I became inspired by the pomegranates and figs bought at the market and a couple of old Art books bought at the Bookfest.

Dedicated to my Dad who passed last summer. I miss him everyday, but an image like this brings back a lifetime of memories that I hold close to my heart.

One of several (others to come later) for Kim Klaussen's bestill52 week 7 of 52.

The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realize the self.

All that is required is to be still; there is nothing else to do.

Arunachala Hill, located in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, is a massive geological formation estimated to be between 2.6 billion and 3.8 billion years old. As part of the Eastern Ghats, it is considered one of the oldest rock formations on earth and a sacred, ancient shrine.

BeStill 52, week 6, with kk_darkmood preset

Bestill 52, week42 The prompt was to put something on or in a crate but a basket had to do!

Week 3/52. Title: Every Little Breath

Still experimenting with this week's Bestill52 backlighting challenge.

This is one of my favorite verses in the bible. It says, "Be still, and know that I am God." When you study the original intent of the psalmist, King David, the command to 'Be still' actually means, take a vacation. It entails r&r, rest and relaxation. When we are going through difficult times, the tendency is to try to solve our problems with our own wisdom and limited knowledge. But the best thing we can do is relax! Put our hope and trust in God. He knows what He's doing. Sometimes you just gotta teak a break, take a vacation and let God be God. People often take their work with them when they go on vacation. Not me. This trip, I'm not going to worry, I'm going to enjoy my time visiting my homeland and my family. I can't wait!

Bestill 52. A challenge using four items

They bloom in all the places , under all conditions, they are beautiful and magical...

This is the time of year that all I hear around me is complaints about the cold weather. I happen to have no complaints! I LOVE this time of year. I love that the seasons change, and I love getting out to see the changes.

Hope you are all doing well. Thanks for your continued support and visits. We are listing my mom's home for sale tomorrow. She lived to be 88 years old and was one who didn't look forward to spending another cold winter in Idaho. I took this picture right after taking images of her home. It's a great fixer upper if anyone is interested in coming to Idaho!

On a serious note, mom's no longer cold, she's at peace, and I find comfort in that, and in knowing she can now be near me and won't feel the cold. She'll just enjoy the beauty all around us. Be Still.......she's there.

Thank you very much for your kind words and comments, much appreciated!

Confession- I used one ordinary teabag to colour the hot water because I prefer milk in my tea :-)
