hello show & tell friends! yesterday i happened to catch a glimpse of a photo op on our back porch...a fantastic pattern of light hitting my vintage watering can. it was created by the sun's rays passing thru the decorative back of my french "spring" chairs. (see those HERE). i am sure it has been cast there many times before, but then again, we haven't seen alot of sun lately so maybe i am just paying more attention! shine on!
well that sighting inspired me to cruise around the great outdoors and take a few more snapshots to share. everyday beauty at it's best.
this crusty old european wall fountain (my hubby has another theory to what it might be) is propped in the same corner all year. i just swap out it's contents for the season which now happen to be cheerful annuals {below}.
recognize the little windmill {below}? yes...it's the find from my last post that created so much interest while on display @ patinaWHITE. i know...it's not nice to tease...but i really had to show off my prize! it now sits quietly on my porch.
i like a "less than serious" approach to decorating. which is why i have mixed a collection of pitch forks with weathered gauges + a rusty car horn topped off with a glass fish float from alaska. all the above mentioned are showcased in a goat cart. who woulda thunk it?
i may have gotten a little too close for my own good...but luckily this busy bee {below} was docile in temperament and on a mission.
it wouldn't be a summer without the many wrens taking over my hanging porch plants as nesting headquarters. this mama bird is going to have her work cut out for her taking care of all these eggs {below}...then her soon to be young'uns.
last but not least...a pair of fence posts tops have been retired to lower ground in my flower bed. they are quite happy with their latest positions. although they might appreciate a winter somewhere away from a heavy blanket of snow!
there is great beauty in simple things...
if we only take the time to notice them.
thanks for sharing this little light of mine...how will you let your's shine?
