i took this at my grandparents house, which automatically makes it special.
i just watched Seven Pounds. its funny how watching heartbreaking movies forces you to think of your own life and the people in it. beautiful film though. and for once the tag lines on the box were right--it really was life changing, in a way.
anyway. it got me thinking. it made me question why such horrible things can happen in life. why God allows people to die before their time or lets a disease hang on for years at a time. i hate when i get these thoughts (which has been more frequent lately), because i know deep down that i'm wrong. God knows what He's doing so much better than I do. i should just trust Him. i suppose this is the first time in my life that i've had a hard time really trusting God.
so in the midst of my anger and my questioning, this verse came to mind.
Proverbs 3:5-6:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
I need to stop relying on my own understanding. I need to acknowledge God's providence in all situations, no matter how bleak. And though trusting is hard, it is such a relief.
oh a separate note, listen to this.
“Life has taught me that respect, caring and love must be shared, for it's only through sharing that friendships are born.”

Marble is teaching Phillip the finer things in life....how to blow a bubble. FIrst you must choose the correct size piece. Next, you must chew it till it is nice and rubbery and sticky spit covers your face. Third take it out of your mouth and stretch it flat with your two hands. Fourth, put it back in your mouth, but swallow all of your spit first. Fifth, push it against your teeth with your tongue and then move your tongue then blow super hard. Don't forget to make a circle with your lips so the bubble can escape a little bit.
Stay tuned to see how this goes!

I actually had this one in mind for the trees & rocks, looks like it could apply to part of lesson 3 with painting water as well.
I hated Chemistry.
These boys look very studious but then there were was a camera around!
Probably 1960s.
In the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, Katherine tells the story of a girl desperately searching for ladybugs who only finds them when she finally relaxes, takes a nap and awakes covered by the beautiful little insects. A great life lesson, I always thought.
Today, an unseasonably warm day brought hundreds of ladybugs crawling on my house and flying in the woods. Such a lovely seen....just a lovely reminder of a wonderful lesson.
Formerly called "Blue-crowned Motmot", which is now regarded as a complex involving five species and numerous subspecies.
Surprisingly the Cuckmere River opens out a little here (it is tidal to this point) and it is perfectly reasonable to kayak down to the sea (indeed I have done it many moons ago)

All of my Tucson Rodeo photos are dedicated in memory of the greatest Rodeo Photographer in the history of the sport, Louise Serpa. Louise lost her 3 year battle with cancer in January, only weeks before her 50th year of photographing the Tucson Rodeo. Louise photographed her final Tucson Rodeo in 2011 at the age of 85 while being treated for her terminal illness. She has been called the “Ansel Adams of Rodeo” photography. In 1995 she published a book of her well known photos titled RODEO: NO GUTS NO GLORY
This Moorhen was swimming around in one of the ponds with two young chicks. Probably teaching some well needed lessons at this early stage of life.
I remember coming across this scene and couldn't wait to share it as it was an unusual sight for me and I thought it was so cool and here I am just getting to it 10 months later. Daah!
