Summer is almost over, and the hot humid days are transitioning to crisp and cool. Green leaves are fading to oranges and yellows.

Plans for the day are still shaping up. There’s a moment here to relax with a coffee break or a cup of tea. Enjoy the stillness of the woods or identify a songbird. Clear your mind of past and future, stress and worry. Concentrate on the tastes and smells, and the sensation of quiet pause. Practice being right here, right now.

If time allows, please stop in and visit me to see the complete display of Smoky Mountains Photography at the William Britten Gallery in Gatlinburg, TN.  I’m in the Morning Mist shops along Glades Road.
