Some Summer
I'm seeing a pattern here. Lately, I'm taking more vertical pictures, favoring certain colors. Not ALL the time, but often showing what I love. There's so much to see and hear and feel in life; so much to live for! So much to give! As each day goes by, I crave more beauty...CRAVE it, NEED it, HAVE to FIND it! Why? Because I am a creature designed and made by the Creator, God. He's all about beauty and wants us to enjoy it. He gave some people the gift to be creative, and to some just a bit of a knack to be creative. I'm one of those just a bit of a knack ones. What do you consider to be beautiful? What exCITES you and makes you want to jump up and down with delight? Are you stuck in a rut, depressed, needing change, craving beauty? I've been there, my dears, many times. I've been learning to suffer triumphantly, slipping a bit, then coming back up and going a bit higher and staying there. The gratefulness for everything that's happened this year is a gift. Big gratefulness, sincere gratefulness. I guess I'm growing up. Well, it's aBOUT time! This has been some summer!

I love these, Gail -- particularly the umbrellas. The train tracks through the fence with the curve at the end, and the tree are a pattern of their own, and both very lovely shots -- I love your eye! How did Brianne's shots come out?
Very good advice and I needed to read this!
I enjoy your photos. Recently many of my shots are of the sky. Setting suns, sun risings, clouds... such beauty!
Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous as usual. You have been blessed with a wonderful eye.
@slmret - Thank you, Janet! I'm going to have Brianne do her "show and tell" on Monday, on my blog here. That'll be her LAST day here and I want her to stay home and do photos with me!!!!
@Lucy_or_Ethel - I love sky pictures, too and have so many cloud ones, I could almost create my own sky! ( 8
@oldfatgramma - Thank you, dear friend!
I love the umbrella picture! I want to learn to take beautiful pictures of my children- they're the most beautiful things on earth to me.
I would love to hear more about how you are suffering triumphantly. What are you setting your mind on in order to be able to do this? Please share when you have a chance.
Oh, yay! Wow -- school starts already?!
so Inspiring ! Love it !
@aretheyallyours - You DO have beautiful children! I know that a steady hand, lighting and angle helps! Also, CATCHING them! I'm always trying to get more "ideal" shots! It takes alot of mistakes, though to get the great one. ( ;
@georgene - "I can do all things trough Christ who gives me strength"! "I will never leave you, nor forsake you"! "Be still and know that I am God"! What can mere man do to me? God is in control, and the Holy Spirit lives within me. I have no doubt!!!
