Another shot from many years ago taken with the old 5MP Kodak.

Sunset reflection in a pond/lake found in Chatham County Wetlands Preserve.

This spot was quite tricky because of the large radio/cell tower just to the left of frame (you can make out some of the wires on the left side of the image). The clouds behind the tower were certainly photo worthy, but the tower dominated the scene and made for poor images. This was the best of this shot on that evening.

Well, I hope you like it.

I escape into the great outdoors; where freedom’s soul forever roars.

Green River, Kanasket-Palmer State Park, Washington

I was unable to hike again this weekend but my mind and my soul were in need of some nature so I ventured out to a nearby state park, located on a beautiful stretch of the Green River. And there, as I sat in solitude on a rock, and immersed myself in the sight and sound of the river, I found what I was seeking. The endless flow of the river soothed and softened the sharp edges of the mind and restored the pieces of the soul that the world seems to wear away.

Florida - On the beach; the beginning of a new day...

I’m notorious for my restless brain, always filled with racing thoughts that I find hard to switch off. Little Corgi has a zippy brain too, but he has an oddly calming effect on me. That supremely adorable face and Corgi smile, he’s deffo a precious little soul soother! So we will chill out here at home until we drift to dreamland where he will playfully chase butterflies, and I will watch him while drinking a margarita, and all will feel okay with the world. 💕🐶

Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of splendor in the grass,

of glory in the flower,

We will grieve not, rather find

Strength in what remains behind;

In the primal sympathy

Which having been must ever be;

In the soothing thoughts that spring

Out of human suffering;

In the faith that looks through death,

In years that bring the philosophic mind.

-- William Wordsworth

Comfort isn't always a feeling of relief or consolation...

It can be felt or given in one single touch of kindness.

Explored ....

I know, I do have a corny title, but that's what happens when you can't think about any. So suggestions are welcome. It was by the same lake as the previous picture toward the end of the day... these grass were moving from the gentle breeze and I knew it was time to head back. (I have taken quite a few pics which I suddenly ran into in my storage, so sorry to bore you with same/similar stuff)

"I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles."

Anne Frank

The sound of water dancing over moss covered rocks is beyond soothing. When we visited the Hawaiian Tropical Bioreserve and Gardens on the Big Island of Hawaii I found myself wanting to take a seat and soak up all the peace and quiet.

I'm coming for you

When the sun goes down

I'm coming for you

When there's no one around

I come to your house

Break down the door

Girl, I'm shaking

I need more

There's only one way to soothe my soul

I'm coming for you

I need to feel your skin

I'm coming for you

To stop this crawling

I'm taking my place

By your side

I'm not leaving

Until I'm satisfied

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(There's only one way to soothe my soul)

I'm coming for you

My body's hungry

I'm coming for you

Like a junkie

I can't stop

Desire in me

I'm not waiting

Patiently

There's only one way to soothe my soul

Just wanted to mention one thing about this image. Those streaks you see on the left side of the photograph are early morning sun rays filtering across the front of the waterfall.

When I hear of multiple days of rain in the forecast with the chance of some heavy precipitation, my mind goes to this spot in the city.
