Six word Saturday

To be at peace with myself.

Like those clouds, i'm going to let it all drift away

Like those clouds, I’d like to let it all just drift away

How quickly a week passes!  After last week’s funk and all your kind wishes, I’m resolved to stop skittering about and simply enjoy what comes my way.

I love clouds!  Except, of course, when I’m bumping down through them on an aircraft, but that’s a different story. I’m only two weeks away from my next visit to the Algarve, and the tingle of excitement is there already.  Before that I have a couple of days in London, so peace will not come so easily.  The buzz of the city will surround me.

I have lots of cloud photos! These were snatched from the car

I have so many cloud photos!  These were snatched from the car

These too!

These too!

So many times I’ve watched the sun come up through my front window and set again in the evening, behind my home.  The peace and wonder of it all envelopes me, and I love it.

That first glimmer of sunlight

That first glimmer of sunlight

And the last curtain fall

Till the last curtain fall

And set behind the house

Just beautiful, isn’t it?

Wishing you all peace this weekend.  I may post for Six Word Saturday next week, but I’ll be in transit so my response will be slow.  In any case, the world will keep on turning.  I hadn’t seen the Daily Post challenge when I posted this, but really- what could be more serene?

Please don’t forget to share your week with Cate at Show My Face, and maybe join me for a walk on Monday?  I’ll look forward to it.

  1. A fellow cloud snapper! I live high up in a loft overlooking the sea on the south coast, and right now I’m watching the clouds pass my window. I’m in easy reach of London and go there specially to capture the bustle and pace of which quiet of the coast starves me. Enjoy London, enjoy the Algarve, enjoy those clouds!

    1. Fantastic split sky this morning, Keith, and the sun just breaking through onto hard frost. I rather envy you that loft. My front window view is rather mundane, but the Algarve rooftop, much better 🙂 Many thanks!

  5. There really is something about clouds. Even big, black, angry storm clouds are compelling. Your clouds are fantastic!
    I will never get over someone being able to just pop over to another country with a completely different language and culture for a weekend away. [shakes head]

    1. Well, I’ll be in the Algarve for 2 weeks so you’ll have a lovely little spell of peace and quiet from me. It’s a win, win situation 🙂 But the London madness is a very quick turnaround. I may survive 🙂

      1. Excuse me! I shall be expecting opportunities to be vicariously in Portugal. You can’t go there and leave me behind. We spent 5 days in Lisbon in 2013 and I fell in love. Portugal is very high on my bucket list.

    1. I very much like the header too, Meg, though it won’t go with many of my other posts. A regular problem with headers 🙂
      Yes, I think I’m about due for the Algarve’s soothing balm. I’d be fooling myself if I said that peacefulness comes naturally 🙂

  13. I love clouds too …. *smile – you could enter this post to this weeks photo challenge – Serenity – perfect.
    Beautiful image and post. I hope you get really buzzing days in London, because that is what London should give you. Delight yourself … and just enjoy the buzz.

    1. I’m channeling my inner ‘serenity’, Vivi 🙂 It’s been hard to come by lately. I guess I should have looked at the challenge first, but ‘what will be, will be’. Many smiles… 🙂 🙂

  18. Great six-word phrase! Love your cloud photographs – I never tire of gazing up and watching them changes before my eyes. Have a wonderful trip to London and then onto Algarve – sounds like your are going to be one busy, happy woman!
