spend more time relaxing in my garden

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, and great company followed by a relaxing nap… Life is good in my garden :)

Early in the morning, I make myself a cup of coffee, and some days I walk around my garden assessing it while relaxing and taking in the morning fragrances.

This poor bug landed in my recently-done coffee and found an ill fate:

...I’m relaxing in my garden as I’m typing this :)

And, of course, Uma is next to me enjoying the shade and the slight breeze while she’s attentive to the neighbor’s dogs.

I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon on a blanket writing down some quotes from “The Secret”. Of course, Uma lay there with me before I took her for her daily walk.

Today was a nice day to spend in the garden with pups all over the place. They’re so energetic and so much fun that I wanted to take the opportunity to photograph them.

This is the first time I do a photo shoot of puppies. Due to my limited equipment —a zoom that only shoots at 300mm, f/5.6, and manual focus— and subjects that wouldn’t be still, most came out blurred or out of focus :( But a few of them came out OK, but just five or six were good enough. I might need to arrange a new photo shoot with my neighbors based on today’s experience.

• Drink coffee in the mornings while I walk around it inspecting it
• Lay down on a blanket with Uma and reading a book
• Get a grill and cook outside
• Have a tea in the afternoon
• Hang a hammock and take a nap
• Do myself a manicure
• Take my laptop and connect to 43Things ;)
