Bedtime

It is exercise alone 

that supports the spirits, 

and keeps the mind in vigor.  

~Marcus Tullius Cicero

... i try to remember its good
for me, but an hour with a
personal trainer and all i want
is to come home and crawl in bed....
pass the chocolates please!

Peek

 

 All art requires courage.  

~Anne Tucker

short post today...
a storm in the valley,
a project at work,
a turn at the gym,
too many of life's details
getting in the way ....
Thank you for slipping in
and taking a peek today!

Green

 

 Lá Fhéile Pádraig

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 to everyone!

Hope you wore your green today!

"Green is the prime color of the world, 

and that from which its loveliness arises." 

-- Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Green is the color of love 

associated with both Venus, the Roman goddess 

and Aphrodite, the Greek goddess.

Kermit the Frog's signature color is green.

 Green is the color of nature, fertility, life.

 Green is the color of balance.

Defeat Age

"There is a fountain of youth: 

It is your mind, 

your talents, 

the creativity you bring to your life 

and the lives of people you love. 

When you learn to tap this source, 

you will truly have defeated age."

~ Sophia Loren

Another year in full swing,

and my daughter turns 30.

The years pass quickly -

seems like yesterday I was

holding her hand, sending her

off to kindergarten, then off to prom.  

Memories that bring a smile. :)  

Humor

Lately, I'm noticing that thing I did with ease,
things I took for granted, are now a little
different as I get older. Of course, the first
thing to go was the eyes. Reading used to
be my greatest pleasure. Thanks to large
print books, and the ability to increase the
font on my computers and the kindle, I can
still have this pleasure, its just adjusted a
little bit. But with reading glasses, it all
works out fine. Well, mostly fine.

When I send or receive a text message on
my phone, I need my glasses. I keep both
my glasses, and my phone, next to my bed
at night -- in case I get some all important
message ... Saturday morning, I'm slowly
waking up, it's early, and my phone beeps,
I have a new text.  I grab my glasses and
stick them on, and try to read my phone.
And I'm thinking "Maaaan, either my eyes
are really tired, or I need to get them checked.
I can barely see my phone this morning!!"
Squinting away, I answer my text and roll over
to catch just a few more minutes under the warm
snuggly covers. Later, when I was fully awake
and getting up, I look over at my phone,
and the glasses I'd tried to read my phone with.
I had myself a really good laugh when I realized
that I'd put on my sunglasses instead of reading glasses.

Love is...

"There is no mistaking Love.

 

You feel it in your heart.

 

It is the common fiber of life,

 

the flame that heats our soul,

 

energized our spirit,

 

and supplies passion to our lives."

~Elizabeth Kubler Ross

I enjoy sharing quotes and thoughts on love.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but 

sometimes more than a picture is necessary. :)

There are many different kinds of love, and everyone
needs a certain amount of all the different kinds!
There's the love you have as a child for your parents,
the love you have as a parent of children.  You love
your pets, sometimes your neighbors! and your
co-workers (sometimes a little TOO well perhaps!)
If you're lucky, you love your spouse,who loves you too.

Love is a part of us, a part of our lives, and
if you love someone, be sure and tell them!

I Love You!

Be Yourself

“To be yourself 

in a world that is constantly 

trying to make you something else 

is the greatest accomplishment.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some days it takes great effort to say "this is me"
and be happy with it.  We all know we can be
better in many ways.  But that should never affect
how we feel about ourselves, nor let us fall into the
trap that says when I do "this" or "that", I'll finally
be happy.  I'll never be a size 12, and that's OK.
We need to be happy with ourselves every day,
in every way.   :)

Touching

“Photography
is a way of feeling,
of touching,
of loving.
What you have caught on film
is captured forever...
it remembers little things,
long after you have forgotten everything.”

~Aaron Siskind










Thank you
for taking
the time

Erotica

To know

the difference

between

erotica

and

pornography

you must first know

the difference

between

naked

and

nude.

~Bernard Poulin

Randoms

Just a couple
of random pix
from the last series

 Like the sky opens 

after a rainy day 

we must open to ourselves.... 

Learn to love yourself 

for who you are 

and open so the world 

can see you shine.  

~James Poland

Sunshine

Sitting in the sun 

waiting for life begin 

looking for a sign 

where it starts 

and where it ends

~lyrics by Band De Soleil

 I love to sunbathe ---
especially in the nude


Lots of extra traffic here lately...
its appreciated!  ~Gal

its nice to have

to play with

camera

settings

and

moods

Of course

a nice stream

of sunlight

"Legs!" at the request of Mr.C|T

Purple

Purple

is royalty. 

A mysterious color, 

purple is associated

with both 

nobility 

and 

spirituality.

A day without having
to go to work
is always a good day,
wouldn't you agree?
