I come here for relaxation
The perfect place for me to rest
I am in tune with Mother Nature
As I search from east to west

The shadows are growing longer
And with nature I'm at one
I sit gazing over the mountains
As I watch the setting sun

The tall pines cast a silhouette
Against a stunning amber sky
As I absorb the peace and quiet
I feel my spirit start to rise

A bird calls from the wilderness
As the moon comes into view
Here I sit peacefully in my solitude
As the stars come shining through

* * *

I actually wrote this poem after
I saw this picture.Unfortunately,
I have never been to this place so
I merely imagined what it must be like.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Mmmmm, I am surrounded with places such as that.  I lived once in such a paradise.  What sweet sensations of memory this calls up for me.  Thanks Sue.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Sue

Talent is talent.

I often wish I hadn't stopped taking photographs as you describe words.

No I didn't take this, but you make me want to get my camera out.

words and photos merge into a brilliance which clarifies the all of things
which you do so well...

I have been thinking of heading up to Northern Alabama or Georgia to the mountains and waterfalls...I just may do that this week

Thank you all for your wonderful comments.  
Photography is another of my passions that I haven't had the time for lately but now that Spring has come here in Australia I think that is a good enough excuse to get my camera out.

Take care........Sue
