  1. Hi Paula, the music is beautiful and the picture made me think of my childhood and the space heater that warmed our house. We would sit in front of it and watch the flame flicker and listen to the little sounds the heater made, all warm and cozy as the snow drifted outside the door. A happy memory.

      1. Thanks Paula and thanks for the comments on my post, I appreciate your feedback and that you’re sharing your thoughts.
        I’m surprised to see so many feet this Thursday, while in my photo people can’t even stay on their feet! 🙂
        Have a wonderful Thursday. I’m looking forward to see your mystery post tomorrow. After a lot of thinking and partly inspired by the mythology that we were talking about, I managed to Photoshop my way into an ancient mystery.

  7. The warm and welcoming light that radiates from this stunning photo is such a wonderful way to start another grey Thursday of November. Have I told you your choices of music are always spot on, Paula? They are! 🙂

    1. 🙂 I feel warmer when I know that my post has resonated with someone. I am also happy you took time to listen to this song which is absolutely beautiful to me and which I chose in particular to accompany this year old photo that is also very special to me. As I said on your page, the scene in your photo goes beyond the captured moment and it is more than skin-deep. Thank you, Ese!

  15. Makes me think of the expression “like a moth to a flame”. Looking at the beautiful colours you have captured, I can see why moths are attracted to the light.
    This week I share with you something that does bring warmth 🙂
