If sepia is autumn’s way of reminding us that time does flow, amber if a gift. A chance of being immortalized.
Step into the autumn’s amber glow and capture the moment, the best of you. Think of your future self holding this golden instant of what it could have been…

The word safari comes from the Arabic safariya, an expedition during which discoveries can be made. Be it a new smell, a new sound or just appreciative silence.

I enjoyed your ode to amber!
Thank you so much, Liz!
I have an amber necklace – it always seems to be glowing when I open my drawer 🙂
What a treat that must be!
Amber leaves an ambiance of memory and joy. And dragonflies – one of my favorite. In my new children’s book there’s a ‘hidden’ dragonfly on every page. Not set in amber, though!
I tried to comment on your previous excellent post with a list of book titles for Christmas. I’m proud to say I’ve read at least six of your suggestions. Yay! WE Indie authors are amazing. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Pam! Exciting dragonflies.
I do agree, Indie authors rock 😉
