how could i not smile? lovely photos ladies.

sweet dreams............

wonderful!

What a great blog! I love your photos :)

magic.

oh! abigail's necklace! :::adore:::

you know, there has been speculation in the past that these really aren't 'randomly' posted - but after seing many mornings, and now evenings, i have come to realize that it makes so much sense that the photos often closely resemble eachother...i think if we all took a photo every evening we would see how much our lives have in common, that we often share similar thoughts and feelings, and have the same routines. thanks for the inspiring thoughts once again ladies!

You know this makes me smile...
xo for the weekend you two.

As an avid English viewer of your beautiful blog, living near the Norfolk Broads, I was amused to see that Swallows and Amazons is read in Oregon. Beautiful as usual!

congrats on making it to the "website of the week" of technow. what a wonderful idea, i love the pictures. keep it up guys.

chris,

my children and i have been reading "swallows and amazons" together every evening. we've really enjoyed it and can only imagine how beautiful the actual setting must be...

little bits of glitter. happy leap day!

Nice. Happy Leap Day!

lovely blues, oh so lovely

lovely days

Steph, I am so thrilled to have had a reply. Yes, you would take wonderful photos in Norfolk - the skies are probably the best bit. It's not as unspoiled as it was in Arthur Ransome's day but it can be still be peaceful. I will try and see it through your eyes tomorrow as we travel through Broadland. Thank you so much both of you for sharing your lovely photos.

The perfect little set for LEAP YEAR!I like the contrast of the clean white with the vibrant blues and orange. Daylight savings is coming, your evenings shall be brighter!!!

I read about a hundred blogs. Always look forward to checking yours. - Lisa

Arthur Ransome is a favorite of this storyteller. Neat to see this old book in current use.

Swallows and Amazons was my f a v o r i t e! And this is one of my favorite parings of the year.

precious things...
All shinning things are not gold things, do you know this sentence? I don't know exactly how to translate : "tout ce qui brille n'est pas or!!"

Swallows & Amazons! I love those books.

They re great...

beautiful photos. I wish I had that necklace by Abigail

Good girls, you should always take your jewellery of before going to bed : )

Chain linked ~

Beautiful photos! You know, if I leave my jewelry out on the counter it becomes a cat toy...

so pretty to see the necklace on this surface.

I love coming here. A year of evenings is as beautiful as A year of mornings. Thank you

The golden flower, "Swallows and amazons"...

You did it again! :D
