Hello dear friends!
Hope and pray that inspite of all weather 's harshness you all have found the ways to make your daily life interesting and beautiful. It could be a reading for which you been waiting so long to find the opportunity to hold yourself inside the house and read your favorite selected one in complete relaxation and devotion.
Or any kind of art work which delivers to your restless heart peace and throw away the anxiety brought by grey ,gloomy surroundings Like painting ,knitting ,needle work ,sewing etc...
It also can be a gatherings on tea ,coffee or tasty hot dishes that go good with weather and bring some warmth to blood along with lovely conversations!
Writing is also a hobby which springs up in such times most strongly because our brain take inspiration from the environment and state of our mood help it to dig more deeply through imagination and fantasy.
To me Photography is one of the best way to preserve the moments in their pure and beautiful manner.Though i am still waiting for the better camera but feel happy for those who have in hands and are able to captivate the serenity of nature artistically during this season.
Dear Friends today i am sharing some photos of our summer vacations when we had lots of fun by visiting different fun places but what made me to post about it today is the memories of meetings with my friends in my native land and endless chats most of which was about our school days memories .hope you will like them .
This picture was taken in summer vacation when i pend almost fifteen days in this my[ late] parents house with my elder [eight years elder than me] brother and his family ,on right wife of my brother ,her sister with her baby girl next to her, and her cousin beside me in pink ,[the 17 year old son of that lady fell don from the roof during his mason job one month ago and broke his legs ,great loss ,we went to console for this .
My native village gets often rains unlike my husband's city where we get very lsess and slight rains and very rare. after taking this pic it rained heavily and stormy .during these few days we enjoyed many lovely rainy days there .
After rain stopped my younger son took many shots of greenery around and few of us too, whenever i be there i miss my parents deeply and my childhood memories hold my soul strong .my internal world would be quite different than internal one.
I feel though i visit many places but my soul stay connected to my this house where i grew up watching these lovely views which made me a poet and writer ,
It was July and inspite of rain days were quite hot when son appeared yet we decided to visit Nathia Gali a hill station tow hours away from my village .In winters its higher hills hide under thick layers of snow and summers stay mild.people come here to enjoy the nature's beauty throughout the year,though it was fasting month of Ramadan still it was rushy there.
tourists were enjoying the views from the height by parking their vehicles on roadside
Whole way until we reached to the peak was treat to eyes and soul ! two hours of this beautiful journey extend to more than four when we stpped so many times to enjoy the views.
I loved looking at these curves and paths of hills that gradually become higher and higher when one continue his travel to northern areas .
No matter how up one goes hills are populated and i saw animals and children running over the hard tops with no difficulty . How right that everything learn to survive according to it's environment.
We had no fast so found a small park to sit and eat our lunch that we took along[due to fasting month during the day one cannot anything to eat outside,hotels open from evening till late night.
The highest point of hill station where i felt dizzy while watching looking down ,due to sun
shine is sharp photo is unable to display the whole beauty of this view .
Hope you enjoyed this post dear friends!
In our near hilly area it is snowing since week so we are also having very cold weather .Since my fingers are freezing while running on keyboard and i have to make lunch so signing off now .
wishing each of you a safe ,happy weekend and weekdays .
love yourself as this will make you love everything around you .stay positive .
God bless you all.

ReplyDeleteit's been SO COLD where i'm from.
my college has cancelled about a week of classes. not preferred, but i've been using the extra time to, you know, blog ;)
many blessings to you, dear baili!
love,

