CALM... What a perfect theme for this week! If you read my Skywatch Friday post you will understand why. Even during the storms of life, we need to look for peace & rest. I find that when I am stressed, soaking in the beauty of nature has a very calming affect. Here are some of my favourite things...
Beautiful sunsets.
Raindrops on roses.
Butterflies
Country scenes.
The beach.
A "bowl" of hot chai tea with honey... and a delicious slice.
One of my all time favourite treats - Turkish delight!!
Candles, especially scented ones. I find candles extremely calming & could watch them for hours.
What gives you a sense of calm?

Wow! Your photos are captivating. And certainly calming. And I couldn't agree more about the power of nature to soothe the soul. Thanks so much for participating in the Poetic Winter Challenge!
a fabulous selection of calming images from you Liz. I especially love your set of four sky photographs. Calm surrounds you in so many ways, I find it hard to narrow down. Each of your photos is certainly calming.

Hi Liz,
Just entered into your blog--wonderful work!!!
So sorry about your health. As a Chiropractor I feel for you. You have some daunting challenges and it looks like you counter them with deep faith and magical artistry. Blessings, Sue.
I love your sunsets and candle shots...a wonderful collection.
So beautiful. Liz, I think you have outdone yourself. I even found it calming to look at on the bus home:)
Beautiful!

Wow! One beautiful photo after another! I was trying to pick a favorite, but couldn't!
Beautiful! I don't even know which one I like best.... well... maybe the butterfly ;)
These photos in turn have made me feel calm - there's so many to comment on, the composition of the pink roses with the water drops, all your country scenes, in particular your last one with that light coming through on the left, Turkish delight? Yum. And that superb candle flame shot- it's calm but also strong.
