Loving the day

November 19, 2008 in Everyday Life | Tags: home, photos, urban nature

Some days I wake up and just feel so happy to live where I do:

Outside my front door the early morning mist is clearing.

The carpet beneath my feet out back.

A couple of overnight visitors have been busy.

Glorious sunset.

Days like that are great…finding a way to express that?
Priceless.

Hi Jill,
We have such similar sensibilities and see our world every day with joy in the light and textures. It is wonderful to see your pictures and place where you find inspiration.
I also have a Blog called:
http://homeinspirations.blogspot.com/index.html

It is dedicated to photos taken around my yard and area.
It is so wonderful to just be able to appreciate what we see daily.

Starting the day and loving where you are…now that is something special. Love the pictures, especially the spider art.

Yes! The spider web photos are very interesting. Especially the first one. I’ve noticed a few around my house but didn’t think they’d photograph well. I should change my mind about that!
I love seeing photographs from other soufood members about what they are doing, where they live, etc. Words are nice, but sometimes images are better.
Thanks for sharing.

This is indeed lovely, Jill. It’s wonderful that you feel that way and shared these images with us so that we could enjoy it, too.

These are fabulous photographs, Jill. You are indeed very lucky. Those feeling it in every part of oneself got-what-want moments are gold, baby, just gold. I’ve had them, and I look forward to someday again waking up being grateful to be where I am. The crackheads and prostitutes in the alley I see out my back window and the dumpster and garbage bins on the front lawns across the street I see out my front window are the realities today that are setting the scene for my future golden glad-to-be-where-I-am moments. And I’ll probably be thinking of you. *smile* Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for showing us the beauty, the grace, of nature.

What amazing cobwebs! I am here briefly to say thank you for your comment on my blog, which really struck a chord with me. I must find out more about soul food cafe. I have my Dad here atm so can’t stay online too long, but I’ll be back to have a longer look at what you’ve been up to recently.

Mmm, I’m quite jealous of that lovely tree and outlook!!! Wonderful photos, you’ve really captured the spirit of that morning. And yes, it’s those little things in life that can bring such pleasure – my philosophy too
