An Enchanted Place
discover a magical world
Swan
Posted on 16/07/2017 by Louise Bunting
aglow
with simple elegance
she glides serenely
onwards
*
untouched
by worldly concerns
*
divorced from fear
and anger
*
enriched by
nature’s beneficence she
scatters diamonds of purest
sunlight in her wake

Snowdrops and Winter Aconites, needle felted and embroidered.

This is my third completed picture. Yay! I thought I'd be a little more seasonal for this one. My plan is to complete a few more before I mount / frame them (however I end up doing that!) and then I can finally get an Etsy site up and running...

Daffodils in the meadow.
.
Despite being ridiculously windy elsewhere in the village this afternoon, the far end of the meadow was beautifully sheltered - which was perfect for photographing the daffodils blooming in the corner. They barely swayed as I snapped my pics.

Late afternoon out, walking the hedgerow, enjoying the February sun.

Morning light on the lane.
.
I couldn't resist pulling my car over to snap a picture of the morning light through the trees as I drove to work this morning. Such an uplifting sight after all of the cloudy and rainy days we've been having lately.

Raindrops on the remnants of last year's rosehips that linger still in the hedgerows.

I couldn't resist the opportunity for a walk around the village lanes in between the rain showers.
