Timeless …

I am having a very rough day today for a lot of reasons and found myself feeling quite down in the dumps.  Each Thursday, there is a new nonteam challenge item to inspire people to create Etsy treasuries around the item.  I decided to see if that item today would inspire me to find a better more beautiful place to be.  Gazpacho and Alfred the snails inspired me to find some dreamy timeless beauties and I feel soothed.  Here is more information on the nonteam challenges:  http://treasurychallengenonteam.blogspot.com/
 
Enjoy!

For anyone who would like that summertime feel with bunnies included, here is an Etsy treasury I created today.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Worn

Blue sky through pine trees

I hope everybunny is enjoying a wonderful day.

WordPress had suggested a photo challenge this week of worn and for me that just kept coming out as worn out.  It has been a long and tiring week of on and off storms rolling through.  For us that means powering down computer equipment a lot and then sometimes working late into the night trying to catch up.

When I am worn out, I love nature as a pick me up.  This photo is sunshine and blue skies shining down through Georgia pines, the view you get laid out in a lounge chair or hammock.  I hope you all had or have a chance today to kick back, relax and just look up at a beautiful sky.  So relaxing!

Tuesday Treasury – Animal Quirks Mode

I was in the mood for a laugh. So I created this quirky animal treasury on Etsy.

Afternoon in the Garden

Concrete Cottontail Napping in Living Green Rabbit Ears
We’re all ears here …

Sleeping in the sunshine … This is the concrete cottontail that sleeps in the patch of fuzzy green rabbit ears that grows by our back door.  The expression on this sleeping bunny’s face is so sweet, it always makes me smile.

Photo Challenge: Morning

Good Morning Concrete Cottontail
Good Morning Concrete Cottontail

In our garden we have many cottontail bunnies.  Some of them are brown with fluffy white tails and we scare them off if we move too fast.  Others are concrete cottontails that we have placed around our garden. This cute little guy is our first greeter for visitors walking up to our front door.  I love the way the morning light is playing up the bushes on one side but still leaving our little friend some shadows to hide in and surprise people when they first see him.

Fun Photo

Bunny sticking tongue out

Yuck, icky tasting grass!

Popping in quickly here this evening.  We were with power and without power on and off as thunderstorms rolled through here this afternoon.  That is a mixed blessing.  We need the rain, but not being able to trust the power to use the Internet is hard when you have web based businesses!

Photo: Sunset Rose

Glorious rose with sunset colors

I don’t know the actual name of this rose, but the glorious colors remind me of a vivid sunset.  I had a day I was particularly down about something that had really gone wrong with work.  Blaine arrived home at the end of the day with a bouquet of these roses.  Can we say, Awwwwww!  I don’t even remember now what had me so down that day.  The roses are the memory now.  The colors were so spectacular that I had to take a picture to preserve the beauty.

Treasury – A Day In the Woodlands

Sun Up to Sun Down in the Woodlands Etsy Treasury

There is just something wonderful about the quality of light in the woods coming down through all the tree branches or breaking free in a meadow by the forest.  These items on Etsy all captured the feel of a day in the woodlands from sun up to sun down.  Enjoy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Water

Ducks on Blue Water Pond
Back to Blue Water Swimming

I rounded a curve in the pond and took this picture of the ducks starting off swimming.  From this direction, the water has changed to reflecting cool blues, deep greens and charcoals from the sky and trees.
