School's Out, Spirit's Free At Last

School’s out, for me anyway. Now I have time to stretch my creative spirit beyond where it has been before. To let it out of it’s cage and let it wander just to see what it comes up with that is out of the ordinary. It has been a struggle to find the time to blog because something else always desperately needed my attention, or at least I thought that was the issue. But no excuses now, I am free, and plan to take my camera out on dates as much as possible so I will always have fresh material to use to yap about. One thing I am really fascinated in is quotes, love them and how they apply to your life if you let them. So I took some favorite quotes to put with my favorite photos. I think an excellent match.

So here are arrangements of sunflowers dressed up in their Sunday best= quotes.

Our Heros

Mother’s Day is such an extraordinary day. We pay tribute to our mothers who gave us existence, who lifted us up when we were down, kissed our hurts, and dried our tears. Made us believe we could soar if only we tried. Believed in us when no one else did. Thought we were the greatest things that ever walked this earth. Our own one person cheering squad that always cheered the loudest and knew we would always win at whatever we did. They were on our side, whispering in our ears “Try…try harder….make it materialize!” They sacrificed everything so that we could be anything. That unconditional love was always there, the valiant tiger that could rip apart anyone or anything that dared to cause us pain or unhappiness. They enthused, they motivated, they inspired, and they stirred our passions with their wooden spoon of life. They made us feel 10 feet tall and could slay dragons. Our mothers, our heros.

Look closely, you will see Troy hiding
