A sweet visual surprise. I'm smiling. One pauses, enjoys and continues along, refreshed by the encounter.

This rather open seascape softens boundaries, inviting one to relax into a waking dream, loosen expectations and idle in the quiet moments that follow. Is it my imagination, a visual trick, or do I see the very slightest hint of pink/purple? Whatever, this image certainly works for me.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

Extremely pretty, misty and moody. There's something so appealing about gathered dabs of color, in nature and otherwise. My only quibble, and entirely subjective, is the presence of the background structure in the upper right. It draws the eye away from the central focus.

Water generously offers endless wondrous reflections that draw one in and invite reverie. The busy world drops away, leaving time to quietly delight in the movement, the flickering forms and colors. Leaving out color in this black and white allows appreciation of form and implicit movement. The composition is quirky but balanced. A handsome study.

The sun seems to have found its way through the gloom to highlight these cows in a small pasture. Nice quiet moment.

The Quiet Motion

The solidity and seeming permanence of mountains induce quiet confidence, which in turn can lead to a sense of inner quiet. This particular mountain is indeed imposing. It's portrayed with winning delicacy, and gathers light with uplifting brilliance on its receptive flanks. The clouds, too, are lovely. An impressive image.

The text seems to be a sentiment drawn out of her self-possessed bearing, the wisdom of acceptance. This seemingly simple image is an offering of depth and beauty.

A beautiful, creamy confection that could well be a mandala to pacify our monkey mind.

A child engrossed by nature is certainly at peace, which hopefully carries forward throughout his life.

"Be quiet now, and still. Be unafraid"

Peaceful scene, beautiful colors. The ocean is fronted by these passageways through salt marsh or sandbars that mediate the transition from solid land and calm the force of nature a bit. The slender trees, with their reflections and strange signs or boxes, offer a surrealistic touch. I also enjoy the disposition of the ruffled water in the fore- and middle-ground.
