Sometimes I get so busy that I stop paying attention to what is around me and I miss so much. I have to remind myself to look and enjoy what is beyond my tunnel vision. One of the ways I do this is by taking photos of beautiful things I see when I go on my walks.
This week, let's sit back and enjoy the free gift of nature.
Sunset
These photos were taken just as the sun was about to set in Gulf Breeze, Florida at Shoreline Park. I am drawn to shadow and light and I love the way the clouds, sun, and sky intermingle.
Rocky Waves
These photographs were also taken at Shoreline Park to the left of the Pavilion closer to where the boats launch. The pier jets out far into the water making it possible for people to enjoy fishing or a nice stroll.
The Sunset pictures were taken on the same day and time as these. It's amazing to me how a person can be in the same place, at the same time, change vantage points and the view is
so different.
Reflection
Gulf Breeze Recreation Park offers many activities, including Disc Golf. A couple of golf baskets are located in this wooded area.
The way the trees reflect off the water really caught my eye. And I love how the blue sky peeks through the trees. The lighting is magnificent. A fluffy white cloud with a touch of grey and the sun lighting it all up; captivating.
Nature
Flowers, plants, trees, SQUIRRELS! I love nature and I love animals. Any time I can catch a squirrel being still enough for me to snap a photo, I take it. To me, they are adorable.
Pink
This week I encourage you to slow down and look around you. If the sun is starting to set, stop and watch it for a few minutes. If it's already gone down, look at the stars. If you're near water, see what reflections dance on the surface. If the flowers are starting to bloom, appreciate their beauty. We live in an extremely busy world and we miss a lot. Sometimes it's good for the soul to slow down and literally smell the roses.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
