Postcards from Paradise: Play

Postcards from Paradise

I don't know why these moments



caught my attention



or why I wanted to alter reality.



But play is my paradise. . . .


and so is this post by Lisa
at Curious Girl 
and this post by Noelle
at The Angels Wear Fins 

that I hope will inspire you
because we create paradise right here,
right now
when we act with intent
to touch the lives of others with love.






what's paradise for you?

I too like to alter reality with camera effect, but it IS play! When I see the anthuriums I remember my beloved Maui and miss it so much, but truly paradise is right here and not away somewhere...xoO

Meri,
I love all of your photographs, when you play, when you are serious and when you are tender. You color my world in interesting and wonderful ways and I always appreciate your perspective on the beauty that life has to offer. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in raising the offerings of others to the light. I am grateful!
xoxo,
Noelle

A quiet pub, a cool pint and a good book - all at the same time.

Paradise...visually appealing, peaceful, and a place or experience which captures the moment deeply in my soul. I have just written about sailing, which can be very close to my paradise:).

Great post Meri, love the intense colors. Play seems to me to be anything done without too much thinking or planning, if we let it, it comes naturally. And we end up delighted and feeling good!
Play, play, play!!

I like your definition of paradise best...act with intention. I took a boat ride thru a bayou in Louisiana once and saw scores of flamingos. Amazing creatures, yes, but who would really put them in their yard? :) Yes...the good old days of the 70's.
