Take Time to Relax

Hello everyone!  The video I have chosen for this post is a short, two minute video entitled "Soothing Music and White Sand Beaches."  I hope you all enjoy this as much as I!

Quotation:  To have faith is to trust yourself to the water.  When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown.  Instead, you relax...and float.  - Alan Watts

The photo I am sharing today is one I took on my Saturday walk a couple of days ago.  I found the golden yellow at the top of the tree so nice against the beautiful blue sky.  You just need to click on the image to see a larger view.

Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I really appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  9. Love those beaches. Remind me a bit of our Florida Panhandle beaches with all that white sand and aqua water. Your photo is a spring delight...the trees reaching high into that blue sky, the branches seeking the sun to releaf in golden-green beauty!

  13. That's a nice contrast between the yellow of the tree and the blue, blue sky--very pretty! And I like that quote. I can imagine floating on water, and it is a matter of faith that it will hold us up.

  16. El dorado sobre el azul son realmente bellos, pero me ha cautivado la humilde ramita que se abre paso en la parte superior izquierda tratando de tomar protagonismo. Un abrazo de Miguel.

    The gold on blue are really beautiful, but it has captured the humble twig finds its way into the top left trying to take center stage. A hug from Miguel

  29. Hi Linda,very relaxing video. I always enjoyed sandy beaches. In my country @ Malaysia, we are surrounded by beautiful islands and beautiful beaches too. Tioman island beaches were depicted in the 1958 movies, South Pacific and Bali Hai. It's a 2 hours journey from my house.

    You always take very beautiful picture. Keep up the good work. :)
    Take care.
