Intrigue™ Designs©Mother

One of my absolute favorite things to do at this time of year is using my long lens for close-up captures of leaf and branch designs. I gasp out loud at times just so amazed how Mother repeatedly, hands down, is the Master Artist. One of my most valuable lessons from Hubby has been his advice to fill the frame. Don't only look at what you want as your focal point but look at the background along with the surrounding objects. How do they blend or not? How do they contrast or not? Do they overall make a beautiful composition…

The Week In Seven Photos

It's been a week of revelations, since childhood I've always wanted a super power and was so happy to discover after I voted that I've had a super power all along. Discovering new words always makes me smile and this week I learned trumpery is an actual word that means worthless nonsense and derives from a Middle French word meaning "to deceive." I have no idea how many kayaking outings are left in the season, but my favorite ornery swan made it obvious this week that he's not going to miss me over the winter. It appears Harper only enjoys…

A semi‑unexpected break

Hi everyone, I hope you're well and no this isn't clickbait 💔. Today's post may come as a surprise but long story short, I'm going to take a little blogging break...now for the long part to further explain! I've never gone away without telling you beforehand so right now you're witnessing me keep up my side of the deal 😜😂. I've been thinking of this for a short while, mostly in the early hours when I wake up but I tended to forget as the days went on so it was kinda expected but not so soon. I'm usually my…

Happy Birthday to Me! And a Blog Survey for all my amazing readers!!

Hello all of you lovely readers!! How are you doing today? So just in case you thought I was making a joke in the title, no it is not click bait. Today is my 20th Birthday WHOOOP WHOOOOPP!!! Photo by Polina Tankilevitch on Pexels.com It's my first birthday away from home, which feels a little weird and a bit sad because I normally spend the day with my friends and family, followed by our traditional dinner of Chinese takeaways. However, today is not a day to be sad at all!! Not only am I leaving my teen years behind me…

12 Most Fascinating Pyramids in Mexico

Written by Ishani Roy. Mesoamerica (present-day central and southern Mexico) witnessed the rise and fall of many civilizations and rulers during the pre-Hispanic era. The civilizations that thrived here were the Olmec, Zapotec, Teotihuacan, Maya, Toltec and Aztec civilizations. These civilizations although distinct from each other in many aspects shared many common cultural traits. They had common writing methods, calendar, ball games and also similarities are pertinent in the way they built their monuments, temples and other buildings of importance. After many years archaeologists have found many relics of these civilizations that determine the grandeur and splendor of these cultures.…

God Heals All Who Believe

The Lord is our refuge and our strength. Through Him alone, we have healing. Through Him alone is our salvation. For by God’s grace, Jesus died for our sins so that we might live and believe He is his Son, and by believing, we have healing. “When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, ‘Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.’ And he said to him, ‘I will come and heal him.’ But the centurion replied, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say…

Loving Yorkshire ‑3

‘Being from Yorkshire is as much a state of mind as a geographical fact.’ – Liam Allen If I only had a penny for every time I heard this sentence since I moved here, I would have paid off my mortgage! I love how proud are the Yorkshire people of being from God's Own County - and they have all the reason to be, it is a stunning place! More photos of York, a little gem in the North:

Ordinary Photos of an Ordinary Week #7

Back from vacation and back to my normal routine and time for ordinary photos week #7. Not much exciting going on but it was a busy week. Still looking towards gratitude and appreciation through the ordinary. Meet Lucy, the 3/4 pug. She is my youngest daughters dog. I went to visit her and my daughter. They live about a half hour from me so it is not a bad drive. My daughter and her girlfriend have been busy making Halloween decorations. They made these ghosts from plywood and paint! They also put together this scarecrow and added a couple of…

Dettagli di Tammisaari.

