I close my eyes and deeply inhale the scent of a camellia. The cool white scent slips down my nose and locks longing around and into my heart. I allow myself the sniffing of flowers and can therefore forgive the occasional need to over analyse.
Rain on leaves
Green on green
After rain sun on cloud
Sleeping dogs
To allow life, relationship and the magic of another to rearrange reality.

you live in such a beautiful place.
hel, one day i'll tell you about my lifelong dream of doing international relief work in Africa.
to see the pictures...its almost like i'm there smelling feeling looking. a bit of gauteng in cape town.
Both of you will have to come and visit me. We have lots of room for guests.
All the photos are lovely. Favourites are green on green and the cloud one.
You're making me wish I can come visit and help cob again!! Alas, no leave, no money. When you just start out working in the US, you get about 10 days of leave. It increases with service time. HUGE incentive not to job hop. After three years of service I'll get 15 days of leave instead of 10.
There's lots of things I do that I wish I didn't, and that I hope is offset by some of the other things I do. My overanalysing, overdriven streak balances against the me that will stand and stare at the clouds. The chunk of me that looks at the world, jaded and cynical - counterbalanced by a dreamer who stares into the night sky and counts the stars.
The stars are different on the other side of the world. I miss the Southern Cross.
I love all the photos but I'd be lying if I didn't say I loved the last one the best-- your pups are so sweet.