Hello Baili, I did enjoy seeing your journey. I can understand how you might feel when those memories of your childhood days emerge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery along the way.
Thank you for your lovely post. Cheerio for now :D)
I enjoy the journeys you take me on, baili. Those mountains are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the rains, those skies look full of memories soaked up by the sun. thank you for sharing this trip.. lovely to travel through your memories with you. I also love the patterns and the colours in the cloth you women are wearing in the first photograph.. very very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos baili. Northern Spain is also snowing heavily. In Béjar no, it is very cold, last night we had -6º. Cute family photos
ReplyDeleteGood week.
Besos.
Some of those shots made me dizzy as well.
ReplyDeleteHow enjoyable your writings are. I love that you share so much with us. By the way, the dress you are wearing when you are standing in the greenery with the woman in white is exquisite. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely summer photos!
ReplyDeleteyour place is very interesting but so different from Europe
ReplyDeleteInteresting post my dear, thank you for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your lovely photos, Baili! Like you, I think photography is a wonderful way to preserve all sorts of memories and moments. Even the simplest camera can take photos that help you remember. I enjoyed seeing the photos of your family, and I understand the pull that home always has on your heart. The older we get, the stronger the pull of home becomes. I miss my parents every day. I hope that the seventeen year old boy who fell down from the roof and broke his legs is recovering well.
ReplyDeleteYour hill country is magnificent! I have struggled with capturing the beauty of our mountains in Colorado because of the interaction of my camera with the sun. I'd get a better camera that might capture the scenery more accurately, but I have to have a camera that is simple and works quickly. I haven't the patience to play around with lenses and tripods and filters. Candid Camera is me!
Sending you God's blessings along with big hugs and love! Thanks for sharing your beautiful country and culture. So often the things we hear about Pakistan in the USA are distorted and ugly. It's important for people to learn and understand that people around the world really aren't that different and that most of us are doing the best we can to love and care for the people around us.
Fantastic photos, Baili. Great familiar scenery brings back the lovely family memories.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and rest of the week.
Thank you for making me a part of your event. Enjoyed the group pictures. The landscape was amazing.
ReplyDeleteBaili, your photos are so beautiful! This brings back some great childhood memories for me. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful region! Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. I know just what you mean when you say your soul stays connected with your childhood home.
ReplyDeleteI hope your weather warms up to a comfortable temperature. It is cold here, too :)
It is such a beautiful area! I really love when you share these types of photos. I enjoy getting a glimpse into your lovely world!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and particularly like the one of you and your sister in law.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to have a loving family.
I like your mountains and a good heavy downpour always clears the air.
ReplyDeleteMerle............
Beautiful pictures have the features to calm down turmoils of the mind.Really lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures with full of memories or infect unforgettable memories...
ReplyDeleteBom dia, maravilhosas fotos das suas belas ferias, as pessoas que estão nas fotos são lindas.

ReplyDeleteLovely photos and memories in this and your previous post.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely family adventures you have together :-)
Hi Baili, these photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are a lovely person who, as I, loves family and miss those who are no longer with us. Going home is hard. It stirs the embers of forgotten memories which brings joy and tears and are so very precious~
Have a Lovely Day,
Jan
it is very true my friend!
Deletevisiting native home brings plenty of mixed feeling ,wandering care freely in fields and gardens !
picking up fruits from under the tree fell by wind !
swinging and swimming with friends and playing with dolls and wood carts rids !
but along with it bring the echo of the loving sweet calling of our names when parents called us ,hold us ,pampered us,
can anyone else in this whole world can give such warmth of love and care the our parents did?
Oh how I love your beautiful pictures...and thank you so much for making feel I've been there with you.
ReplyDeleteGosh, such wonderful, happy memories!
Big Hugs xoxoxo
Such a lovely post my dear friend! Great ideas you have shared to pass the winter dreary months, and such a lovely touch of hope for summer with your summer vacation pictures! What a wonderful trip up the mountains your family had! We have taken such trips too, where a short drive turns into a very long one because the beauty and the views are so amazing! I loved the picture of your family enjoying a picnic because you had prepared knowing there would be no restaurants open. I'm so sorry to hear of the young man who broke his legs, oh my, how awful. Is he doing okay?
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful to have connected with you, for our friendship across the many miles, and pray the precious blessings of the Lord on your life today :)
My dear friend ! i am so lucky to have a loving friend like you in this wonderful world of blogging!
Deletei feel so grateful to have such kindness and warmth of emotions from you .
Thank you so much for reading me ans for such beautiful response .
God bless you my friend always .amen.
that boy is better now as i heard that he has got an iron rod in his upper legs and can walk though not with ease .
Hope in future he gets even better .thank you for concern dear friend.
Hello Baili,
