Roses in the garden--- "far from the madding crowd".


"It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, nor whistles blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs sound,
And I'd have stillness all around.
----
----
Sometimes it seems to me I must
Just quit the city's din and dust,
And get out where the sky is blue,
And say, now, how does it seem to you?"
Far From The Madding Crowd - by Nixon Waterman
(Full poem at  https://www.scrapbook.com/poems/doc/1587/115.html)
And that about says it all ! But I think I would just like to see the blue sky and stop to smell the roses -- city or not -- its more about a state of mind -- don't you think ?

A Happy Surprise!

Once in a while, I surprise myself. We all do, and if it is a real surprise, it brings a happy high !
Such as --- when you finish a project before the deadline,
or the chicken curry that you made tastes especially good,
or you thought you were late for a meeting, but actually made it on time
or your article really sounds good ---
and so on.
Today, I am left with a painting that is better than expected :)
And --- I am not sure how that happened, really !

Deep thoughts by the ocean !

A lovely day for a beach trip. After a very long time.
Lovely colours.
A relaxed time.
Sometimes the sight and sound just makes you stop to think. And dream. And make decisions, perhaps.
A quiet time for introspection. Away from the buzz of every day life.

Orange sunrise

Sunrises come in infinite shades. This is one of them -- in orange. Another gift from a train journey.


An orange sunrise. Acrylic on paper. 11.5 x 8 inches.

If I could, I would take my eyes of my watch -- and watch with my eyes.
