Rest a while and soak in the beauty of Creation

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ~ J. Lubbock

Michael & I went out west on his day off this week to Lake Wivenhoe. It was such a beautiful day and worth the drive - relaxing on the grass, soaking in and capturing the beauty surrounding us. It was peaceful, therapeutic, perfect...










"When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator." ~ Mahatma Ghandi

    Each of your photos is a beautiful capture! I think my favorite is the last one, but it's hard to choose only one favorite!

    What beautiful landscape and skies! I have to say, some of your shots look like the scenery here in northern California! Greetings from the SF Bay Area!
