To SIT BENEATH A TREE and Read

What a wonderfully calming video. I can see the attraction of reading beneath leafy branches like that.
ReplyDeleteIt allows you to quietly capture those moments from when you were a kid and summer was a wonder.
DeleteI always prefer sitting in the shade rather than in the sun.
ReplyDeleteThe shade is always more subtle and comforting.
DeleteMe too, reading under a tree has always been a favorite activity!
ReplyDeleteIt is pure bliss.
DeleteYou paint with your words and pictures such a lovely calming world.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sometimes I just have to escape the swirling world going on around me.
DeleteI agree, sitting in the shade of a tree on a hot day is ideal. The lady in your photograph doesn't seem to have found very much in the way of shade but perhaps she the tree is protecting her from wind instead. The only problem I find is that the sun's constant movement means that you also need to move to avoid getting hot because the shade has been lost or getting too cold because it's too shady, but some people are just never satisfied!
ReplyDeleteAnd that photo was from the days when "reading novels" was one reason women were sent to asylums.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I'd never heard about that. Very scary. Actually, insane.
DeleteAlas - the days before air conditioning and Kindles...
ReplyDeleteYes, back when there were less distractions.
