Greetings, from far flung corners of the garden. These pics were taken an afternoon or two ago, just before the rain.
I hope all readers are having a good day, and I plan to return soon, with more of the same – only different.
Thoughts are things, and some have wings, while others bind with chains. Let them guide, or let them slide – just choose, and don’t complain.

Top of the time of day to you. These are the final pics in our London collection, I really hope you enjoy them. Todays assortment pay tribute to a Grange Hotel manager clearly blessed with a good eye for art. I featured the print of Kandinsky’s “Small Pleasures” because a copy graced the study in our favourite Glastonbury holiday retreat.
I’m sure that the views from the hotel window are pleasing to lovers of cityscapes. If I found myself there though, I suspect that the remoteness of forests, meadows, hills, streams, and birdsong would overwhelm me as surely as the old Christian church appears to be overwhelmed by the bloated cathedrals of commerce which dominate every inch of surrounding space.
Having written that, it must be said the hotel is impressive, and I dare say a welcome retreat from those cacophonous streets.
With thanks to our readers, as always. Namaste from Amras.
We who strive to think, speak, and behave according to our best understandings of dignity, truth, and honesty, can serve our confused brethren very well, I think, if we all pray most earnestly now for the establishment on earth of the following sentence:
No More Lies!

Greetings. How beautiful is this world: created for us. I can never find words adequate to describe the wonder of being alive. The red carpet is rolled before the feet of a monarch; and are we not, each and everyone of us, the anointed monarch of our own lives? To take these pics, I need to be driven into the forest, which is otherwise within walking distance. From there, I lean against the car, or hobble for a few feet, using my trusty walking stick to save me from an undignified tumble. On this occasion, as you can see, the said carpet had been prepared in advance. The local church, atop the hill, crowns the forest. I enjoyed immensely the job of taking these pics, and hope sincerely that you enjoy viewing them.
I want to take this occasion to thank everyone who drops by this blog. Your visits are appreciated thoroughly, and may I say too, that your blogs are always inspiring to me. So, despite the howling cacophony that thunders on without, peace is real, and is found only within. And within every blog I read, I sense a longing for that peace to be shared.
May those of us for whom peace is the both the destination, and the path, be ever more mindful of this truth in the crazy days just ahead.
Hoping as ever to return soon. Namaste, and peace from Amras.
Every time you take a positive action on the basis
of a high-level consideration, you establish
certainties of courage, self-assurance
and skills.

P.S., It seems that scoundrels are attempting to charge money online for photographs and original artworks from this site. Do not be duped.
