Sparkle

Young love,

sometimes the eyes sparkle,

giving it away that you have fallen in love,

your eyes light up when he walks in the room.

That sparkle is a dead give away.

Satisfy My Soul

 

Fresh Flowers, Vibrant Colors, and Bright Sunny Days,

make me want for nothing else!

Things With Wings

 

The older that we get,

The faster time

seems to fly.

What color are it's wings,

We know not,

we know the voice,

Tic, Toc, Tic Toc,

Enough Said!

Shades of Gray

 

Overcast Cloudy days,

shades of gray,

the sun waiting  behind.

..........

Can you see the face

With the eagle

right above these

words.

.......

Suddenly it

is not 

so

gray.

Being Prepared.

 

Hi I was not sure what I was going to do for this theme this week.

Today it became very obvious and a reminder

that when living in Canada,

you never put your parkas, boots, toques, mitts or shovels away

until June if you want to be prepared.

Yesterday the lilac tree was green and we cut the grass two days ago.

We always are prepared for the Unexpected!

So guess where I am going?

Yes outside to shovel, in a while.

Journey

 

My Journey does not take me far.

But where I am, can be colorful

and interesting enough for me.

I don't chase rainbows,

I've already caught

one!

Extraordinary!

 

Every morning as I step into my back yard

I hear the singing of the birds,

I can drink my morning coffee and see the birds at play,

It is with joy and content that I start my day.

Fresh New Day

 

Early morning walks,

The freshness in the air.

Starts a new day,

Vanishes all your cares.

The fresh breeze blowing on your face.

Reminds you, that right now there is no better place!

Text

 

I have to admit I took this photo a couple weeks ago when I was in Vancouver.

I love seeing all the boats in the marina, I loved the name on the boat,

Schools Out. 

It makes me think of fun times.

Schools Out for Summer,

It also makes me think that owner is a lucky fellow.

What fun!

Hope

 

I took this photo while visiting family.

I made them stop the car.

I love the magic of these guys.

If there is laughter and friendship and kindness.

then we have hope .

Laughter is what makes the world go round.

These statues make me hope that one day all humans can love one another.

I hope you laugh and have a very happy day and Easter weekend.

Hidden

  

I  took this photo last Spring,

I am sorry but my camera is hiding somewhere that I have forgotten about for the moment...

So just as these buds were ready to burst open in a few more days,

and that little bit of squirrel at the bottom were hiding,

I am bursting forth on the hunt for the hidden camera!

Flawed?

 

Is it flawed or is it beautiful?

Trees, sun and a power line,

I choose to see the beauty in the flaw,

which to me somehow makes  things a bit more intriguing..

I am classified as disabled,

is that a flaw, or is it just a different opportunity?

My cup is half full, not half empty!

Life is never flawed if your living!

My Treasure is Time

 

I have trinkets, letters, cards and photos of 

loved ones. Although I cherish them, the most treasured thing

 for me is the time that I have spent with family and friends!

The times when I have done good things , the times 

when I have challenged myself! Seven years ago brought a sudden unexpected

change to my health, An ambulance ride and a hospital stay later,

I realized my greatest treasure in life, and that was time.

Time to slow down, time to appreciate the simple things,

Time to live ,love,laugh,share, I wish I knew this 

sooner in life, I may have spent more time with people I have loved.

Every moment I remember is a treasure, I don't keep them in a box.

I keep them with me wherever I go!

I plan on collecting treasures for a very long time.

Self portrait,

 

I have been playing around with Photoshop,

trying how to figure it out,

Not too often do I do a self portrait.

But.... here I am!

Sweet and Light!

 

A Primulus

made it's way to my house.

Sweet!

But look more blossoms to bloom.

Sweeter Still!

Our Love

 

I 

Love This Man,

not the one on T.V.

He does not believe in Valentines Day,

because he says he should show his love every day,

and he does,

He usually brings me flowers once a week,

we can finish each others sentences,

He catches me when I fall,

And he stands me back up again!

He holds me when I cry,

He laughs with me when I laugh,

And all the love we share,

we can still drive each other crazy.

No love is perfect!

But it is our love

And we

cherish

it!

Carved Rocks!

 

My one great Joy

is Carving Rocks!

Some of you have seen some of my Rocks

from an earlier post!

This was the second one I ever made.

I  love it because it is just Simple

and there forever!

The rest of my rocks are about 2 feet under snow,

I am sure I will find them in the Spring!

Extraordinary!

 

Sometimes

when we

find it.

It can be

Extraordinary!

Perspective!

  

I often wonder what there perspective would be!

For that matter any animal!

We may think we can understand others situations,

I  think the perspective changes once you walk in another persons shoes.

If perspective is all how we look at things, 

Why in the midst of trajedy,

Do we sometimes close our eyes.

Is it so that when we open them again we can see clearer?

And just like we open our eyes

I hope we can all open our hearts

To the people of Haiti!

...........

By being, and trying, and contributing

Perspectives and Outlooks

can  change to ones of  hope.

Shadows

 

I like to sit and watch the shadows

As they dance upon the walls,

To see a candle flicker,

And watch where

The shadow

Falls!
