A “beautiful day”
Nothing happened
And nothing was going to happen
The wind shook leaves
That did not fall
The moored boat did not sail
& the rain fell
On casual grass
Everything was full
Including the empty glass. ~Maureen N. McLane
I love these words by Maureen McLane...some of my most beautiful days are definitely those where nothing happens. The older I get, the more I understand it's truly the simple things that make me happy. I'm linking up today with Kathy's Song-ography and her prompt for this week is "The Summer Wind". I took this photo in Occoquan, VA on a beautiful day when nothing happened but me and my camera, walking through a quaint town, taking notice of little nothings. When looked at through a camera lens, boring nothings can become pretty somethings. I like how that works.
Thank you for stopping by!
Loving this shot!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot I love how the sun is shinning through.
ReplyDeleteThe light here is magical.
ReplyDeleteSimply Delightful. I love those "nothing" moments like this that as you said can be turned into pretty something's through your camera lens.
ReplyDeleteLove how you captured the sun at the end of a shaded pathway, under the canopy of the tree foliage. The tones in the photo are gorgeous. Thanks for joining in on Song-ography this week :)
ReplyDeleteThose Words say so much - I love these days as well! A beautiful Picture ... Inviting one to walk along the bridge ... a dreamy and peaceful atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteNice leading lines!
ReplyDeleteThat lighting is just magical!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and such lovely words....
ReplyDeleteand that is the magic of having a camera - boring nothings have all the potential of becoming beautiful somethings. You have gorgeous light in this shot - and such interesting depth.
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely, I can feel the peacefulness.
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING. First of all - adore the photo. And that quote! Going in the hand written journal!! It's one of those I wish I'd written....and me too, on the getting older and deeply appreciating the quiet...the small things!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture of summer light

Simple things that make me happy...you are so right! Just looking at the sun or sitting at a beach! The best things in life are for free. Will look up Maureen McLane now - thanks!
ReplyDeletei agree...i always say that a good day is a day when nothing happens. Looks like you had a great day with you and your camera!
ReplyDeleteWonderful poem. Thanks for sharing that. Kind of reminds me of my Labor Day. I did nothing much at all. And it was wonderful.
