Last weekend as the grass began growing under a warmer sun and rain, i knew it was time to spread out the pasture, k and i worked hard and as we did the rain came. i am always working on fences in the rain and maybe that is the way it will always be. i was wet and cold, the fog was coming in and out as if it was playing the part of waves on the sea shore. i grabbed my camera and headed down the dirt driveway to capture what i could. my arms were heavy, elbow throbbing, clothing wet was strangely making me feel wakened. the seams between myself and nature were sewn and i was reminded how when the body works hard the mind can have a renewed clarity. later on when k came back and joined me on the hill we stood in the grays of a day drenched in rain, the wind would blow the fog towards us and then through us and for a while it was as if we both quietly transformed into ghost.
* thank you aran for such a kind act.

I love these images Nadia, they make me think of the vastness of the universe which makes these acts of kindness that much more cherished. The first image is not the one of all of them I would have chosen as my favorite, but the more I look at it..it’s a picture of stillness and rolling movement. Beautiful!
I so understand how you must have felt...one of my favorite things to do is to stand in the wind with my arms stretched out, letting it pass through me, renewing every part of me. Nature can be so mystical in it's healing.
I imagine this was a beautiful day.
your photos are breathtaking!

Lovely photographs. Such wonder and peace in them. I'm happy for your pixie dust. :)
We are moving sheep to pasture today...still some of the fences are down...it will be to the wire. The rain is lashing across our hill...I love to watch Him wrestle with the elements, he never gives in, that's what I love about him.
Ghosts...sounds so beautiful,
Sarah -x-
I'm glad you're feeling better :)

Wonderful photos, that fits very well with your text and emotion.
I love the final part in which you write *we stood in the grays of a day drenched rain, the wind would blow the fog towards us and then through us and for a while it was as if we both quietly transformed into ghost.*: it remembers me of Joyce.
Thank you for sharing and inspiring:)
The images are absolutely stunning and have such a magical feel to them (but I fear I always use the word magical when describing your images). Even on a dark wet day you find beauty. It is a gift my friend, truly. I hope your weekend has been peaceful and comforting and I look forward to seeing more photos of that fairytale world you seem to live in. (until I can see it in person!)

Oh, your photographs always stir something deep within my heart. You have a gift for finding beauty in the world and for sharing it with us. Thank you for that. This series is one of my absolute favorites since I've started reading your blog. Please keep seeing the beauty and sharing it!
as I mentioned to you before, I began at the beginning of your blog and as I did I so enjoyed your pictures and words but I have to say now that I love it all even more. Your pictures have a way of drawing me in in such a peaceful way...makes me want thank Kim as well. :-) you have such a gift, Nadia...and your gift blesses others.
wow dear friends you are so good to me, your words are like wool blankets and cozy fires the only difference is the never burn out are fall from my shoulders- i take them with me thank you all
Your words, more than ever, poetic, hauntingly lovely…as devoted companion to your photos. As before me, thankful for the kindness of Kim and Aran, as they gift us over and over again by your sharing Nadia.
Where we live is foggy as often as it is sunny. A common lament is to rail against the fog and clamor for the sun. Your stunning photos and elegant words are a reminder of the beauty in each moment of each day.
This was a lovely post, and as always beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing your gift of words and imagery with the world.
I love these images
That does not surprise me...you two are full of much goodness. I am so blessed to know you both! xo
Your photos are breathtaking. Thank you for taking time to capture the fog.
