Flowers

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. ~Henry David Thoreau

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~Lao Tzu

"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." ~ John Burroughs

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. ~ Robert Fulghum

beauty

Looking for and enjoying beauty is a way to nourish the soul. the universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh-baked bread. Beauty is everywhere. ~ Matthew Fox

A little flower.

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. ~ Hans Christian Andersen

Thorns and all.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. ~ Elbert Hubbard

Sunshine

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. ~Joseph Addison

Welcome to Who-ville

Our buildings, to you, would seem terribly small
But to us, who aren't big, they are wonderfully tall.
My town is called Who-ville, for I am a Who
And we Whos are all thankful and grateful to you. ~Dr. Seuss

Some pictures from this week.

The girls were off of school on Tuesday for election day so we went to the park and I took a few pictures.

Another one of Alex from the other day.

One from All Saints Day

Trouble on the Causeway

My little model.

I pay him with candy! =)

Wild Thing Rumpus!

Here are their costumes they made for their Wild Things Rumpus at school!

Some older pics that I just hadn't posted yet.

I like this black and white sting ray. It won first place in pictorial black and white at my photo club competition. =)

Blue Bayou (well mostly green) =)

Mr. Happy! He is smiling!

Emily helping mommy practice.

I definitely need to recover this chair, orange vinyl does not photograph well. (It was a freebie.)

Em looks so cute in this hat! I need to take some better pictures of her with it on. Today we were just outside trying to practice with the reflector but the reflector holder (David) wouldn't hold the reflector still! All he wanted to do was look for bugs!

Em is the only one that likes to help me practice with my camera these days. The other two I just have to catch them here and there while they run around in circles! =)

Pumpkin patch

He just wanted to look at that scarecrow no matter what I said or did!

More Alex

More Bella

Bella's sleepover.

Bella had a sleepover and Uncle Alex let her borrow one of his shirts!

My monkeys playing in the trees.

This and that.
