Simple Pleasures

December 21, 2009 By 10 Comments

Fresh snow, the smell of pine trees, being able to outside when I want to … I am so much more at peace with the world and with myself when I take time to remember the simple things and the pleasure they give… :)

    I agree, walks in the forest are a great way to relax. I can’t help but think that we are really lucky to live in a country where there’s still lots of nature close by to get back to. :)

    The snow is so pretty on the green branches, isn’t it? I like the shapes in the second shot!

    Lena, your photos are so pretty. Kind of makes me want to bundle up and see if our pines are as pretty draped in snow as yours are. I’m such a baby when it comes to the freezing weather! But it’s oh so pretty….

    Nice photographs – I love the pattern of pine needles spreading out from the cones. You’re right that the simple things in life often give the most pleasure!

    Cheers,
