Bee in a Cosmos Moment

A Bee in a Cosmos Moment

This bee nestled in the center of a Cosmos blossom reminds me on this #WordlessWednesday that some #InTheMoment images aren't meant to be captured but a 'take it all in, enjoy; just be' moments instead. This insect hanging out in the flowering Cosmos wanted to bee the one caught on camera this AM. But here's the bee sting of the story. Camera-less on this morning's cycle, a spectacular rainbow came out of nowhere. What a pleasant and #InTheMoment surprise until I realized I could only watch as the rainbow stretched its 'larger than life' colorful indentation against the still stormy but sunlit sky. Meshed with fall's foliage and a canvas backdrop of mountain and lake, it was that picture-perfect, #InTheMoment but unfortunately a camera-missed pic. The bee sting of the story - sometimes we are just meant to be in awe and take it in. 

Take in the understory of fall foliage

Thich Nhat Hanh sums it up best about ‘Bee-ing in a Cosmos Moment’.

“When we look deeply into
the heart of a flower, we
see clouds, sunshine,
minerals, time, the earth,
and everything else
in the cosmos in it.
Without clouds there
could be no rain,
and without rain
there would be no flower.”

The heart of a flower

And of course, no rainbows so let me know if you were also one of the lucky ones that got to see that #InTheMoment rainbow today.

An Hour of Play

#InTheMoment Tuesday

An #InTheMoment Tuesday letting this playful image speak all the words. Sometimes you need to regroup, rethink, reinvent, or just catch up on that year of conversation in an hour of play. No flowers, garden or design thoughts today - there's always the archives for that. 

It's just an #InTheMoment Tuesday to pave the path for creativity. Maybe just catch up with something or someone you've lost touch with - take an hour for play.

An #IPAWS Moment

It's an #IPAWS Moment

When life is going full speed ahead, it’s always important to hit the pause button; be #InTheMoment.  Feel the breeze and forget your worries. Guillaume Apollinaire says it best. “Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.” So rather than a #ThrowbackThursday, it’s an #IPAWS moment from our Border collie, Benny.

There will be plenty of time to catch up on everything design, garden and harvest related. Please don’t bring on the pumpkins quite yet. Enjoy this beautiful September summer day.

Nature’s Way

It’s Monday morning #InTheMoment imagery. 

#InTheMoment Sunflower (Twitter followers already got a sneak peek.)

But this is a 'just in case'. If nature did not find its way into your weekend, 
feel free to sit back and take a glimpse. 

A contemplative place by the lake.

Garden Moments (FYI - Be on the lookout for a bean recipe later this week.)

And what's in season? It's U-Pick it time - Peaches! Who doesn't love a fresh Peach?

For anyone who missed out  this weekend, it’s a quick glimpse at nature's daily performance of harmony and balance. It makes it easier to breathe in these last summer moments of August. And if you missed out on last Friday's design post, here's a retake - The Secret of the Sea. As was stated in the blog, 'To achieve the beauty of the design is creating harmony and balance with the sea.' 

This quote from Charles Cook sums up Nature’s Way best. “Your deepest roots are in nature.  No matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of life you lead, you remain irrevocably linked with the rest of creation.”
