Some Beautiful Moments Frozen In Camera

 

Hello Beautiful Souls!

Hope blooming in the September with all your light and beauty❤️


We are fine and waiting for cool days . Temperatures are still spinning around from 30 to 38 in the duration of  24 hours. 

Having guests often , hot weather and house chores occupy most of my time .Actually there is a wedding coming in the family and having more guests is part of it. So today when i looked at my blog i was already late for post .I was lacking idea to write about so sharing few images from our recent trip to Islamabad few glimpse of northern beauty we witnessed ,hope you will find them interesting. 


during our four days stay in the hotel we took walks often in the city and surroundings as much as we could, as breathtaking views were so compelling. This very vibrant and pretty photo was taken during one of our walk. while scrolling city shops we passed by some restaurant building ,these delightful bunch of sunflowers was adding beauty in the view .Hubby felt this appeal first and asked me to take photo as his phone was in my hands already for this purpose. I took two shots .hubby asked a man sitting close to the main gate if we can grab dry flowers for having seeds .Man allowed and hubby plucked few dry flowers. I wrapped them in tissue and kept inside my handbag . We will see if they can grow when season comes in November 🤞This is for you who love September 's flavour of autumn and sunflower :)

  
this is taken during one of our such walks in opposite direction from the city,The surroundings were packed with heavenly and relaxing views. Scenes spread everywhere were awesome and if it was in my hand i could stay and glance at them for so long tirelessly 🥹🥹🥹 When we reached at this point we noticed voice of rushing water .Hubby and me decided to get inside this area just to check if we can locate water . As we entered we were on big roof where a car was parked at side,as we got on the edge of the roof we saw flowing water (image below)

while we felt stunned by the beauty of flowing river a lady in her mid thirties appeared suddenly and said words of greeting smilingly ,at first we felt bit nervous because we did not know there must be someone ,but her friendly behaviour and sweet smile relieved us .we took two shots and left by saying goodbye which she responded with warm smile once again. In my entire i wished for finding people who are warm and greet whole halfheartedly regardless of cast ,gender or any other reason. We noticed that the people living there were as similar in their warm behaviour and level of honesty as they were trained ethically from early age .I found it so uplifting and impressive .According to my knowledge here
the Ismaili community is ingrained basic value of goodness , true love of God and faith instead just shallow practice of religion which makes them love and respect everyone without any discrimination.Can't define how much sooth this delvers to my heart and i wish we all follow such golden rules so life on planet can flourish as Creator wanted it ! 

On our attempt to enter this area our middle son tried to stopped us and when we did not listen he  stayed behind on the road . He said entering there is violation of property 's privacy .  i truly love him for this gesture and respect him for his  loyalty with  rules and regulations.But honestly, we thought that who can be on the barren roof ? we assumed that someone parked the car there due to lack of parking area and even though place was walled with tins, there were open spaces here and there . you can see how annoyed he looks :) later when we told him that nothing bad happened he still took while to behave normal . I felt proud as a mom though🥹

  these two pictures are taken on the day we spent visiting different tourists points. We found each one better than other ! Such mesmerising views seemed beyond our dreams even ❤️🥹our driver plus guide took many shots of children and hubby and each looks master piece to me even if was taken through phones Samsung and iPhone 


i realised that timing and lighting  make huge difference when we take photos ,for example pictures taken in morning and evening times or cloudy days come so fine ,this was late afternoon and it was less than hour to sunset ,still sunlight does not spoiled the images thankfully!

on return when our middle son left for university ,after few days,  we visited Pakistan Monument that is mostly packed with visitors ,the gorgeous architecture that opens up like a beautiful flower shines amazingly in night lighting set very thoughtfully ! it was nice and warm evening but due to elevation park environment was cool ans pleasant 

we missed our middle son ,though our younger son kept us amused and smiled throughout the visit ,while writing this my heart is missing him more as he too has gone far to study in university !!!🥹❤️

The row of hills you see behind pass through my little village dear friends ,so i searched a less crowded corner and stood there to take a look of these beautiful hills who seem to whisper to my heart that "they miss me too" 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹


With all the bundle of health issues i don't know how life will layout in future ,but i try not to waste my time in thinking about things beyond my control . i have tried to live in the moment i have in my hands and i believe this is the best way to do life !

Thank you soooo much from the bottom of my heart dear friends for keeping touch and leaving encouraging words ! They bring me strength and hope to have such kind and sweet friends to whom i can share my thoughts always ! 🙏❤️🥹

Health <peace and Happiness to you all and to all you love 🙏❤️

See you soon!

  2. Your photos are beautiful, dear heart. Middle Son does look annoyed! I remember how sad I was when my children left to go to school so I understand how much you miss your younger son. Perhaps you'll be able to visit him at university or he'll be able to visit you at home sometimes? I hope so.

    Love,
    Janie

  5. Children grow up so fast, Baili, and your sons are going to have such adventures which they will share with you as they already have been doing. I hope you will be feeling better day-by-day. The photos of you and your husband were lovely and showed that you have a special bond.

  6. Saving those sunflower seeds to plant back home in November is such a sweet memory from your trip to Islamabad. Your middle son showed so much character standing up for privacy rules, so you have every reason to feel proud of him. Choosing to embrace the present and hold onto these warm family moments is really the most beautiful way to live.

  9. Let's hope the seed germinate for you when the time comes. It's still rather warm there must be humid too Baili. Gorgeous scenery and the mountains are amazing, must be very beautiful to see in person. The photos are lovely, all of them and you keep smiling.

    1. dear Margaret ! thanks for your kind words
      yes it's 38 C right now 4 pm , so weather is still hot and humid ,one can't stay in sunlight more than few seconds .
      glad you enjoyed views i shared . it was lovely to know that our northern areas have splendid and breathtaking beauty .only sad thing that authorities hardly pay attention to arrange better ways and facilities for the tourists which keeps our country's tourism down :((( i wonder why ??

  10. Hello my dear friend. You have no idea how much I enjoy seeing your trips with your sons. They are all very handsome and you and your husband make a lovely couple. I can see where your middle son was coming from and his frustration. I'm glad nothing bad happened. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful trip.

    1. heartfelt thanks for your so generous sweet words dear Nichole !
      you indeed are incredibly kind person 🥹

      o no we were very alert and cautious before entering the rooftop ,it looked absolutely abandoned and we had not a slightest doubt there can be somebody. the lady we found there was talking to someone on her phone and i assume she too thought the place is barren and no one will be around . it was matter of hardly few minutes we glanced at the river below took two shots and returned .our son know us well that we are not rule breaker at all and it wasn't some big or serious thing at all

  12. Such beautiful photos of a beautiful area. I'm happy you were able to relax there for a time with your family before some go off to university. The photo of flowers really does remind me of our autumn due to the beautiful colours. Thanks for sharing them. Yes, I see your middle son looks annoyed. I'm proud of him for sticking to his morals so I know you must be a proud mama too.

  13. This was lovely to spend time with you as I read your post. The Pakistan Monument looks like a beautiful flower, perhaps a lily. I can see you enjoy family time with your husband and sons. I hope you are well, you mention health situations. You are right to concentrate on good things.
