This week, Patti is challenging us to capture A Quiet Moment. ” Maybe it’s a walk early in the morning or the time you sit down with a book and a cup of coffee. Include shots captured at home or in your neighborhood, or from a trip to a faraway place months or years ago. It’s totally up to you.”
As my Internet connection has been lost for some days, and I don’t know when it comes back, I am sending from my phone. Hopefully it will work anyway. I apologize for the post being a bit thin because of this situation – and not being able to comment on others’ posts until afterwards, but hope you will enjoy anyway. I am having quiet moments in more than a Midsummer way…
A forest exhibition at Wanås – old, embroidered linen in the silent trees.
My daughter in quiet contemplation over the summer night.
Even flowers have their quiet moments…
And you don’t have to be alone – you can be quiet together.
As always, thank you for your wonderful support of our challenges, and don’t forget to use our Lens-Artists tag to make people find you in the reader!
Stay well and safe – and treasure the quiet moments given to you.

A-c, lovely entry as always … I was going to use the sheet images too, so I have to give it another think. *smile – thanks for a brilliant day.
Thank YOu, Viveka. I haven’t posted on it until today!
I have started to work through the images … from our day, but that is so far I have come. I decide to take another route .. as you notice.
As always, Ann-Christine, some excellent choices for the challenge. What an unusual and creative way to exhibit the linen. It looks very still and peaceful. All images beautifully captured.
Thank you, Sue. I loved that exhibition!
Wonderful 👏
Must be the first time your daughter is quiet 🙂 Just to reiterate the obvious, joking, poor joke in fact. A colleague of mine said this weekend that her three year old doesn’t even come up for air, she talks the whole time. We are still working from home so it must be a challenge having small children.The wanas is certainly something unseen by me and my favourite capture
A real challenge staying in lockdown with several small children…that way we are fortunate!
Daisies and linnen drying outside takes me back to midsummers as a child. Lovely collection Leya.
Thank you very much, Janaline. Midsummers bring many memories!
A wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful post, AC! I love the old linen exhibition. What a wonderful idea. And equally lovely–your daughter in a moment of quiet contemplation. 😊😊
Thank you so much, Patti! ♥
Beautiful images and I feel more relaxed after enjoying them. They really ”show” the quiet. The linens are amazing – the way they are placed and reflect the light. Great job posting from your phone too 🙂
So grateful I managed this post – and that you enjoyed it too! I loved the linens.
Very special images 😊
Wonderful to see the scenic serenity of that lake, with the cloud lines radiating into the distance. Love the special, quiet moment with your daughter. Have a lovely day, Ann-Christine. ❤
You are very kind, Olga – thank you. Hope your week is lovely too!
Ah, Michael beat me to the Christo reference. I’d love to spend a quiet moment or two in that first image.
Mmm, you would have loved it.

The peacefulness of that last image, Ann Christine 🙂 🙂 Hope you are restored to glory soon… but not too soon!
😊 It seems peacefulness and quietness is what many of us are craving. You are always mostly happy – which helps us a lot, Jo.
My online persona does a good job, darlin 🤗💕
😉
A lovely gallery Ann-Christine 🙂
😚Thank you, Brian.Hope you are doing well – I am mostly rather low.
Yes I am well and happy. Quite busy of late. Not enough time for me to sit down and write posts. I am sorry you feel low A-C 😦 I hope there is enough people around to keep your spirits up
Oh hopefully there is. Trying.
Beautiful images Ann-Christine and I especially love the linens in the forest exhibition 💚
Me too – thank you!
Beautiful quiet moments via your lens, A-C! Lovely photo of your daughter. 💖
Thank you, Amy!
Beautiful. The sheets look like a Cristo installation.

Similar concept. Beautiful and whimsical at the same time.
I checked up your artists as well – and yes.
😊
So beautiful and lovely ”quiet moments” Ann-Christine, stay safe and well too!!!
The same, Paulo!
Excellent, and unusual. I thought someone was drying laundry!
Yes! Thank you. I found it very calming and beautiful. And surprising.
At first, I thought someone was drying their pillowcases. 🙂 Ah, but that last image of the folks on the dock is my favorite!
;-D – and in the forest you can find anything!
Some great images of quieter moments, A C!
♥
Nice clouds. My early morning walks around the neighborhood never occurred to me for this challenge.
Morning walks are quiet moments to me.
so lovely to see your daughter in a quiet moment on a summer evening, Ann Christine. and the white linens in the forest looks magical. thank you for sharing 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them! I loved that exhibition with old hand embroidered linen too!
Lovely .Beautiful expression of ‘a quite moment’.
Thank you for the visual treat
Thanks for the moments of peace. I really enjoyed the whimsy and beauty of the linens. In the States, there are lots of places where you’re not allowed to hang your laundry outside to dry. (I realize this isn’t that, but it reminded me of this.) I think that’s ridiculous! Are we so delicate that we can’t stand seeing someone’s laundry? Where our rental house is, you can hang things out as long as they can’t be seen by the neighbors. Since the backyards are walled, that works just fine and I hang my things out all the time. In the desert, they dry very quickly!

Well – you say there are places you cannot hang your own laundry? I love to see laundry hanging, hang my own too, and often photograph it! Looks so fresh and positive to me. Glad you are in the desert and can hang them!
Beautiful photographs 😊
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed them!
These are beautiful shots, Anne-Christine.
So glad you liked them, Teresa!
Lovely examples.
♥
A very beautiful post this week Ann-Christine, internet issues not-withstanding. I agree it’s awfully difficult to post from the phone. I absolutely loved the linens in the forest – one wonders who comes up with ideas like that! And of course always love to see your daughter – the contemplative pose is perfect for the week’s challenge!
Thank you, Tina. The linen artist is from Asia. And, Emma is summer loving. Hopefully I will be able to use my computer soon though!
Happy Midsummer quiet moments, dear Anne-Christine! 🙂
Thank you!
Lovely images of quietness.
Thank you – easily found these days!
Beautiful images
Thank you – Midsummer quietness.Glad you liked it! Sorry I could not drop the last double…not used to posting on my tiny phone!
I know, i find it much easier on computer too
I have never posted from my phone before, only commented. Difficult to get it to work properly.
Beautiful moments. I love the linen hanging, so still ,in the forest.
Happy to share, Anne, I found that exhibition very quiet and calming too. A wonderful idea really. Asian artist.
