"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

sundays camping came to an end~

i wonder what sunday will bring


i woke up early
and thought i would leave a message for my family
a new way to greet them


made my coffee and sat back down
to savor the morning show


i've learned to be still


to clear my mind


to simply be


and take in the moment


all in a blink
mr. sun is shining bright
greeting each who slowly rises


my journal is always with me


for those minutes i have


when no one else is around


this little one
must have dreamed of fish


for no sooner did one come out from the tent
he went straight to the water


pleased with yesterdays catch
one wee littlest
decided to have a rest


now how could this one resist
spending time


bonding in such a special way


as the minutes passed
the heat was radiating warmth upon us
hours of being in the sun
tuckered out is one


well maybe not just one
this old hat hid under the trees
only for a few minutes please


one last ride
please oh please


with luna out
we know our time has come to an end


all packed up
over the bridge
one last glance
at the space we love


now see here
a lesson was learned


in our thoughts
we were not alone


there were so many more
then we thought possible


waiting for the heat to fall


for mr. sun sun to sink below


leaving us all


with beautiful memories to last


{what is usually about a 1 1/2-2 hour drive took us over 4 hours to get home}

Nothing like gridlock to make you realize that you're back in "civilisation!"

Your photo story is stunning as always. I was just saying to Breen yesterday that I am sad we did not find time to camp this summer. We may try for a weekend in the fall. Camping soothes my soul. Just being in nature taking in all the sounds and sights makes me feel so very peaceful.
