Ripples of Gold Dust!

Tuesday's walk back home from work, I must say that I was lucky for this one! A sunny day after weeks of cold, dark and wet days. 

With the sunlight at it's right intensity and level, the reflections of trees by the riverbanks looked like paintings on water!

Walking over the bridge across the river, I could see these guys rowing their boat, and knew in a minute they would cross underneath the bridge and get to my side. Quickly grabbed my mobile for a click...

The ripples on the river water..... 
The reflection of the sunlight, On those pretty ripples..... 
Something from which I could not take my eyes off.....


Were they:
Ripples of Love?
Ripples of Peace?
Ripples of Gratitude?
Ripples of Hope?
Ripples of Joy?
Not sure!

But sure they resembled
Ripples of Gold dust! 

Yes they did look like gold dust scattered on water! I did wait till they rowed away!

Have a lovely weekend friends! :-)

Do not suppress it-that would hurt you inside. 
Do not express it-this would not only hurt you inside, 
it would cause ripples in your surroundings. 
What you do is transform it.
~Peace Pilgrim

Sending you all ripples of Peace, Love, Hope, Joy and Gratitude!

Light at the end of the Tunnel...

Light at the end of the Tunnel!!!

This is what struck my mind as I saw this scene. It was a bit worrying to see the river flooded, although it wasn't causing much damage around, the colour of the water turning brown signaled something to me.

This is a pathway people use to get to the other side of the river, and it was flooded and slushy, but the view was worth it all. I looked through and could see a brighter side where people were feeding the geese and the swans. Thought it was a great view, and clicked a few pictures with my mobile and camera. 

P.S: The pictures I have shared here were taken with my mobile...
Pictures were converted to black and white to minimise distraction and focus on the brighter spot alone.

I did get a few shots staying far away, wasn't satisfied with the results, cos that was not the way I wanted it. I wanted that dark spooky effect with light at the end! I wanted to bring out that transition...

I moved a bit further towards the bridge. As I stooped down to get a shot, I saw this couple waiting at this end debating if they should cross over to the other side this way or take the longer route, when the man decided to take this route. I remembered Demi Lovato's quotes:


No matter what you're going through, 
there's a light at the end of the tunnel 
and it may seem hard to get to it 
but you can do it and just keep working towards it 
and you'll find the positive side of things.
~Demi Lovato

I thought nothing could be better here, with a subject in this frame and here it is :-)

Also remembering Ada Adams's quote, “There is a light at the end of every tunnel. Some tunnels just happen to be longer than others.”


So my dear friends, 

There is always light at the end of the tunnel!
Never give up!

Have a great weekend friends...
Peace and love...

The Riverside Walk by the Woods!

I remembered what John Lubbock had quoted when I was walking in the woods by the riverside!

Earth and sky, woods and fields,

lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea,

are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than

we can ever learn from books.

~John Lubbock

So true, I am without doubt one of those "some" that John Lubbock has mentioned. As I write this down, I can feel that in my heart, how miraculously nature can work and also its way of healing so many things that are limitless to be mentioning here.

Sharing here the pictures that were taken during this particular walk!

The beauty of the woods

The songs of the birds

The sound of the river

The wait for the morning Sun

The cool Winter breeze

The gentle warmth it holds

And the peaceful walk

Nothing can compare!

~Livingsta

I leave you all with these beautiful feelings that I experienced, and hope you all had a blessed weekend! Have a wonderful week ahead! Blessings and Peace!
