The Warm Evening Sun
“All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind. ”
-John Lubbock

First, thank your for the wonderful quote by John Lubbock, it rings so happy and true with me. I love your photos, they are beautiful and serene. A stillness I recognise from lakes in Sweden where I come from.

Beautiful I enjoyed these very much!
I totally agree, wealth and riches do not come from a wallet. Nature provides all the riches one could desire.
Gorgeous stills. I could feel myself relax. I love your blog theme.
Thanks for the follow.
Tom, these are definitely postcard or notecard worthy! Wonderful shots!🌈
Lovely 🌈💜🙋
Today is definitely going to have a warm evening sun. I love this time of year when you can stay outside longer and watch the day change from a beautiful sunset to a starry night.
Serenity discovered in words and photos…thanks for sharing another gorgeous post!
Such peace and calm.
Always impressive, Tom. Great light and color!
I particularly enjoyed the photo showing the line of chartreuse growth bisecting the blue of water and sky.
And I was most taken with the quotation from Lubbock, whom I didn’t know. Being a Texan, of course I thought immediately of Lubbock-the-city, and grew curious. While I can’t say there’s a direct connection, there may be a tangential one. The city was named for a Lubbock who was descended from one Richard Lubbock: born in Norfolk, England in 1766.
I enjoyed learning about John Lubbock, too. The quotation you include certainly rings true to me.
