Agapanthus
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #108 is ‘Sanctuary’.
The backyard is the sanctuary, being not too big but full with Agapanthus, who particular enjoy this Summer season. The flowers are a sanctuary for bees, buzzing over from the neighbor’s hives.

Sometimes you have to go elsewhere to find a sanctuary. New horizons.

Sky
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #108 is ‘Sanctuary’.
As a kid I liked to look up at the clouds in the sky, dreaming away with the shapes. And sometimes had the feeling that the sky was not up there but down. Peter Gabriel wrote a beautiful song about it, Downside Up.

Corona times give another dimension to life, and the need to take regular stay-cations, or do things differently. In this case working with my hand instead of working with my head. The backyard is the sanctuary, being not too big but full with flowers, among them roses. The flowers are a sanctuary for bees, buzzing over from the neighbor’s hives.

Agapanthus Sanctuary
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #108 is ‘Sanctuary’.
I have not participated in the LAP for a few weeks due to DIY at home. Corona times give another dimension to life, and the need to take regular stay-cations, or do things differently. In this case working with my hand instead of working with my head. The backyard is the sanctuary, being not too big but full with Agapanthus, who particular enjoy this Summer season.

Walking on water is difficult, but if you are afraid to fall (and get wet) you will never learn.

First congratulations and big thanks to Tina, Ann- Christine, Amy and Patti, for starting this weekly challenge after the WordPress WPC stopped.
The present state of the world and us living on it is far from ideal. By acknowledging this and embrace it, we can start to take steps. Racism, global warming, privilege, hunger, economic greed, poverty all have to do with our behaviour as people. So we can change it. That is a long and winding road. And it will never be perfect or ideal.
When all you can see is dark, the heart sinks. But there is always light, powerful light. One little shimmer can spark change and lighten up our lives. Embrace sparks, encourage them to glow and burn.
