Hiking down Havasu Creek.
We spent 3 magical days backpacking at Havasu Falls, one of the most beautiful place on our planet.
First morning at Havasu Falls. This was one of our most memorable backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon, USA.
A Japanese restaurant complex near by Tokyo, Mount Takao. In this restaurant each table has it`s own private room. There are around 90 private dining rooms in this restaurant and all are placed aaround streams and ponds, cherry blossoms tress, winding lanes and Japanese bridges overlooking the mountains. At night lanterns and flames light up the area. / This is one of the private dining rooms, if you look closely you can see the koi in the water below the room.
Acrylics (16×12 inches) I imagine that there is a place just like this, somewhere in Ireland. And maybe there is good fishing in the stream.

This is a part of the UK where I took this photo…I believe it is in Arundel /
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, / if a blade of grass springing up in the fields / has power to move you, / if the simple things of nature have a / message that you understand, / rejoice, for your soul is alive.
We never thought this day would come, / But it’s finally here at last, What once was our bright future, / Is now are dim-lit past, But we hold onto the memories, / The lessons that we learned, The pathways we have traveled down, / The corners that we turned, And soon we say our sad goodbyes, / That will last us forever, We may see each other again, / Maybe once or maybe never, So make your goodbyes ones to remember, / The kind that will stay in their heads, Those are the goodbyes they will treasure, / The ones that were sad to be said.

There will be times when you will be in / the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset / or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. / Don’t be bitter because you can’t record it. / Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!
River & Dam in Durham / / A person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile. Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels. But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene. / ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare,
Tea room in Whitby North Yorkshire
When I am an old horsewoman / I shall wear turquoise and diamonds, / And a straw hat that doesn’t suit me / And I shall spend my social security on / white wine and carrots, / And sit in my alleyway of my barn / And listen to my horses breathe. I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night / And ride the old bay gelding, / Across the moonstruck meadow / If my old bones will allow / And when people come to call, I will smile and nod / As I walk past the gardens to the barn / and show instead the flowers growing / inside stalls fresh-lined with straw. I will shovel and sweat and wear hay in my hair / as if it were a jewel / And I will be an embarrassment to all / Who will not yet have found the peace in being free / to have a horse as a best friend / A friend who waits at midnight hour / With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes / For the kind of woman I will be / When I am old.
Simplicity is making the journey of / this life with just baggage enough.~ Reduce the complexity of life / by eliminating the needless wants of life, / and the labors of life reduce themselves. / ~Edwin Way Teale !
Some days the sun consoles my fears / And lifts the wetness of my tears / Some nights the stars and moon embrace / The sorrow written on my face
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, / When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, / When funds are low and the debts are high, / And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. / When care is pressing you down a bit. / Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit. / Life is queer with its twists and turns / As every one of us sometimes learns. / And many a failure turns about / When he might have won had he stuck it out: / Don’t give up though the pace seems slow - / You may succeed with another blow. / Success is failure turned inside out - / The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. / And you never can tell how close you are. / It may be near when it seems so far: / So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit / It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
