blossoms between the pages

Thank you to all the well-wishes that were sent regarding my homesickness.  I am feeling much better now after a lovely weekend spent cooking delicious food, taking photographs and even doing a little bit of painting.  I took these photos on Friday night and wasn't really sure about them initially.  I ended up processing them to give them a retro feel and quite like how they turned out.  A bit of a dreamy start to the week.

Happy Monday!

I love the retro feel, I need to get better at processing my photos, I usually just leave them as is. My favourite is the first one.
And I'm glad you're feeling better, I hope it wasn't my blog that initiated the homesickness!

Memories...pressed between the pages of my mind... sweetened through the ages just like wine... precious memories...all I have now are memories...
" Memories.... of holding hands and red bouquets and twilight trimmed in purple haze...and laughing eyes and simple ways...and quiet nights and gentle days... memories...all those precious memories...
Quiet thought come floating down and settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories...sweet memories...
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories...."
I found this by googling - a lovely tribute by a man for his wife - accompanied by a beautiful photo of her. Worth a look - it speaks volumes.
Love your photos. SB

Gorgeous photos. They make me wish I could stretch out on a lounge on the lawn of some grand old estate while surrounding by gardens and of course, read. (2nd is my favorite!)
