Pictures for Pam, Day 182: Lovely Meadow in Evening Light
(+ 2 insets!) (Please view large to get a feeling of being there!)
Steve and I were busy today doing errands and that's kept us out rather late. While we were driving around we talked at one point about how things are changing for us...
You know when you travel for a couple of weeks and you come back and it seems like nothing has changed at your home but you feel like a different person? We are now back after our second trip of four days/three nights away. It doesn’t seem as if that should be enough to make a difference, but it really has. We feel as if our lives are morphing into something new. It is an odd kind of feeling but nice too.
Having an RV is giving us a freedom we have never experienced before. We have gained the ability to go wherever we want--and we get to bring our dog and parrot with us. It's a way to travel in a relaxed manner without a time frame if we decided to just wander. After dreaming for so long and saving our pennies to make it happen, it's such a strange sensation to recognize that we are actually reaping the rewards of our efforts. We are a bit shocked to be honest. At the same time, we are incredibly thankful for our good fortune.
Today's picture was taken on our last evening when Steve and I went on a long hike so I could take pictures along the way. As we were heading back, the light in this meadow was just so incredible that Steve and I just stood there and appreciated the view in front of us. How the leaves glowed, the grass shimmered, and the way the shadows streamed across the scene. Pure magic.
We'd planned on hot-footing it out to the lake to take pictures of the sun setting behind the forest and hills but decided to take the advice that so many have stated: stop hurrying from one thing to the next. Enjoy the moment. So we abandoned our initial plan. Our quick boogie to the lake became a slow stroll back to our camp with lots of pictures as we went. There will be other sunsets but the pretty sights we were seeing now deserved our attention, appreciation and enjoyment. We certainly made the right decision and both of us had a lovely time!
I am also including pictures of some ferns taken with my Sony (taken from the bridge in my last picture!) and a bumble bee resting under a stalk of flowers. (Anyone know what they are called?)
Pam, I totally loved what you said in my last picture's comments, "The marvelous difference it makes to be able to stay and grow into a place. New insights." You are so completely right about that and it's how we feel! There are so many things in this world which must be experienced in order to understand. That understanding takes a bit of time to settle into as well. Ok...we can do that! *BIG HUGS from southern Oregon!

FROM FROM WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN I WILL ADD A LITTLE MORE HOME SPUN PHILOSOPHY.
TAKE A LIFE ROUTE FROM MISS MOLLY. YOU SEE DOGS LIVE IN THE MOMENT. YES THEY DREAM OF A FUTURE OF WALKS AND TREATS.. BUT THEY KNOW THE WISDOM OF HOLDING THE MOMENT TO THEM CLOSELY.
ITS SOMETHING WE SILLY HUMANS LOSE AS WE GROW.WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED THAT
TOMORROWS ADVENTURE IS A SREAM BUT THAT TODAYS EXPERIENCE IS NOW.. AND WE NEED TO LIVE IN THAT MOMENT.
Bon weekend

Two super images in the PiPs: The beautiful green of the ferns are complemented very well by those lovely dappled shadows and you've captured their delicate details perfectly. In the second PiP, the sharpness and detail are spot on and the background is beautiful.
I take your point about not hurrying from one thing to the next. I find that sometimes I get so caught up in taking photos, I don't actually notice or appreciate the beauty that is around me!
RHH is correct with his flower I.D. Funnily enough I took a photo of one of these yesterday - I'll post it up at some stage :-))
erm, elegant evening emotion
;-)))
beautiful picture, like it!
