Lens-Artists Challenge #52 – Serenity
The theme from Tina for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is: Serenity.
These are a few of my favorite places of calmness, peacefulness and serenity.
Chinese Garden, The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens. Los Angeles, California, USA
Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform. – Pythagoras
Moulton Falls Regional Park, Washington, USA
The waters are in motion, but the moon retains its serenity. – D.T. Suzuki
Maui, Hawaii, USA
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity. – Nhat Hanh
Newport Beach, California, USA
Peace is the simplicity of heart, serenity of mind, tranquility of soul, the bond of love. – Pio of Pietrelcina

I use that word to say “imprisoned” in hospital as I got to have surgery again. 😅

Oh no, I hope it’s not serious and the surgery will go well and you’ll have a speedy recovery. I had 12 surgeries so far! 🙂

Beautiful photos that especially convey peace and serenity, and I love the quotes, too, especially the one from Thict Nhat Hanh. I’ve read two of his books to great personal benefit. Blessings to you!
