the beauty of life

I had an absolutely sublime walk on the beach with my best girl (my dog) and my Hasselblad camera last week. We walked slowly, deliberately and mindfully through the wood chip trail on our way to Big Sandy Bay where upon we soaked in the mild weather and calm waters. I decided I didn't want to be afraid of my Hasselblad any longer and I'm so glad I took her out for a spin! Creating images through it requires mindfulness and so the almost empty beach and my patient walking partner were the perfect pairing to use up a roll of film.

Saturday we ventured to Taste of the County where we tried various wines and some unusual but tasty fair such as wild boar and chiptole and pepper chocolate bark, yum! And Sunday was spent at the cabin picking a honey container full of wild raspberries (can't believe they're still in abundance!), zucchini, tomatoes and squash from the garden and eventually, sitting quietly to soak in the silence, the trees and the exposed flat rock that sits along the perimeter of the island.

Later we returned home only to start watching Season Two of Six Feet Under. A friend lent me her dvd's of this show and we've fast become addicted to watching it every night for the past week. These dvd's are a treat when you're without cable or satellite.

Anything you've become a bit addicted to with the new season?
