For the acrophobic that I am, it is most unusual for me to sit in one! 

These unusual nooks and crannies…

As much as I love Nature, I am wary of going too close into the nooks and crannies, if you will, of the plants and trees. I am not most comfortable at the thought of insects and the like. But one morning of last week, I was prodded by my visiting mother to check out this latticework in one such spot in the grass and close to the plants roots, in the dark and the deep. It was magical how the dew drops settled on the fragile spiderweb: this striking show tucked away from the world.

A steaming mug of chai / tea, to be enjoyed right here right now.

…my steaming cuppa!
Tastes the best once off the kettle / saucepan. The lingering flavor lasts until after, reminding you of a pleasant morning you’d had. And you could not recreate the same flavor again with your microwave or stove. The slow rising steam dancing to the tune of time passing.
Life’s moments are best enjoyed in the moment. In the now. Never could you re-create the same moment ever again,

The ever transient clouds…

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge

I could look at the sky forever.
The world gets a different depth,
And you are in motion
Set by the drifting clouds above
A center discovered within
that pulls to the ground.
A calming trance…

Hope you see what I see through this picture.
