Living your learning
Nothing much has been happening,
But as I look back at some summer memories
I realize that moments when we have taken the time to pause,
To enjoy, to reflect and to learn –
These are the moments that make up our lives.
Life is for learning – but one’s learning must then be lived. Yusuf/Cat Stevens

Beautiful shots. I love the one of your children watching the sailboats. What an ominous sky looming overhead!

Life sure is about learning from lovely pictures you post:)

Beautiful, I love all the sailboats especially.
September 13, 2012 at 13:48
I just love the way you always depict the sky. There’s something so beautiful about the children looking out towards the sailing boats, and that last sentence by Yusuf – that’s indeed what life is all about.
September 13, 2012 at 13:49
oh wow love that last one…the boats, the kids…great pic….and i love that life is made of those moments…the ones we capture…

Skimming the skies … Just beautiful Fi and what a lovely natural capture of the children watching those big white sails sashaying across the bay.

The images speak for the words and the words pause to understand and absorb the images. Powerful and moving images, but then again you already know that. Nostalgia is a hard emotion to capture, you did so with these images I do believe.
Doing just what the images suggest for the last couple days myself.
September 13, 2012 at 14:44
Thanks so much. Nostalgia is the word that comes into my mind too.
