'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,

To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed,

To turn, turn will be our delight,

Till by turning, turning we come 'round right

I’ve taken many pictures of this fresh water post, in Swanage bay, but I thought I’d try something a little different this time. I’ve seen many great minimalist images, usually taking advantage of snow or fog to create scenes that have cut out all the details, leaving the scene with just the basics, which are very effective. Without the aid of these conditions I’ve used a long exposure to smooth the water and sky, and darkened the sand in photoshop/silver efex. I’m not sure if I’ve achieved the simplicity I had in mind but it’s something I haven’t tried before-so I’m counting it as a win!

...this year we are keeping it simple around here for Christmas....

On Monday I brought the box (with boxes) of Christmas decorations up from the cellar and I have slowly begun to decorate...I only put 5 pieces so far:

~ the 3 dimensional plywood tree/ candle holder (from Habitat)

~ the handmade reindeer from salted dough (decorated with little details made with golden ink) I made last year during one of my Art&Crafts in English sessions with mighty, little students

~ two ...gigantic woolen socks, tied to the stairs up (not seen here - picture to come)

~ the pair of wooden ice skates which is hanging on one of the window handles seen here

~ and the two handmade angels from Munieca, purchased last year via Etsy (seen in comments)

 

This year I've decided to be decorating little by little, adding something every now and then until I feel that the outcome is ready. And while last year I created a winter Wonderland as among a few lovely others, wonderful Kirsten from Simply Grove had blogged about it , this year I have a need ofr basics, keeping it simple and an attitude for less is more.

Back before our nation was involved in the COVID-19 outbreak, I was enjoying a sunrise in the Hackensack Meadowlands at Richard DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst. A metal outline depicting a pre September 11th NYC skyline serves as a reminder of the past.

Simple Sky - i like the tranquil beauty at work here

Quiero apreciarte un momento mas sentir tus ojos viendome como ayer

quiero respirarte un momento mas sentir tus brazos cerca de mi otra vez.

 

This English country house was built by the honorable Mary Isabel Portman from London in 1913, who was an independent 36 year old lady with a big fondness for classical music. She herself was a passionate violin player.

 

The house was built based on the plans of Detmar Blow and Ferdinand Billerey, two English architects who were inspired by the Arts & Crafts Movement of the era.

 

Unfortunately Mary Portman have never been able to enjoy staying at this house, due to the outbreak of the 1st World War.

 

In 2007 the house was carefully renovated and turned into a luxury hotel. There is an attached flat wooden building with a spa and wellness area.

It is recommended that guests do not bring children.

 

The house is located not far from Mittenwald in a valley. The backdrop is the massive Wetterstein Range that is not visible on my photos due to the gloomy weather.

 

I understand that people come here to have peace and quiet, and it is also a very lucrative business for the hotel owners.

 

I myself, however, prefer to go to such places on my feet, take my kid with me, and sleep in a simple wooden hut with simple meals. I think it makes you respect and appreciate the beauty of the place more if you walk there, instead of driving there. It is more natural, if you respect the way of life people have in the area and adjust to them.

“I would rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world.” - George Washington

Simple and sexy like Jojo lol. I don't like getting dressed up so I rarely wear stocking or tights or even make-up. Instead I rely on my femininity to charm the folks and the best way to win them over is with a simple but striking little-black-dress like this. It's a bit cheeky for daytime wear but nobody says anything bad as it nurtures respect. I find being positive is the best means of defence as the people who try to belittle us are bullies and bullies are usually just little people with not much bottle. I think the secret to why I have such an easy ride in life is I am just me and the feminity I surround myself with feels and seems right. I'm a very happy go lucky happy sort of person with no attitude as I'm not trying to prove a point either and people like that.

Oh my friends, this Shelter in Place is getting old. I'm ready for the 3 week PJ party to end. It is harder to find simple joys this week and I'm feeling a little down. I'm totally unmotivated to do anything but sit and read a book, do puzzles or watch TV. My family has felt the same way.

 

One day my husband decided we should all go for a walk. Something we haven't done as a family for a long time. I grabbed my camera and headed out the door trailing behind the family as I took a few pictures.

 

I'm thankful for this time of shelter together so we can continue to spend time together. I am also thankful that the weather has turned sunny and nice so we can get outside and into the fresh air.

I just had time to snap this before I left my parents home yesterday. Dark cloth in the background and a window with nice soft light on the left, facing the daisy.
