“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.” —David Attenborough

Where would we be without the tranquility of nature and amazing beauty of the earth? That my friends, is the question but until you find your own answer here is a photo of my little slice of heaven on earth: Codrington College, Barbados 🙂

A Narrower View

beautiful skies, narrow view

 

No matter how narrow the opening, there is usually a glimpse of a beautiful blue sky … if you look up (and you may even see a blackbird flying overhead as well) 🙂

“A soul which gives itself to prayer, either much or little, should on no account be kept within narrow bounds.”
~ Saint Teresa of Avila

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:12-14 (NIV)

The Pure White of my Garden

“The most lasting and pure gladness comes to me from my gardens.” ~ Lillie Langtry

White.  Is it really a colour? Am not 100% sure but think it’s the best example of purity there is in nature (after clear clean flowing water) and the flowers in my garden definitely seem to agree!
