I am in need of a little green!
It seems that my life is a constant whirlwind, professionally, emotionally and physically. It has been more than a month since my last post! Exhausted and stressed, I took refuge to our beloved family island in Maine. Drove 9 hours each way, wind blowing with the top down, to meet my family and friends. Three blissful days, immersed in green is all it took to soothe my nerves, brings back peace and calm and re-envigorated me for my creative quest.

Francine, sometimes it is just getting outside in the fresh air, the sunshine, the moonlight, along with the verdant green. I love your photos, the green looks like moss growing as a carpet. So happy you went to Maine, the weather is so much cooler, the greens greener, like emeralds, and to be with friends and family. The work will wait just a bit. xx's
ReplyDeleteFrancine, there is a Japanese practice called "Forest Bathing". This is exactly what you did. http://www.hphpcentral.com/article/forest-bathing - I don't know if the link will show up but google it. I envy your 3 days, as there is very little green here in Phoenix this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThese images are so calming and fresh. I hope they refreshed you as much as they did me.
ReplyDeleteJust so beautiful. Thank you.
