Sun prints

July is full of journeys. Journeys with a beginner mind. These journeys are physical, spiritual and inspirational. It is time of going home, sharing moments with my family, sketching, cycling, warming in the sun, watching sunsets, making my first batch of shampoo and peach conserve. All these little things become moments of pure happiness and gratitude.  These are also journeys of steeping back into the past and looking at myself with love and acceptance.
My first sun prints:

Happy faces in sunny Poland

Gratitude list from Poland:

red squirrels
soft street lights in the night during cycling
family photo album
Karolina

Summer

I hope you all having nice and happy summer. I am taking little summer break. I am heading home and then back to Scotland to go camping up North. My other summer plans are: rest, slow down, enjoy every day, do yoga, pick new inspirations, making pickles and jellies and focus my thoughts on love.
My gratitude list:
cats
sitting with my mum in the garden
botanics with mum
cooking dinner
reading 'Earth Medicine'
making my first pickled cucumbers
