Well I didn’t get much alone time last week, nor did I find much peace – it was a busy one. So this week, I am combining both last week’s Lens artist photo challenge (Alone time) and this week’s one (Finding Peace). For me time alone, is the time I find peace. Time to still the brain, recharge the batteries. Being in or close to nature, and being alone, means all the senses can be absorbed in the beauty around me.
No place better than the beach.

After the beach it is my garden.




But really anywhere where I can be close to nature there is contentment.

Yes, they go well together, these two themes. You love nature and find your peace there – just like i do. Beautiful images and peaceful alonetime. The poppy and the rainbow are my favourites. Hopefully this next week will be more peaceful!

These photos showed just the kind of situations where I too relish being alone. Your sea picture set the whole thing up, while the rainbow rounded it off. Lovely.

An excellent combo Karina – I feel the same although I can also find peace if I am with someone who shares my love of nature and enjoys the quiet. That poppy image is amazing!!!

These two themes are so closely related that your beautiful photos easily suit both of them 🙂 Alone time on a quiet beach or in a garden – what could be more peaceful?!
