H is for….Hiatus
Definition: A pause or break in continuity in a sequence or activity (Oxford Dictionaries)
As we walked in a field of lavender, I could feel peace and harmony. The scent. The sight. Row upon row of beautiful blue/purple. But every so often, my eye would snag on a butterfly flitting from one flower stalk to another. Breaking the pattern. Drawing the eye.
As humans, we are pre-conditioned to seek out patterns. Anything that doesn’t fit, ensnares our attention. Helpful as hunters, for spotting the outline of our prey among the trees.
This time, the break in the pattern, gave me a chance to think. To wonder. Food for the soul, if not the belly.

That is simply beautiful, nature at it’s best #alphabetphoto
Never a more true word spoken. I find it so inspirational.
Goodness that is incredibly beautiful!
Thanks Lou. It’s from a bigger photo. Took about 5 seconds to take, but a whole lot longer to find the right crop. Still not sure.
What a beautiful photo 🙂 You are right about patterns I have never really given it much thought but now that I do I realise I am always looking for them, everywhere.
We do it mostly subconsciously. It would be perception overload otherwise. 🙂
Instinct. Sometimes I am thinking we are to mechanical but when we are in the middle of a field we get our instinct back. #alphabetphoto
I’d say it’s true of most natural settings. Room to think. 🙂
Beautiful photo, and very wise words x #alphabetphoto
Thanks, Sara.
Such a fabulous picture!!
Thanks, Steph. I was pleased with the colours.
A beautiful post and lovely words to go with it 😀
Thanks. Thought my “H” needed a little more explanation.
This is a stunning photo! I can feel the serenity of that lavender field. #alphabetphoto
Thanks, Tarana. There is a lovely balance in a lavender field.
A beautiful picture, and lovely to get out and admire nature.
Yes, it was full of life.
that is lovely and sharp and a very lovely capture
Thanks! You don’t get very many tries at taking photos of butterflies, I find. ‘Specially when they are busy and not in the mood for posing.
What a beautiful shot cant get more spring/ summer if you tried.
Too true. Too true.
Equally beautiful words for a stunning image. What a beautiful H
Thanks, Kizzy. Lavender always seems to make an impact. Colour is so vibrant.
