Gratitude

"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends".
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

This isn't a great photo but I still like it.  It was taken quite a while back in Wimauma.  I love Hibiscus, they are probably one of my favorite flowers.  As for the quote, I liked it and thought I'd share it with you today.  Happy Wednesday everyone!

Friendship

"A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be."  ~Douglas Pagels

I haven't posted anything recently and was going through my archives and found this red flower.  I don't know the name and I believe I posted it once on another blog.  Hope you enjoy it.  Wishing all my friends a safe and most beautiful day.

Tree and Sky

"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."  ~Henry David Thoreau

A photo of a tree I took a short while back.  I love the sky in the background and thought black and white was more dramatic.  I found the quote, liked it and thought I'd share it with you.

Mama's Old Bench

"The sweetest sounds to mortals given, are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven."  ~William Goldsmith Brown

Mama's bench first sat under the Oak tree at our  home in Wimauma and then when we moved to Spring Hill it sat under a tree in the front side yard.  Now it sits under this Oak in my sisters front yard in Spring Hill.  The only think missing from this bench is Mama.  Mama loved sitting on this bench but because of her RA she rarely got the chance.

"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer."  ~Ansel Adams 

I recently discovered an app on my iPad that I just LOVE!  It's called XnView Fx.  It's one of many I've found and think is just the bees knees!  This photo was modified with an effect called Polaxoid.  I hope it looks as good here (on your computer) as it does on the iPad, which by the way I am enjoying way too much.  How did I live without it for so long.  Wishing everyone a wonderfully fantastic weekend.

Until next time...
