Swing Into Fall

Let me fall in love and let it be, warm like autumn on a tree
Back and forth like a swing, hues of joy and sadness brings©

Keep Your Vision

“Don’t be discouraged if people don’t see your vision, your harvest. All they see from their perspective is that you’re watering a whole lot of dirt. They don’t SEE what seeds you’ve been planting with blood, sweat, tears and lack of sleep. Make sure you don’t abandon or neglect it because “they” don’t see it. You have to KNOW and believe for yourself. They don’t see the roots and what’s budding under the dirt. But it’s okay, because it’s NOT meant for them to see it. While you wait, MASTER it. You continue to do YOUR work and have unwavering faith! Remember why you started planting in the first place. Your harvest WILL come!”
~Yvonne Pierre, The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir

Summer’s Shades Of Love

You’re exceptional in every way
For you I open like a flower 
On a warm summer’s day
Passion burns like fire
Pretty shades of red
Blooms with desire
Like a sun’s caress
My heart possess

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Summer – Fire

“After Spring we move into the active time of Summer.  This is the energy of Fire, the time of activity, warmth, movement, growth and relationship.  Nature itself is moving, the plants are growing, animals are getting ready to produce young and things are busy.” ~5 Elements of Nature

New Beginnings

“Spring is the beginning of the season cycle, a time of birth and new beginnings. It is also the energy of the element Wood.

This is the energy that brings forth new growth, that pushes the new grass through the snow, the new branches out from old wood, produces new leaves. It does this so nature can take in the nourishment it needs to flourish.”  — 5 Elements of Nature

A Side Of Cars

One thing you wouldn’t know about me, I really love cars. My husband has taught me a thing or two over the years. When we met over 20 years ago, he use to do all the mechanics on his vehicles and even after we got married. Seeing him in his natural habitat, all covered in grease or oil, sexy! 

When we’re out, I love to point to a car and ask him if I got the name right. And I’m especially drawn to special ones that you don’t see too often. So, here’s a few of my captures. The first two are from around town. The third is our 2005 Mustang convertible. I am pretty partial to American muscle cars, although there are a few European cars I wouldn’t mind either.©

Face It

I miss being able to slam the phone down when hanging up on somebody. Let’s face it, violently pressing “end call” just doesn’t have the same effect!

Dream, Dare, Fly

“The bird dares to break the shell, then the shell breaks open and the bird can fly openly. This is the simplest principle of success. You dream, you dare and and you fly.”

Under The Same Roof

“Wisemen’s minds and hearts live together under the same roof of wisdom”~Munia Khan

I quite enjoyed the look of this metal roof with moss growing on it. Also, the lovely backdrop of an old mossy tree. The run down look really has an Americana appeal to me!
