Silver Lining | Nimavenl

With my new Twitter account going and people deciding to "follow" me every day, I figured there might be a chance some of these people actually read what I have to say.

I "follow" 200+ people, and I certainly can't read everything written by everyone, so I don't expect others to read everything written by me, however if some people read what I write and enjoy it, then that would be awesome!

I tried to find a quote I liked to use for today's update. Something about how life is a train and we should enjoy not only the journey but also the destination. Or maybe something about how every cloud has a silver lining and how after rain there will be sunshine (Dutch saying). As I couldn't find a quote on any of those subjects I decided to go with something slightly different:

"I have found that if you love life, life will love you back."
~Arthur Rubinstein

Also true, and also a reflection of how I'm feeling today.


As I'm still trying to think of a good Silver Lining quote, however, I figured that perhaps a picture does say more than a thousand words... So here are some Silver Lining pictures I want to share.

Where Worlds Connect / Where Worlds Collide | Nimavenl

Out walking last month I came across numerous bridges. To be expected, as I was walking in an area with lots of little streams and rivers, an area that attracts many who want to enjoy nature and 'the outdoors' without having to go very far. There's something about bridges that speaks to me, something that draws me to them. Standing on a bridge looking down, watching the world below go by, it can feel as if the world below is separate from the world above that I am in. Which bridge one stands on makes little difference - whether it is people and cars passing down below or ducks and boats, the feeling remains the same. A different world, so close yet also so far away... One world above the bridge and another separate world below it. When it comes to enjoying bridges as a lover of photography and an explorer of the world, I most enjoy photos that show not just the world above the bridge and the world below it, but also the separate world that connects the two. Today's ...

Blurry Birdwatching Photos

When you can't go outside, invite nature in, instead... ... And go birdwatching on your own balcony! My ankle still hurts, which makes going outside and enjoying nature a bit of a challenge... One that hurts. Especially seeing how lovely today was! So if I can't go out and enjoy nature, then nature can come visit me instead! Put a few pieces of bread out on the balcony hoping to attract a few of the birds that live and play around here. They visit occasionally, however tend to fly off again as soon as they see movement. Which meant that today I sat very still, hoping they'd stay long enough for me to take a few photos. Many of the images turned out blurry or unclear, either because the birds were too fast or I was too slow. A bit of both, if you ask me. The blurry photos look something like this...   There's something about those blurry images that makes me smile... Birds being birds, perhaps. I'll show some of the non-blurry images in the ...

Even though taking photos or posting Photo Challenges hasn't been on my priority list lately, there is something about a misty morning that is hard to resist. Knowing that the sun is shining behind the 'smokescreen' and waiting for that perfect moment when whatever you're taking photos of looks just right in the light... Here's one of the photos I took last Sunday. Isn't our world beautiful, stunning and amazing?!
