breathing space



We just got back home last night from a five day break in the countryside.....it was wonderfully refreshing, you know how I love the countryside. Somehow I find it so much easier to breathe there, and the literal space seems to give me space in my head. I took hundreds of photographs while we were away and when I saw this week's prompt, I wasn't sure which to choose on the theme of movement. I have pictures of water rushing over a dam, streams, a cheeky chaffinch on the wing mirror, sparrows and a robin who could scarcely keep still long enough to pinch the crumbs from our picnic table. I will share some of my other photos later, as for now I have settled on this one. Taken from the passenger window of our moving car, a red kite wheeling overhead against a glorious blue sky.

  4. What a lovely photo, I like the way you have the cloud centrally at the bottom edge and then that beautiful soaring into blue. The image makes my breathing slow down. I'm glad you've had a break, I hope you've managed to bring some of it back with you :)
