August Break=Day 6 REFLECTION!

August Day 6 brings us to "REFLECTION"--When this word popped up for today's theme, my mind swirled with various thoughts and images. This word can be intangible.   

Can we not see 'reflections' in the water?  

 

 

Can we not see a 'reflection' of ourselves in nature? 

 

• Our eyes see different 'reflections' than our souls. 
• We can reflect on movement;
• we can reflect on past years;
• we can reflect or give consideration to a thought;
• we can reflect as we meditate;
• we can reflect on something said in anger.

 

How will you reflect today? 

 

 

 

 

August Break=Three

This is day five (5) of August Break.  Our theme for the day is THREE!  Now, what do you think when you hear THREE?

• First thought that comes into my head--"Baa Black Sheep, do you have any wool?  Yes sir,
• yes sir, THREE bags full!"  and as a fiber person, I certainly have more than three bags full! 
• Here are just three of my bags filled with knitting projects!   

ORANGE

August 4 brings us to ORANGE!  Orange is the color of saffron, pumpkins and apricots. It is between red and yellow on the spectrum of light, and in the traditional color wheel used by painters. Its name is derived from the Orange the fruit.  Orange is commonly associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, fire, activity, danger, taste and aroma and Autumn season! 
Did you know that Orange is one word you can not rhyme with?

ORANGE YOU GLAD YOU STOPPED BY!

 
 

 
 

 

August Break--Window!

August 3==window!  What does your window look out on?  Is it an open window to the world?

This window looks out over the deck towards the mountains.  A school behind us will soon be in session and we not only see youngsters, we'll hear the squeals and laughter!  This window is always open.

This one of my favorite views from our visit to Greece.  But, this window is closed. 

Have you decided if your window to the world will be open or shuttered?

August Break--Pattern!

 

August 2 brings us patterns for the day and this is one of my favorite views with hubby in blue shirt and grandson.................................

 

 

How is this for a pattern?  A maze that winds and winds--can you find your way out?

Some days we feel like we are in a maze and can't seem to find our way to the solution.  May your Saturday be filled with uncomplicated pathways to success.

Let's Break!

We are following the suggestion of  Susannah Conway on her blog and taking the month of August to post photos of each of our days!  It was a couple of years ago that I posted a photo each day for a year.  It was inspirational to look around my environment and see ordinary things in a different light.  When I came upon Susannah's website, I thought what a great thing to do during the.month of August.  So, I'm taking an August Break to once again see the world through a camera lenses.  Hope you will journey along with me and take a break!

Today I am sending this card to a friend who is recovering from a staph infection.  She is home bound so I' m hoping my little note and card will bring some cheer to her day!
