To be still...it's a skill I have lost over the last few years.  As I luxuriated on Saturday getting a massage and a facial (the best Mother's Day gift ever!) I realized that I was having a hard time not moving. Some busyness comes from a busy life, but some, really, truly, is self-imposed. It seems counterintuitive to make "being still" a goal, or part of a "to do" list, but it's on my summer list none the less.  Enjoy all kinds of macro goodness over at Studio Waterstone.

  6. A terrific goal to be sure and one, I'm sure, that we all need to do more often. I find it impossible to be still - something my husband swears is true! Absolutely love picture, btw!

  7. My mother always asks me when she visits, "don't you ever sit still?" That's what i like about this macro sunday, it makes me slow down a little, love the stillness of the leaf
