Take a Moment to Relax

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all!  The video I have chosen for this post is a very soothing and relaxing Zen clip;  just two minutes in length.  Enjoy!

The photos I am sharing today are ones that I took on one of my recent walks.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.
