“They love to discover, these two.”
It is a bit of a catch-phrase between Remi and I. Because it is oh-so true. Discovery…the power of it, the adventure…has been a long link in our relationship. As a perpetual revelation of the new, it can be addictive. We roamed the world wide to sip its brew but now find our panoramas more confined.
I spend a lot of time in our little village. It is a Provence that is off the map and that too holds a bit of a thrill. But the challenge has been to keep seeing, to keep discovering and not fall prey to its lullaby, no matter how charming it may be.
I want to wrap the beauty of the world around me so tightly that it courses through my veins. And it is right there, everywhere, this ultimate luxury, our great gift.
Lately, the morning dew or la rosée on the grass has been wicking at my ankles as I walk the dogs. And so I open my eyes a little wider, let my heart get a bit more quiet and relish in the splendor of having diamonds for breakfast.
Oh Heather! These photos are amazing!!! And I love the thought of walking through the dew in the morning …I had sort of forgotten about dew……
Diamonds for Breakfast?
How simply wonderful, Heather.
Such a beautiful post and beautiful words – luxury is certainly all around us – nature is such an amazing gift …
Heather, you have a wonderful knack of truly seeing. The things that others would take for granted and not notice, while in their rushed existence, you observe and notice and wonder at, in close detail! You then shsare your gift for us to stop and appreciate also.
Gorgeous words and wonderful photography!
Cheers, Deb – Melbourne
So there was I, lost in the beauty of the morning diamonds, when I read the last line and laughed out loud.
Oh Heather, this is the most fabulous take on the topic – and further proof that you truly are a creature enchanting.
Beautiful morning to you Heather – dew drops are pretty special drops to see – love the images!!
Your space is inspiring to all of us so never feel like you are being sent to sleep – you are bringing us an amazing world!!! cheers!!
Very much enjoyed your perspective of luxury, a reminder that luxury is really all around us to discover sometimes in very unexpected places! Lovely post.
There are so many wonderful comments today, Heather, that I am simply writing this to agree, verify, and acknowledge what those before me have stated. You go Girl !
Aloha,
Bill

Heather…you write sooo beautifully! Love the word "wicking" around my ankles! And the idea of diamond sparkles…only the other day I was watching the sea bleached out pale by the sun so it looked like it was full of glitter rather than water…love to revel in the detail too!
(PS don't you just love the smell of freshly mown grass 😉 ?!!)
Yes, luxury can be just outside our doorsteps.Awareness of the wide space around us can reveal secrets- "the beauty of the world around”.
The curling greens with diamonds sparkling with all the glory.Beautiful photos.
