I bought a porcelain figurine on eBay from France. To my pleasant surprise, the parcel arrived quite quickly and very well-packed. The figurine survived the trans-Atlantic journey all intact.
It's not the first time that I've received a parcel from France or Italy fully covered in stamps. I think I'd keep the box just for the stamps. Too bad that someone decided to cancel the stamps with a marker instead of proper postal cancellations.
Sometimes it takes a frosty morning to make you realise that beauty is everywhere, even down at your feet. So fragile, you hold your breath.

A shot from the backyard this morning. There where a few more of these fellows, some with damaged wings, hence the title of my shot.
A frozen bloom this morning, nearly as cold as my fingers! I'm a bit late starting Project Flickr this year but my resolution is to try and keep up.! So apologies for posting late....

“The breath of wind that moved them was still chilly on this day; the flowers gently resisted, curling up with a kind of trembling grace and turning their pale stamens towards the ground. The sun shone through them, revealing a pattern of interlacing, delicate blue veins, visible through the opaque petals; this added something alive to the flower's fragility, to it's ethereal quality, something almost human ,in the way that human can mean frailty and endurance both at the same time. The wind could ruffle these ravishing creations but it couldn't destroy them, or even crush them; they swayed there, dreamily; they seemed ready to fall but held fast to their slim strong branches-...”

A cliffside ruin at Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. I had to wait almost one hour for the sun to illuminate the façade, still a somewhat boring shot.

Honestly, there is really nothing special at this subject, just a grass - but everytime i watch it, it touches me.
I don't know exactly, why - it seems to be a symbol of tenderness.....
Anyhow, i just want to share this image with you, maybe you feel something completely different. Please don't keep back critics as well as thoughts - i'm looking forward to all of them.
Fragile Threads
by Victoria Frazior, 1998
Our lives, embroidered into the fabric of time,
Nearly invisible in the length and breadth of space;
We execute our creation, stitch by stitch
Hoping for glory in its making.
We bind our memories, our dreams and our hopes
In tiny fragile threads,
Across the uncertain terrain of our lives.
Together we find courage and strength
To face our task at hand
Seeking solace in our quest
As those who have the eyes to see
And the ears to hear.

Fragile frost on the window in the conservatory on Thursday morning, it changed by the minute meaning I took a few too many pictures!
Taken for the T189 alphabet challenge
This is quite old as is the next upload as well.
I was waiting on the day to upload it when I had nothing else to take.
Today was a little annoying, I am so glad tomorrow is my Friday!
I need a break from everything!
Oh I sent out the prints today to the winners! sorry that took so long.
I am a terrible procrastinator. :)
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes
it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
