dreamy days


a little while back i went to the beach with D while the kids spent the afternoon with their cousins at safta's place. i brought a book, some crochet work, sketch book and pencils. and didn't touch any of it. only the camera came out of the bag to capture some beautiful seaguls.

it happens a lot, when i go to the beach (sans children), that i bring tons of stuff and then just end up starring at the sea or walking, collecting shells and other bits of pretty.

then i unpacked my bag the day after and wanted to read for a moment. only to get occupied by the beautiful light on the table. sometimes i have days of being in this dreamy mood. at least as long as the kids are in kindergarten: the moment i get them home i have my feet pretty firmly planted in here and now activities.




have a dreamy day, my friends

  2. Have a very dreamy day my friend!

    I do the same thing, I'll bring my camera, little travel watercolor and sketch book, and the camera is the first I reach for. xo

  3. Thank you , thank you, thank you for the pics of the water. I miss the shore and it will be years before I get back down there to live!

    Winter is horrible, can't drive down every day just to go to the beach!!!

  4. It's a nice and special sensation not to feel compelled to do or make something, but just enjoy what's around and what is there to be seen. The camera, quite often, is how we capture those precious moments.

  5. Lovely pictures, so calm and peaceful. And I agree: it's wonderful to see pictures of a country where it's not snowing!

  6. Dreaming is very productive. Beautiful photos. I can almost hear the waves and the gulls. Thanks for the dreamy beach moment.

  9. The shadows on the table would put me in dreamy land too... I would like to take up residence at that table where the light comes through the window and casts such an exquisite shadow.
