beautiful quote and beautiful flowers. The light filtering through all of those pale pink petals is wonderful.
Sweet Bay´s last blog ..Blooming Friday ~ Spring is Here
I’m glad you liked it, Sweet Bay.
Stunning shot, Meredith, and Thoreau’s words add a even more special touch.
Talon´s last blog ..Reflections (Short Story)
Thanks, Talon. It’s an old one I played around with a bit in the photo editor for a change.
Love Thoreau – Very apt words to think on as an artist- seeing things differently is a must!
Thanks for the pic- I’ve never seen Peach blossoms before! they look so soft-
SnaggleTooth´s last blog ..Creative Minds Guess E
Me, too, Snaggle Tooth. He’s one of my favorite writers. The softness in the photo might be more my doing than the reality — although the reality was already incredibly gorgeous.
Beautiful photo with perfect quote! I just realized that I live so close to Georgia, but have never seen a peach blossom!!
Deborah´s last blog ..Shady Dealings
Thank you, Deborah. You may have seen them and not realized it — so many flowering fruit trees look similar in spring, all competing for the same early pollinators.
Those blooms are so soft and inviting and those words I need reminding of every day!
Heidi´s last blog ..Land of the Flying Dinosaurs
I’m so glad you liked the combination, Heidi.
What a delicious colour!
Deborah at Kilbourne Grove´s last blog ..Garden Visits: Sissinghurst
It is lovely; isn’t it?
So true……and a beautiful photo too ~
Serena´s last blog ..Earth Hour
Thanks, Serena. Thoreau knew what he was talking about, it seems from consensus.
What a lovely quote to go along with those gorgeous blossoms. As MObugs said, words to live by.
Lynn´s last blog ..Over the rooftops, tea party and another world
Lynn, glad you like it. I enjoyed mixing words and images a different way this time around.
This is a great image – I finally got round to posting some spring images but they certainly don’t compare to yours.
David Macaulay´s last blog ..Spring
You’re very kind, David. I thought your images — and text! — were lovely.
I love this verse and it is so true. Depending on one’s outlook, they can see something so different from the person standing right next to them. Your photo is just beautiful!
Noelle/azplantlady´s last blog ..Like a Kid in a Candy Store…
Thank you, Noelle. The quote is one of my favorites!
Your photo is gorgeous! It captures the delicate blossoms so well. Great quote, very true
I’m glad you liked it, Helen.
Beautiful!
I thought so, too, Mama Zen.
Beautiful photograph…for me I see the epitome of spring.
Curbstone Valley Farm´s last blog ..Our New Chicks
You have clear vision, CV.
I had you on my blog roll then lost you because I failed to realize that you changed to a new blog. I’m so glad to have found you again. Superior photo, this!
Christine´s last blog ..March in the Garden – Moss on Redwood Stump
Christine, I’m sorry you lost me — but I’m honored to be included in your blog roll. Thank you for the compliment!
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I want to pair that quote with a photo some day. So fitting.
elizabeth´s last blog ..through the haze of memory
Thank you, Elizabeth. Thoreau had a way with words.
Hi Meredith
Those blooms look so inviting – and the colour is so subtle. Once I started doing photography I saw the world in a different way.
Me, too, Rosie! Photographing the world does give one a different angle on things, for sure.
Thanks, I needed that!
That makes me happy to hear, Holly.
