Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass
on a summer day listening to the murmur of water,
or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is hardly a waste of time.

Happy summer, dear bloggers!

so beautiful and serene... blessings. Dixie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Is that early in the morning?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture. Makes me want to paint. I live near a privately owned forest and I can see the tops of the trees from my backyard. It is open to the public and so neat and clean. I plan a post on it as soon as the rain stops so I can have some sun for pictures. Blessings

You must live in the most beautiful place! Or is it just the magical thing you do with your camera?

Oh - thank you, Mary...thank you for this sweet and wonderful reminder with the view to rest in it :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh, sweet summer! If we don't slow down and take in the warm breezes, the smell of freshly mowed grass and the sounds of crickets we are missing out. This is my favorite time of the year!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful photo. I wish I were there, in that field, walking and dreaming.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me....really good!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I hope that we all find lots of such moments over the next few months.
ReplyDeletep e r f e c t!
ReplyDeleteAh what a nice idea. Wish our weather was cooperating more. It's been a week since we've seen any substantial glimpse of the sun.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary... Thanks for posting such a peaceful photo to relax my eyes... its so hot and harsh here in Arizona right now... Not that i'm complaining, I love Arizona! We spend most day's and nights in the pool... I Hope your week is going well...

Don't know who John Lubbock is, but love his quote. It's perfect for that photo!
ReplyDeleteThat is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteWhat I see when I look at this wonderful photo is a perfect huge pasture for my horses. Someday maybe. It's never too late.