Tammisaari e' una graziosa cittadina di mare della Finlandia meridionale. Tammisaari, il cui nome significa letteralmente: Isola delle quercie, si trova in quella zona costiera bilingue dove la prima lingua e' lo svedese ma dove le due culture convivono da sempre. Va da se' che anche Tammisaari ha un nome svedese: Ekenäs. Gironzolando per le vie di Tammisaari, fra le basse e coloratissime case in legno che sono anche seconde case di vacanza, mi hanno incuriosita le maniglie dei cancelli e delle porte, in ferro battuto, in uno stile assolutamente semplice e antico, che vi propongo nelle foto seguenti: Spero…

You Seriously Want My Advice?

Here I am doing a post I thought I'd never do. But in all seriousness, I still feel like a noob in the blogging world, so when people ask me for MY advice on blogging, I'm like BITCH WHAT? haha. When I look to advice I read posts from Olivia Blake or Pooja. I feel like I don't deserve to make a post like this. You asked for it though & I'm here to serve. So here's some advice from a beginner blogger. If you are new to my page, Hi! Welcome to Mind.Beauty.Simplicity where we talk about all things…

Olduğundan Daha Genç Görünmenin Sırları

Yaşım ilerledikçe olduğumdan daha genç görünmenin sırları bende merak uyandırmaya başladı. Maalesef toplumda en basit bir market alışverişinde, toplu taşımada ya da bankada bile kilolu ya da yaşlıysan ikinci sınıf insan muamelesi görüyorsun. Hatta sürekli görmezden geliniyorsun. Halbuki genç ve güzel görünüyorsan, bakımlı bir kadınsan, insanlar her zaman sana karşı daha nazik oluyor. Her ne kadar şiddetle kınasam ve elimden geldiğince başkalarına bu sınıflandırmaya göre davranmamaya çalışsam da; kendi adıma bir müddet daha "teyze" kategorisine girmek istemiyorum. Peki ne yapmak lazım genç görünmek için: Gülmek seni her zaman genç gösterir. 1- Moodunu yüksek tut: Ruhun gençse, sen kendini genç hissediyorsan…

Don't despise your small beginning

Your starting point The human mind was created with the power to literally achieve anything it conceives. So, everyone—including you—has great potentials to achieve more than the world’s greatest in different fields of endeavour. Like diamonds in the dirt, many people are yet to discover themselves while others are waiting for adequate resources and the right time to fulfil their God-ordained destinies. But there’s no right time—except now. Wise people separate themselves from the crowd by starting with the little they already have—skills, knowledge and time, which is money. To get anywhere in life, you must launch from somewhere or…

Column: How music has impacted my life

Music has always had a huge impact on me. Growing up, my mom would play all the classics on the way to school: The Beatles, Britney Spears, N-SYNC, the Backstreet Boys and ABBA. I grew up loving car rides because of the happiness "I Want It That Way" would bring me. Based on a strong foundation, I've come to realize the significance that music has on me, particularly in shaping my high school experience. Each year, the songs I listen to are representative of a different version of myself. My taste in freshman year reminds me of a difficult transition…

Spittoons: What Were These Gross Things?

Back in the good old days, spitting men could spit into this thing called a spittoon. It was a bloody common thing all the time. We first came across the things when playing The Curse of Monkey Island. You can even spit into it! But what the hell was the point, anyway? Let's spit it out! A Brief History of Spittoons In the 19th century, spittoons became a very common feature of life in the United States. They were everywhere: Pubs Brothels Railway stations Stores Hotels Saloons There were there largely for chewers of tobacco. Who'd chew on the stuff,…

Our west coast adventure

On Monday, JP and I are packing up our car and taking our family on an eight-week road trip, heading west for the Pacific. 8 weeks. Six people. Over 6,000 miles. In one car. It’s either the best idea we’ve ever had or the worst. But definitely, one of the two and I’m praying it’s the former. When JP first brought this idea up to me a few months ago (yes, he gets all the credit for this crazy plan), I immediately loved it. “Yes, let’s do it. Let’s put the kids in the car, get out of here, and…
