Rose Unfolded

 

How does it happen that the birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill?

-Victor Hugo

 

Roses, Tree, Lake

The lake scene above was taken this past Sunday.

The rose bud above was captured a couple of years ago.

I took the rose close-up, above, a couple of years ago.

Abundance: Life Within

This week’s Thursday Challenge is “Abundance”. My photograph reflects the abundance of life within. This can be perceived many ways, such as life within a family (my definition), a life beginning that has not been birthed, life and its pathways, and other meanings you might ponder.

Visit Thursday Challenge to see more photographs depicting “Abundance”.

Rose Beauty, Sunflower Joy, Wings to Fly

Yom Huledet Sameach! Happy Sixth Birthday, dear Emily Girlie Girl!

Thank you for the rose beauty and sunflower joy you bring into my life. I look forward to seeing you spread your wings in the upcoming years. May all your flights and journeys be positive ones.

The 23rd of May is a bit of a unusual day for me, almost like an oxymoron.

I miss you Dad. Your memories comfort me, and I feel blessed to have had your love during the first sixteen years of my life.
