the sea was calling, singing its soothing song
we picked up our feet & made for the shore
an early morning walk in a puff of cool air
we spied the promise of autumn blackberries 
tiny faerie petals nodding in the breeze
delicate wild roses sweet scented
returning home with calmness restored
inspired by nature to do more designs
Hello Ruthie
ReplyDeleteI have reached you via Alaine and find your corner of the world to be so charming. I have gone back a little ways through your posts but will return and spend more time savouring the scenes and your lovely images.
Happy Days
There is nothing more refreshing than the Scottish shore! Lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful sights we see on our walks and a clever sketch Ruthie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteI love your sketch. It makes me think that I would love to have a gate to my garden with a tree in its design. Lovely. :)
It's hard to stay away from the sea for long... And you've noticed the black berry flowers too! There seem to be loads this year.. Every time we go out we note where the blackberry bushes are, to plan our picking campaigns - I think there's going to be a glut of berries if the weather stays this good :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Ruthie. You seem to live in a very beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing of the Tree of Life. Great detail.:)
