People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

This is dedicated to Karin & Helmut... they live in one of the little houses refracted in the drop.

........I was amazed about the powerful glow she still had...

There is no postprocessing here... just took this one in the

late afternoon with available light.

I remember some orange lemonade with this name...

Good Morning!!! With this morninglight-delight I want to whish all of my wonderful

friends in Flickr a great start into the week... filled with joy and light!

These grasses (maybe some kind of wild oat, I have to find out) grow in the Lavendula and wheat fields. They danced so gracefully in the hot summer breeze.

This is one of my own favourite photographs :)

Just looke it up: it is a kind of "Avena Sativa"... but the wild weed kind:

"Other species are nuisance weeds in cereal crops, as, being grasses like the crop, they cannot be chemically removed; any herbicide that would kill them would also damage the crop."

This moss looks like little trees...

Couldn't resist taking this piece outside to capture the beautiful evening light through her beautiful curves. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing - let your light shine.

Despite their sharpness they had something so soft in them...

the translucency and inner glow.

Little Nosy was drinking when I approached with the camera...

she was kind of telling me with her eyes to leave them alone without disturbing them...

A wonderful and lightfilled sunday to you all!
