Yesterday afternoon I was en route between two destinations, and the sun was shining through the car windows. I had 20 minutes to spare, so I took a detour along a tiny country road and stepped into the woods. I often go to these woods, but for some reason, I've never noticed this particular footpath, running through some silver birch trees. It was late afternoon, about 3.30, and the light was incredible. There was no wind, either, it was pretty magical.
I did not have my big camera with me, so phone had to do.
I recently spent time with a friend who is very poorly. It sounds like a cliche, but it does make you think, and appreciate.
So that is why I turned off the main road and took 20 minutes out to watch the sun go down.
Beautiful, hearing other peoples problems puts your own into perspective. Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Happy Halloween to you too and have a lovely weekend.
DeleteAfter hearing the news this year that I had cancer, it makes me appreciate every thing so much more, I am happy just to breath the fresh air, I love walking and love nature, just love life .
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about woods they seem to have an aura about them.
Yes, that's absolutely spot on, that an experience with illness does make you re-focus everything else in your life. I wish you well xx
DeleteBreathtaking. I have always loved birch trees.

DeleteBeautiful pictures - we have silver birch in the woodsThe light this week has been amazing and unusual for this time of year. The wood is always the best place to gather thoughts I think.
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, I think walking is a great time to focus thoughts. I often get my best ideas when I'm out walking rather than hunched over a desk x
DeleteBeautiful photos :) Often it is the simple things that give the most pleasure.
