Tuesday.. Just a Quick Fly By!

"Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings." ~ Victor Hugo ====================== Shutter Day- Theme 184: Flight

This is One of Those.. "I Am Trying to Be NICE... " Days!.. Don't Make Me!!

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

~ William Shakespeare = = = = = = = = = = = = Garden Bloggers Bloom Day~

From the tiniest blooms of Border Grass

and Turks Cap.. to....

.. Colorful Petunias...

...

There are many whose names I have forgotten.. they were not chosen by their names...

But chosen instead for their beauty.. in either looks or in scent.. or maybe they will feed me.....

~ I am thankful for my garden...

....

.......

.. And... my garden and I are Thankful for the slow rain falling now... I hope that something in this world has given you cause to be thankful today.... I am thankful...

~ Kirstin plays her game as we travel to the beach...

We sometimes travel as a family to the beach.. we will all take out own cars and even our own friends may join in for the day.. These are shots from out last trip...

Shadow Shot Sunday~ Weekly Winners.. Travel~

~ the guys play football.. Jenny and her shadow are ready to walk!

Dave and Kirstin.. with some help from their shadows... build a cute sand castle..

~ Emily and Kirstin climbed trees...

~ and Kirstin made her first Lighthouse climb...

~ and as the day comes to an end and we all get ready to separate.. each going off on their own pursuits.. I beg and plead till the "little ones" give in and pose for my usual Photo of them.... Maybe on the next trip I'll do like I used to and give them each a roll of film and a piece of paper to write me an essay for their Scrapbooks...

I hope you enjoyed your visit into my world today.. and survived.. it was bad around here today.. Radiators just don't like us.. nor do head gaskets on jeeps.. and of course we have all this money laying around as well... NOT!.... I would scream... but I know from experience that screaming doesn't help... and soooooooooo.... we now move on to the next thing... Have a wonderful Day!!!

Two for Tuesday!! Winter ~ Summer!

"Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream."

~ Barbara Winkler "That beautiful season the 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 Welcome to Two 4 Tuesday photo meme for Tuesday July 27, 2010! This week’s Photography Challenge: ‘Summer – Winter’.

~ Fresh and green leaves dress the summer trees....

~ a Rare winter snow blankets the trees leaving them glittering with beauty.

Every season changes the trees in my yard.. I love to see the changes they go through from day to day.. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.. Have a wonderful day!
