There are times when no words are needed, they are simply a distraction to the soul! Frugal Trenches
Welcome!
I'm Frugal Trenches (no, not my real name!) a lover of natural, simple and frugal living! I use this space and my camera to document a beautiful, purposeful, downshifted and abundant life! Life is not always simple (oh how I wish it was!) but it is always rich and I hope this space demonstrates beauty and joy!
If you have a question, feel free to leave it in the comments! I read and appreciate every comment and will reply to questions within the comment section, even if it takes a day or two (or three, but whose counting!).

I have said this before but you do not realize what talent you have. You may not have an expensive camera or do any touch ups as you’ve mentioned but you have an eye and the ability to capture soulful moments. Money can not buy that. You really should look into becoming both a professional writer and photographer.
What beautiful images – particularly the horse photo.
What a wonderful way to spend your Saturday.
In your photos the beaches where you are seem to be more shallow than here. I wonder if it is because we are on the Pacific Ocean and not the North Sea(?). Shallow beaches are great for littlies as they can enjoy so much more of the water and the waves do not crash around so much. I really enjoy your beach photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I have never been to England, I am loving seeing it through the eyes of someone who knows it well. You make me want to take up photography, but first I have to get a digital camera($!!). Thanks for all the beautiful pictures you post – I am really enjoying them.
Beautiful!
I love your photos. You do have talent.
Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos of Devon!
Absolutely amazing. I bet they would look great mounted or blown up.
Lovely pictures!
wonderful photographs and a wonderful blog that I have stumbled upon:0)
Loved your beach photos. I also found your reflections on whether to celebrate Christmas very profound for such a young one. Kudos to you for putting to words what I’ve often thought of myself. I wholeheartedly agree with all of what you’ve said. Only thing is, after having read a thought provoking article by a Jewish writer, I’m rethinking some of the Christmas customs which we seem to celebrate…due to their origins. Otherwise, I find that Christmas is a wonderful time for me to remember all that Christ stands for and what Jesus came for…and I do that also at Easter. God bless you this season
Such beautiful pictures
What a gorgeous world we live in! Thank you for capturing times and places of such beauty to share with us.
