i used to take time to take pictures. stopping roadside, sun slipping up over the horizon, i would clamour out into a dew-laden field, wet to my belly from crawling in grass. there’s a peacefulness there, down in the earth, water and dirt and sun rising up. noises and stresses and life disappear, clearing my eyes to...
these are breathtaking! i especially love the third photo.
Pretty flowers, and love the dew!
you got the “close-up thing” rockin’. beautiful!!!!
stunning photography, patty. really breathtaking. xoxo
Perfectness! I love it!
I love your blog a lot! I browsed on it and looove all the pictures you took, so lively and tells a lot of stories to it! I also like that you only have pictures infront and nothing in the sidebard, i think I would prefer it that way too!
Beautiful images! I love the low angle of the first shot.
It is amazing what you find when you look down. 
Lovely photos — Thank you for sharing at Rural Thursday this week. xoxo
wow, wow, wow!!
These are just breathtaking. I need to take more time out for my picture taking.
I spent the weekend inside a windeowless dance theater at my daughter’s dance competition. And they forbade us from taking photos, which is what usually saves me during these long weekends. By Sunday afternoon, I was about ready to jump out of my skin. So during a particularly long break, I took walk in downtown Knoxville. I...

Knoxville is such a great city… love all these photos. Used to go once a year for work. Great to see again.
Fun! I especially love the girl and her apron.
Love your street photos! Fun, city pix are some of my favorites!
These are great shots! Love the chalk art.

Since I started using a smart phone in December, I find that I reach for it as a camera more than I do my DSLR. It’s just so much easier and more convenient. As a result, I’ve been documenting the simpler moments in life. And then when I found instagram, woo! Even my blog is...

Uh I love your pics! Always have…something about the convenience of that little phone that has 100% won me over. It’s just wonderful. Anyway truly enjoy following you around…Funny I’ve seen everyone of these. That plate with the avocado was gorg…and the pic with your legs…awesome. Makes me want to do paleo. Which I should seriously look into. My chub is getting outta hand.
Great captures. I don’t even own a smart phone though I’ve been admiring instagram photos for ages.
your pictures are fabulous!! I got very good at having a stash of food for the 15 teens in the yard who thought they were staying for dinner….

I absolutely love all your photos! The sun in several of them is just amazing. Looks like you had a pretty great week last week. Thanks so much for linking up!
I love your week in pics. Such a fun time of life for y’all. Enjoy it. Before I know it, my kids will be doing the same things and I’ll be wondering how time went so fast. Great pics.
Speaking of paleo, I’ve been experimenting with Eat Fat, Get Fit….you have to try buttered coffee! Uses unsalted butter blended in a hot cup of coffee in the magic bullet blender, or immersion blender. Yum! Love those sihoes!
On the corner of a dusty old country road, lies a small abandoned farm field, surrounded by forest trees that are my home. Each and every time that I leave my house, I look out across this field through a break in the sweet, honeysuckle hedge that now grows wild in front of it. When...

The sun flare is gorgeous in that field of daisies. There’s a field of sunflowers around here somewhere. I saw them once while driving in the country. I’m determined to find them again this year!
I think I missed the 1440 post.
Beautiful!
Gorgeous photos. Perfect for Sweet Shot Tuesday. Thanks for a lovely visit.
How I adore these photographs. They have catapulted me joyfully to that field in my mind, and given me some time to breathe. Thank you. The picture with the ladybird is really special.
Your post has brought balm and calm to my soul. Thank you
Beautiful! Love the sentiments and the ladybug! (So glad to hear that your boys picked flowers for you too!)
Loved the ladybug one,too! Wish I had your eyes…you are so blessed to always be surrounded by such beauty. I appreciate your sharing your gifts.
How beautiful… we are surrounded by rain and wind at the moment. The tulips are broken and everything looks a bit bleak… this picture makes me long from some proper summer months

It’s a fact: I have a black thumb. Everything I try to grow, dies, and everything I try to ‘exterminate’, thrives. It makes something like this, this wild iris growing along a random, winding country road, unaided by human hand, all the more beautiful…And wondrous… And mysterious. It’s a reminder to me that real beauty...

beautiful photos!
Wonderful macrophoto. Looks very pretty
absolutely gorgeous!! I LOVE that first photo!! great shot!!
So profound!
Stunning! Love it!
The light coming through the iris’ is beautiful! I’m looking forward to iris blooming here. Have a great week.
I love the first image the most- it has beautiful light and very moody feeling to it. I think you could try cropping it tighter, maybe square, without loosing the feel of the photograph.
Very pretty post!
This was the MOST refreshing blog post I’ve seen in a long time! Simple. Elegant. Poetic. And BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you for this!
Happy Monday, love.
xoxo
I have a black thumb too, fortunately my husband has a green thumb. Your photography is very inspiring!!
Exquisite light and color! Thank you for sharing!
oh my gosh! I have the EXACT SAME BLACK THUMB! ; ) lovely shots though.
