Dewy Delights

earthy aromas
water adorns tiny webs
a sublime beauty

These images were all taken in mom’s yard on my visit to Virginia. It was a magical morning after a light dew from a cool evening. I especially love how the spider webs and water drops form a sparkling mosaic.

Reading a recent post from fellow blogger Tania reminded me that it’s time for another soul break or as I like to call them, soul spaces. Nature is my favorite way to nurture my soul and rest in beingness. This is the post where I changed the name of my series to Soul Spaces and offered some tips for nurturing your soul.

Even walking around the neighborhood and appreciating beauty is a good soul break for me. If you would like a soulful tour of the California coast with Tania, explore this post called taking a soul time out.
Please make time for your soul.
Blessings, Brad

Nature is also where I find soul space and at this time of the year all sorts of magic is occurring. Thank you dear Brad. XX

Hi Brad, I am fortunate to live in the mountains of Murcia, Spain. My soul break / space exists just outside my gate. We feel forever blessed when we go out. I’m about to do a blog about this so I’ll include a few pics to help you visualise.

Something so mesmerizing about dewdrops. I just now returned from a walk. I paused often to stare into dewdrops on fallen leaves. It’s kinda like peering into a tiny universe. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this beauty, Brad.

I love these images, Brad. Spider web is very strong. I read about using spider web silk to make clothing. I had a hummingbird nest with a baby hummingbird in it two years ago. The nest is made of spider web and other things, small but very strong. Animals are so clever. The hummingbirds are still living in my garden.

They’re cleaver, Brad. I’ve watched sliders spinning the webs in our garden a few times. How they spread the first few silk to anchor the webs is amazing.

I agree. I see Black woman asking White women in anguish (on Twitter) if they will support them in their and their families’ daily fight against racism. A crazy premise, anyway, when so many voted otherwise in 2016, but it seems to matter to these Black women. I am not American, but my heart hurts for them.
