This, that and the other thing

In our busy lives, it’s always good to claim time to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate. That gives us the opportunity to think, or not, things the speed of life, social media, and doom scrolling steal from us daily. But not just people need time to relax, as you’ll see in some of these photos in response to Anne’s Lens Artists Challenge for this week. I relaxed so much (or was so busy) that I almost didn’t get my entry in. 🙂

This first one is for Tina, because she loved it so much the first time I posted it. Relaxing in Wyoming wildflowers high in the Bighorn Mountains is my idea of time off, too.

My sister-in-law and I spent some lovely afternoons in France just “being.” In case you’re wondering, “being” while sipping bubbly with mirabelles is even better than simply “being” alone.

You’d be quackers not to rest when the chance presents itself!

Ben Franklin relaxing in Philadelphia on the campus of Penn University. Reading is one of my favorite ways to relax.

If too many others are trying to relax, it can be a problem!

And sometimes, even though it might not look relaxing, it is. I hope you’re able to relax this weekend, off all your devices, and take time to just “be.”
