For this week's photo assignment we will focus on the quiet calm of the world
as it re-energizes around us.

There's something about the village church, grazing horses and the subtle, muted palette of early Spring that instantly calms me...
You wouldn't know looking at this image that so many parts of the UK are being battered by 100 mph winds and terrible floods... Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected...
A small stone...
The horses know they are on holy ground,
Bowing their heads, giving thanks,
For green shoots, and dry fields.
PS I forgot to add - there's still time to enter this weeks Giveaway here. I'm gifting this book, and a happy to post anywhere worldwide :-)
Thank you for stopping by Pret-A-Vivre.com Claire, I enjoyed your random 5 and sends my prayers for the victims of the flood's ravages.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy winter. I will keep those affected in my thoughts and prayers. Lovely pastural scene you have captures.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sight Claire.
ReplyDeleteWhat a peaceful scene. Makes me wish I was there. There is such devastating weather everywhere these days. I'm praying for everyone who has had to deal with the craziness.
ReplyDeleteAm loving your peaceful view and wishing I could share it. The wind and rain is crashing down again in Wales and although it's almost the middle of the day, it's just gone incredibly dark again :( I do hope this weather passes over us all soon - I'm sure pretty much all of the UK has had enough now! More calm pictures please - to remind is there is life beyond storms! xx
ReplyDeleteVery calm and lovely. Some years it's starting to show signs of Spring in February here too. This year....a blanket of white!
