I thought this Tuesday might be a good opportunity to look at the everyday with some fresh eyes again. Life isn’t always an exotic destination or a picture perfect sunset on snow-covered mountains. It doesn’t even always exactly seem beautiful, but, then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I’m sharing a few shots this TT, with glimpses of the every day magic that is outside my door. A lot of it is probably outside yours, too. You might have to do some travelling to see the magic here — but why not try appreciating the magic right where you are?
All these shots were taken in our neighbourhood here in Gordon’s Bay.
So Happy Tuesday! Enjoy the magic! {And look for it!}
A neighbour’s dog says hi.
We bought a car seat on Gum Tree but it wasn’t the one we thought it was, so HH took pictures to put it on Gum Tree again before we decided to keep it anyway.
Some of our everyday magic is happening in the kitchen these days, where I am baking like I’m getting paid. {Seriously, on top of the usual daily cooking, I must’ve baked ten things in the past five days, including two cakes.}
More neighbourhood creatures hoping for appreciation…
Or hoping to be left alone:
By the way, did you see what was happening with that seagull? Who’s pinching whom?
And, of course, a personal favourite from life these days for last. I want this wagtail’s portrait on a wall somewhere!
Sometimes we just need to take the time to look for beauty in order to find it, every day.

I create resources to help people find deeper, more meaningful relationships with God through pursuing, pondering, and prayer. The "Shop" link above will take you to the home of many of the lovely resources I’ve created to help you keep walking one day deeper with Jesus.
Love this idea for traveling tuesday! fun to see glimpses of your everyday reality. 🙂
Yay! I’m glad you like it!
Have you cut your hair? Love the pics and you look great!!!
Thanks! I just had it pulled back in braids and tucked up — I do that sometimes after I wash it because it stays wet (and keeps me cool) for a long time! 🙂 xoxo
Would you look at that seagull!!! and its crab… Isn’t it true home is sometimes the best spot to be in!!!
Definitely! 🙂 We are so glad to be back in our own place getting ready for the new addition!
Is that a haircut????? Super cute!
No haircut here! I just pull it back with a couple of braids after washing and it stays wet and keeps me cool. Hot pregnant lady coming through. And then when I take the braids out it’s wavy, which is kind of fun and different. 🙂 Thanks for the love!
