Paradise

It doesn't get any better than this! Black beach on Maui, Hawaii.

Endless Roads

This week is all about dreaming....driving down a long lost highway, hair in the wind, sunset on the horizon, no schedule or cares in mind. Taken in 2008 driving thru "somewhere" in Kansas.

Dreaming...

If life is all about choices, I would like to choose to be here today. I imagine feeling the warm sun on my skin, hearing the waves crash against the shore, reading a good book, and a cool drink sweating in my hand. ahhhh...paradise at its best. This was taken a year ago in Cannes, France on the French Riviera.

A beautiful sunny day!

I captured this photo of black eyed susans while living in Columbia, SC. It was actually a flower bed at the state capitol, but it appears to be a huge field of flowers! The power of photography! :) I love sunflower-type flowers, this picture always makes me smile inside!

A new perspective

Along the cracks in the sidewalk I found plants with flowers growing at random. A lesson I recently learned is to stay focused on the big picture in life. Sure, there will be "gaps" and rough times, but look beyond that to the row of flowers that abound, making up the landscape of a complete lifetime. Push thru the rough times (gaps) and soon enough you will come upon the next flower in life; a new perspective will allow you to see life as a row of flowers and not focus on all of the gaps along the way. :)

Simple Moments

A pretty flowering bush off the beaten path- all alone, flowering for those who make an effort to notice. The speed walkers and joggers don't even glance, but for those interested in taking time to enjoy nature and look deeper, these are some of the beautiful moments that abound. Isn't that the same in some aspects of life? It takes "digging deeper" to find the true beauty rather than rushing thru the formalities of life.

Flower Life... it was all Yellow

A Closer Look

Tiptoe thru the Tulips....

Tulip time! :) Rows of spring flowers blooming with color in a nearby concrete world!

Spring is in the air.....and on the trees!

Beautiful spring colors fill the air in Centennial Park...

Pastel Sky

Easter boasts pastel colors, and the sunset sky fit the theme this year! Swirling clouds against a sky of bright colors in blue, red, orange, purple... looked like easter eggs in the heavens.

Happy Easter!

Piper the Bunny wishes everyone a very "Hoppy Easter" :) (thanks mom!)

"Everyday is a Winding Road"

A stroll thru the woods on a beautiful Saturday afternoon near Percy Priest Lake in Hermitage, TN. (Near Nashville)

Tree with a Twist!

This tree's survival rate probably looked grim at first, but has full grown in such a contorted manner. Super cool twists and turns, messes with your mind a bit!

April Fools...not just people!

Squirrels do the funniest things! This one found lunch in someone's picnic left-overs. Who's the one foolin' here?
