Silence is the order of the day when fishing. This scene makes me happy in ways that begin and end with gratitude.
weekly photo challenge: weathered
This week’s challenge, to take a photo of something weathered, thrilled me. If nothing else, I love pictures of old things. The uglier and more used up it is, the more I see its beauty in years of use, or possibly, abuse. I love this selection because of the juxtaposition of the once useful cast iron now rusted and the wildflowers growing around it. It looks like a fallen tombstone in an empty field — the name worn off and left as an anonymous reminder of our mortality.
Or maybe it’s just a pretty picture.
3 things to do on a rainy day
- Look out the window longingly. Sometimes I like to embrace the melancholy.
- Snuggle up in a warm blanket and a good book. Nobody’s feelings will get hurt if it’s just a prop for a nap.
- Drink copious amounts of delicious hot tea. And by tea, I mean, whatever you want, even that whisky you reserve for emergencies.
