"An unlikely creation"

In looking at this painting you would think that I created this purposefully, to the contrary.  This beautiful mix of hues was a chance happening in the paint tray I was using.  I looked down and fell in love with what the colors had created.  I snapped a photo with my macro lens and wallah.  Now I have a beautiful one of a kind photo that looks like a professional artist painted.  Sometimes the most beautiful surprises happen by chance.

Simple Beauty

True beauty soars through the skies, true beauty smiles without provocation, true beauty exists all around just look and see......

Have you ever sat back and enjoyed the simple beauty that surrounds our life everyday.  For me it comes in so many shapes, colors, and sizes.  It is the genuine laughter of a child, the elegant taste of ice cream , the vibrant colors of a flower, the greens of the grasses, the winds blowing, the tight hugs from my children and the gentle kiss from my husband.

My happiness comes not from items that were bought but from all the beautiful experiences and observations I have gratefully experienced.  That to me is true beauty.

"Summer"

Summer....

Hot days, cool nights, crickets chirping, flip flops strewn about, beach towels drying from the backs of chairs, screams of children echoing down a quiet street.....summer.
