carry your heart

from the softness of the sand

to the tattered edges of the sky

have you joined in the parade of love here ?

a rescue

our golden Sam
came to us halfway through his 10 year life
after feeling the sting of fear and rejection
......
we rescued him

our family
after feeling the sting of pet loss
and a quiet, lonely summer without a dog
......
Sam rescued us

join the "Pet Parade" as it passes by your spot in the world

in every parade stars shine

and become

connected.vivid.textured.
close.glowing.rich.artistic.happy.playful.bright
.giving.colorful.gems.shining.reflective.round.wonderful

I am in awe each time you visit my "parade" of photos
and twirl along with me through this blog life
just for fun keep marching and
link your pets either from your blog or photostream
beginning Wednesday for
Gayle's "Parade of Pets"

a wish for this week

to find beauty even in the broken

we all live under the same sky

and ane
and georgia
and survana

Reflections

gardening with a camera, a sparkly skirt and those eyes

gather photos of your pets as this Parade moves to Gayle's blog next week...

shades of lavender

on the couch
at the table by a window
in the yard gazing at a red bud tree
where do you see colors in your world that make your heart sing?

a toast

quiet moment with paper light and lace

i rest my case

last weeks
jury duty included
the law of beauty

gaze at the evidence

listen to the testimony of fountains

whispers of a pine

feel the contrast of life

beauty and calm
in this area
outside the court house

sabbath defined

rest,
harmony,
relaxation,
mindfulness,
a break from work,
make time for these moments

here I sit

reading glasses...check

inspiration...check

think "GREEN" at Inspire Me Thursday
think aging, yet happy eyes here
hopeful that your weekend will be color filled and in focus

leaves return

to sing.whisper.shade.crackle.flutter

to dance.stretch.breath.hide.fly.humble

to shine.float.support.grow.inspire

trio

leaf on front porch

friends on the back porch

gold bands resting on cloth

sometimes life happens in black and white

the four

colors in my mind

solid blocks of memory
time of wheels turning
bright moments of laughter
colored our days many years ago
Monday Memories on a shelf and in my heart
