Oh the Places You'll Go...

My baby girl graduated this week. True to her character, she finished school the way she does life, intensely and fully. Jess is beautiful inside and out. I am proud of her for finishing well and believe she will continue on well. Oh the places you'll go...

Their Dance

Gently they moved in the wind,  lending sweet romance to the landscape.  The dance was theirs to dance and my pleasure to behold. I didn't want to leave.

Sunny Side Up

These wee flowers are so cheery and bright - they are sunny side up! Even the grasses in the background reach up in the same direction the flowers face. I wonder if that is how it is with people. If we see someone or a group of someones whose disposition is cheery, do we look in the direction they look? Do we start looking up?

Celebrate!

There is a whole lot of celebrating going on these days: Father's Day, Graduations, Canada Day, the Fourth of July for our fine friends in the south and a couple of weddings coming up in the near future.

As I was walking the trail over the lunch hour today, this time with my grown-up kids alongside me, I happened upon this, whatever this is. I couldn't resist moving into the brush to take some shots. Who needs fireworks when we have this kind of excitement and celebration wrapped up in greenery? If you know what this is, comment below; I'd love to know too.

Life Emerges

From cloud to clarity, it emerges...life. From wee seeds to tiny grapes, the fruit is born. I love this time of year; amazing growth is all around me as creation moves into summer.

Fleet

The mist and fog settled in. It was as though nothing else existed, only our fleet of sails and the ocean below. Quiet was ours as time stood still.

Light

When you possess light within, you see it externally.  ~Anaïs Nin

Then followed that beautiful season...Summer...

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Night-Light

Beautiful pops of light brought a magical quality to the woodlands. No longer afraid in the darkness, I looked around and saw rich green ferns and waving grasses as beautiful and harmless rather than hidden or hiding places. Light changed everything.

Petals Meet Metals

There is a chain linked fence along the path we walk. Woven in and through these rusty links are delicate blooms, easily making themselves a home alongside the metal and wire. Surprisingly, the urban backdrop takes nothing away from the beauty of the blooms. Rather, by contrast, the beauty is enhanced.
