Wow!
I can't believe it's the end of August (where did the Summer go?) and I actually kept up with the August Break posts as well! (thank you Susannah for photo Challenge!)
I could write reams about how much I love my husband, the place where we are living, and other things, but I chose to close with something a bit smaller in size yet this wonderful invention has encompassed all of the above.
It is my love for Photography and the Camera.
When I got engaged and was about to embark on a solo journey to Israel for six weeks, instead of a diamond ring, my fiance (now my husband of 36 years) gave me an Olympus Trip 35 camera.
The die was cast.
I have currently worn out and discarded 6 point and shoot cameras (both Canon and Nikon) over the last 3 years since I started doing almost daily shots!
My husband is convinced that electrics and I 'don't get along'. <lol>
When I at last break down and get some sort of Smartphone, I will probably go through a few of those as well! (husband take note)
Blessings to all those Moment Capturers out there: may your lens never fog up or your flash fail.
A joyful wandering wondering Journey as I meander with La Musa through the year attempting to do weekly projects along with other Online Courses that catch my butterfly mind.

August Break Day 29: Nature
This tree perfectly exemplifies my hope for My Nature as I go forward into Crazy Kronehood.
"Perhaps like the arbutus, also known as the Crazy-Woman Tree, we thrive in opposition to the norm, drop our leaves when we're not supposed to, shed our bark and still flower."
From British Columbia Reconsidered: Essays on Women - Gillian Laura Creese, Veronica Jane Strong-Boag pg. 296
Blessings to all those Crazy Krones out there!

August Break Day 28: Something New
And here I thought that my strawberries were finished for the Season, nope. Turns out there is one more hanging around <g>.
Blessings to all those who find 'something new' every day.

August Break Day 27: Lines
If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.
Juan Ramón Jiménez - Spanish poet, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956.
In my last year of high school, I took his advice and wrote my English Literature exam across the lines with his quote at the top of the page.
I received an A+. ( I think the teacher was amused).
Sunlight through the Blinds on a Tuscan style painted wall.
Blessings to all those who continue to 'write the other way'.

August Break Day 26: Morning
Poets and writers have lauded Morning's soft Light for centuries and if I am awake when that is happening, I agree.
But over the past years, Morning has come in two stages: Pill time when Mr Bear stumbles to the kitchen, takes his meds and has breakfast, then returns to bed; and the 'official' Morning when I wake up, take my pills, and have enough beanjuice (ie coffee) in me to comprehend the world around me.
Blessings to all those 'early risers' out there.

August Break Day 24: Memory
A young man in Les Baux, Provence.
Note the carefully tucked in hands, for he was told (as all little boys are told) 'You can look, but DON'T TOUCH!'

August Break Day 23: Adornment
This summer the Scarlet Runner has adorned my Jerusalem Artichoke 'forest' with peek a boo scarlet blooms and massive dangles of bean pods.
Blessings to all faithful waterers of the garden out there. May your efforts bear fruit!

August Break Day 14: Hands
I used to think of this as a capital L Luxury, but now I realize that a mani-pedi is a Necessity.

August Break Day 13: Pure Pleasure
On a day that is being blessed with Summer Rain, a hot cup of coffee and a couple of chocolate covered shortbread cookies while perusing the Art of Pilgrimage by Phil Cousineau. Heaven.
Blessings of the simple things to you.

August Break Day 12: On The Table
Phil Cousinea: The Art of Pilgrimage pg. 188.
Under last night's waning Grain Moon (now just a sliver past it's fullness) I took this shot of our patio table.
Blessings to those who always have a spare plate for the unexpected guest. May you never go hungry.
