I love photographing nature and other things that make me come alive! Photography is a hobby I enjoy, and would love to share my photos with you to show how simple things can bring you joy!
So what little treat can do the trick for you?
Here are ten simple things that bring me endless joy and contentment.
 |
|
| Capturing a magical moment through my camera lens brings such delight to my day. I love photographing butterflies, beaches, rainbows and LIFE! Although there are times the picture does not paint what I see, there are those rare moments when I get lucky and capture that perfect picture. | |
 |
|
| A frothy cappuccino is my favorite morning routine while I tweet to the world and catch up on my news. | |
 |
|
| Savoring a glass of wine while enjoying my own thoughts or the company of good friends and family is a treasure. | |
 |
|
| Walking in nature or in a quiet garden makes my soul bubble with gratitude! | |
 |
|
| Watching magical clouds go by while appreciating LIFE with enthusiasm empowers me. | |
 |
|
| Vibrant colors in nature brings a big SMILE to my face. | |
|
|
|
| Smiles and laughter with friends reminds me that LIFE is wonderful! | |
 |
|
| Serenity and tranquility reenergizes me and brings me peace and reflection. | |
|

|
| Memories of my golden retriever, Emma bring me comfort and warmth. | |
 |
|
| Being at the beach makes me childlike and thrilled to be ALIVE! | |

CLOUDS! That one really made me smile. I’m always stopping to appreciate a beautiful cloud, and have taken so many cloud photos over the years that mean nothing to anyone else but me.
Lovely to see a fellow cloud lover out there…
Life is so wonderful. We gotta enjoy every moment of it. You really rock it! Awesome job

Yes it is the simple things in life that bring us joy. I often think of when my and my husband were first married and lived in our first small house. Looking back, life was so simple… it is a time we cherish!
Beautiful view of the world through your lens of joy and beauty Ann. I love this post. You inspire me so much with your photography and fabulous attitude.
Positively,

Such a cute doggy! I like the fact that you appreciate the simple things, a lot of people forget about them 🙂
That’s what I call it the power of simplicity. Thank you for sharing.

Great post Ann. I love the pictures 🙂 Is that you attached to that parachute? Amazing.
My list would be:
Running very early in the morning before people are out, nature walks, coffee, and insane servings of Italian food.
I now want to add the cappuccino in that image to my list 🙂
