Heaven

And it was.  I’m sure that Koh Samui is as close to heaven as I’ve ever physically been.  Each day was more than wonderful.  Perfect tropical weather, sunshine, sand like golden powder, and the clearest water to paddle my feet in during long morning beach walks.  I watched Sophia’s joy as she splashed about in the pool, with the company of my husband and the sun on my back.  I felt so grounded and so myself, while my spirit flew high into the sky.  An amazing feeling, being in such a beautiful place with the people I love most on earth.  It was our third visit, and certainly won’t be our last.  These photos of my lovely Miss Sophia embody the feeling I know we all had.

Freedom.  And happiness.

Heaven.

    Such a delight. These pics really capture that holiday feeling but I must say nearly all your photos have that light airy feel about them and make it seem as though you are always surrounded by sunshine even though you live in Melbourne.

    […] you may remember my image from our trip to Thailand last year (blogged here).  I am so thankful that it was chosen, as it’s one of my most favourite of all – for […]
