Pick Me Up


What picks you up, when you are feeling off or down, or just in need of time out.Nature always elevates my mood, unless my sinuses are compromised, I am always in awe of it's beauty. Taking photos inspires me, picks me up, coffee or tea, hugs and kind gestures, seeing my dog greet me, even if I only went out to get the mail and return, a card of thanks or kind note, etc.

Here are a few photos of my weekend Pick me up's:


                              My daughter doing somersaults on our trampoline in our back yard.




A necklace I found at the local Thrift Shop; I haven't decided if I am keeping it on putting it in my Etsy store.


The last rose of Fall; My Mother's Day rose, bloomed and it is the largest rose, I have ever seen in my yard.
Gorgeous bloom in November?!  It is unusual...

 A surprise in my container pot; My bell pepper plant broke mid summer. I was stunned to see this green globe growing.  



              Gorgeous fall foliage; finally the colors are starting to peek.  It is late this season!~

Lacey leave patterns on our shed; Hope you make time for pick me ups~

BEAUTIFUL images - just stunning. Amazing perseverance of the little green pepper, hey? Thanks for an uplifting start to my day - it was a real pick-me-up:)
Our fall came late this year too. But now it's gorgeous. And I'm with you on being outdoors-- I love it. I'm actually excited to go outside and rake leaves.

Ellie, beholding the beauty of nature has a way of clearing my head too. I took extra long walk around the neighborhood just reflecting and enjoying the myriad of colors Saturday. Can't tell you just how much that picked me up and settled my mind. The necklace is beautiful. Thanks for sharing all the lovely photos.
