Hail to the Hive!
This has happened tome before, where I let outside schedules and hecticness get in the way of my creative outlet. Hectic?! on the Canals I hear you cry. Well let me tell you it has been. Traveling back and forth to the boat by train, jusggling 2 jobs and moving the boat on my off days. But on this evening, after a lovely BBQ by the canalside, the scenery made me pause and take a breath, take a moment and allow myself to get re centred.
I sat there gazing at it for a while sipping a post BBQ cold beer, reached for my camera,a nd started taking shots from different angles, noting the reflections and the signage of the boat, the line. I was lost in the moment and my creative spark was re lit.
I only thought it had been a week or 2 since my last post and was shocked that I'd allowed myself to be so consumed in the routine I was in that I had neglected this creative outlet for so long. Apologies to all you Hivers I connect with on here, I will do my best to not get too distracted again.
But it hammered home to me just why I love this platform. It's my favourite space for expression, for creativity and to just type things down and let my mind empty. It's a creative and cathartic space this platform that we share. It's possibilities are incredible.
So back I am after a month and it feels good. I have alot of travels to catchi you all up on since I last posted and our New Narrowboat 'Cygnet' has covered a considerable distance at it's breaknet speed of 3mph!!
This is indeed a reminder that it is important to stop once in a while, even mentally, and take stock of where you are, what is happening and how you feel. You might miss something very important!

Head in the clouds...
Head under water...
Could be either with that reflection.
was a lovely little moment. I love living like this for these moments. Great for pics too. Hope you are well buddy!
The same thing happens to me with work, but I try not to neglect this, because as you say it is a favorite space for expression and creativity :) It's a wonderful place with great shots, amazing reflections and a dramatic sky.
Have a great start of the week @scubahead friend!
Thanks @dimascastillo90. Glad I'm not alone in this. I always feel super bad when I allow this to happen.
It's normal, but we love being here, it's our favorite place, right? I hope I can continue enjoying your texts and your shots :)
Likewise! More to come shortly 😌
