Camping, and sitting around a fire beside water watching the sun set
|
Anywhere I can watch the sunset with my fiancee in my arms...heaven for sure!

It's developing.

:moonstars:Strawberry Creek Inn Bed and Breakfast, Idyllwild, CA I want to own this and turn it into an artist's retreat. :mohawk: http://images.vrbo.com/vrbo/images/1aaffc |
...in the pages of a really good book.
...the perfect parking space right in front of the perfect bench on a perfect section of the Edmonds waterfront overlooking the ferry dock. ...a little section of winding road that I drive on every few days that is lined with spring flowers and shaded by the branches of trees that overlap above. ...white twinkle lights on a warm summer night. ...lightning bugs in mason jars. ...home. |
Many places
There are many places I can go to feel this. A golf course for one, Key West, any beach with clear ocean water. But mainly my own back yard. One of my favorite places. ;)
|
In the water basking in the sunlight....so be it lake or ocean....as long as it is away from crowds and noise
|
There's no place like home....there's no place like home
My slice of heaven is at home a hundred year old rock and wood farm house...usually in my back yard which is two acres with a pond, peace and quiet...my own private sanctuary...when I am there its like being away from everything...I sit on my screened in back porch looking out at how beautiful it is and think how did I get so blessed to have this piece of heaven....ahhhhhh
|
The Tuilleries Gardens in Paris......this picture doesn't do it justice....(do they ever?)

On foreign soil, Stratford-upon-Avon, England, with a pastry and a real-deal cup of tea :)
Closer to home: Riverfront Park, at night with the tea lights twinkling, reflecting in the river. Indoors: the library down the street REAL close to home: sitting on my porch, looking out over the woods and listening to the rain. |
I was chastised for not adding Tuscany! :giggle:

Right at my feet...
...in the form of a white cottonball - my 8-month old Bichon Frise, 'Pinky'. She is my heart, my little love. :)
|
Another slice of heaven -
Spelunking - I've fallen in love with exploring caves. I spent some time in a couple of them this past summer - In Ohio and I'm thinking of taking the Wee One up to Virginia to see how she likes them. They are so cool and beautiful and just give me a sense of serenity when I am inside. |

The Cesar Chavez memorial solar calendar park area in Berkeley is a place I often go to meditate and view shore birds. It is a quiet and tranquil place.

well currently its been right here.. up in the mountains of NC.. and right here... behind the wheel of this blood red 2011 Challenger i'm driving. :police: but really, my ultimate slice is right here in my own little corner of southern sanity, where it's safe. right here at home. :) |
The ocean. I love the sound of it, the smell of it, the feeling I get when I am near it...it feeds my soul like few other things in this world can.
The mountains of upstate New York in autumn run a very close second. |
My slice of heaven is Cave Hill mountain which has the highest vantage point over the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland. In addition to views over Belfast, it's possible to see the western coast of Scotland.
http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/a...ssesgq/ch1.jpg http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/a...ssesgq/ch2.jpg Much like the city it watches over, the mountain has a long and sometimes sad history including the scene of ancient Celtic battles and the site of a significant amount of trauma during World War Two. Although the panoramic views of the city below and of Belfast Lough are beautiful, especially at dawn and dusk, there are more beautiful, more calming and more dramatic landscapes in the world. However, that's irrelevant to me. For me, this is the one that matters to me and I love how it towers over and protects my city. It's a part of my DNA. |
There are many, but the most powerful is believing in myself, believing I am worthy of my dreams. If I can find heaven in me, then I can share it. The frosting on top is having a partner that listens to my dreams and encourages me. Sprinkle with kindness and care and it's a heavenly recipe indeed........
