Always know the importance of our Down syndrome children, they are special! I have a grandson, Gabriel, who is loved by our whole family. He does require more attention but is worth every minute of it.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Got to spend some quality time with my Mom today. It was a good day indeed. We drove around the lake and admired the views. A little more of the artistic side of my photography. A few lean more to the abstract side of what I see when I'm in nature. Time is oh so short, that is today's life lesson from Mother Nature.
So many thoughts run through my mind right now, so many people I want to thank for their unconditional love and support, for the inspiration and the life lessons, the good advice and tips, their friendship, their encouragement, their belief in me!
My amazing loyal Friends of old and my new wonderful Friends (you know who you are), Thank You All so much for being who you are and for taking this long and beautiful journey called Photography along with me :)))
I've sent you all my very best wishes for the New Year already, so now let me wish us all another Fantastic year of creative and inspired imagery!!!
Happy New Year 2016!!!
One of the important life lessons in this house is........YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE CATS. Lucy's tail is at the top of the photo as she's sitting on the table with her head peering over the other side glaring at Emily. Emily has learned that she can practice her puppy shenanigans with everyone in the house except the cats. The cats get along with all of the dogs as long as the dogs follow the cat rules. Emily is a few days shy of 6 months old.
For Walden
Every dog reminds me of you
and all the things we use to do
My one constant for 15 years
When you left it brought about tears
Someday I'll find another friend
But it will never bring my love for you to an end
Thank you for the joy you brought
and the life lessons you taught
You will always be this man's best friend
Until I too meet my end

This brown bear family's day at the beach consisted of salmon fishing, clam digging, and life lessons.
Let go of the past...
Trust the future...
Embrace change...
Come out of the cocoon...
Unfurl your wings...
Dare to get off the ground...

Salmon fishing in Alaska many times is about prime fishing holes. That's true whether it's the human fishermen all lined up in a "combat" fishing situation ... and it's the same with the brown bears. It's so much fun to watch them as they take their favorite spots. Of course, these spots are determined by dominance. However there are times when the dominant bear is not in their spot .... so at that point, all dibs are off. Until of course, when they return ... then the squaring off ensues. It begins with the head hanging and slow approach of the "owner" bear and the nervous anticipation of the "invader" bear. Then low growls and mouthing continues and eventually it ends up being loud growls and teeth baring ... stand-up wrestling is also common. Most times the confrontation is quick because bears for the most part know their own place in hierarchy, though challengers are part of the learning process. Sometimes life lessons are inflicted and injury results ... a slash from the opposing bear's claws, a chunk of meat bitten into ... thankfully I have not witnessed worse in person.
I just love to watch these amazing bears ... and hope you like seeing images of them too.
Happy Friday!

life lessons from a puddle: it’s in our frayed, raw places that light shines through; vulnerability is a portal to connection, acceptance, and healing.

Life is a lot like being a potter. Sometimes you get what you want, sometimes you make a mistake. When you make a mistake, just smoosh it and start over.
Sometimes standing out from the crowd is a bonus. A life lesson here perhaps in this picture of daffodils among other Spring flowers. Yes they are different but by being different they complement the other flowers.
-"That's not the way, Leonardo!"- It seems that mom and dad are teaching their son the correct position to maintain balance on the log.
In spring and summer, I can see many painted turtles that love to sunbathe on tree trunks and branches next to lakes and ponds. This family was in the park where I often walk.
a shining example to us all … <3
“You know by now that I'm an orphan;
displaced; a fractured heritage
with broken bones and greenwood splinters
I find solace in my private hermitage
while they knit together and are cauterised;
my bones and wounds will heal
my soul will rise and truth will find me
within the Catacombs of Bastille
a chequered history when darkness fell
but somehow I will rise above
my mind still pure and innocent;
my heart and soul still filled with love.” - AP

THE BEAUTY OF YOU – JIMMY LaFAVE
Be your own anchor
and weather every storm
duck the flying lemons
be still within; the healing balm
of knowing who you are is rich
in love; in goodness; confidence
complete within your inner shell
a wholesome fruit no-one can dent
validate from deep within
there you will find the truth
don't listen to the tides that turn
the lies they tell; there is no proof
let your inner child and voice
supply the answers to your prayers
the truth will out and blood may spill
but love is there for those who share
understanding is the key
to our human frailties
someone hurt who screams and shouts
is only human and full of doubt
rely on yourself to find the way
a tree needs no outward validation
“it is what it is” my inner voice says
I can stand tall; no limitations
my soul is evolving to a state of being
as I move slowly to enlightenment
we must suffer; that's how we learn
a pain-free life is not our entitlement
all those who float along smooth paths
I do not envy you
for I consider life-lessons a gift
they make me stronger; they make me true
“consider the lilies of the field”
they rise; they fall; they are beautiful
leave tomorrow to itself
live in truth; be bountiful.

A wet and windy Saturday , had to get out of the house. Went to the National Botanic Gardens for a walk and inspiration. Planned to camp in the band stand type shelter. However , two couples were already there admiring the gardens and rain. Not moving. So I kept walking, ended up beside the river Tolka, and saw the rushing waters, the weir was creating plenty of turbulence. And as I clicked away . i saw a football float past. I thought it had missed it, but as i looked at the weir, there is was rolling in the water, like the river was playing keepie uppie. I set up the tripod and snapped a variety of settings. The as i prepared to shoot again, the ball was GONE. I looked down the river and there is was floating serenely away.
A natural life lesson , if you find yourself in dire straits, keep rolling along... :)

One day I spotted glistening mushrooms popping up in-between green clover. I knew it was a moment to capture. Life is so fleeting and we need to support each other and love each blessing. That's what the mushrooms said.

They have been misused, abused, wind blown, rained on and frosted just in the last two weeks! Now that's tough . . . knowing that when they let go, it's the last ride . . .
Is there a "life lesson" here about covid, or just about aging tough, not giving up, and when it's the last ride, yell "weeeeee" all the way down?
Sigh . . . what are your thoughts?

the swan child probably thought my tripod was a big black swan and came straight at me. The swan mother scolded horrific and gave the youngster a lot on the feathers. Oh, poor little swan, a life lesson. My son said: "Mom are you crazy, swans are killing for their children "! I said:" These are killer reflections " ;-), but I wasn't quite comfortable either.

Happy evening, all!
today I turn 50, and I am struggling with it, but I know my strengths and I will look at today as an opportunity to be thankful for the life lessons that have made me stronger.
A lone stalk of Queen Anne's lace faces down an impending summer thunderstorm. I love the high level of energy exuded by storms as they approach. The transformation of sky and cloud, the cool and gusty outflow winds, and distant thunder and lightning enthrall me. I stay outdoors until the last possible second before the downpour begins. I often misjudge the moment and get caught bicycling home soaking wet. The prospects of this happening only add to the drama. On this evening I was taken by the sheer delicacy of the flower, swaying about madly in the blustery wind, against a backdrop of growing menace in the sky. It's that flexibility that allows them to withstand the onslaught. A wonderful visual dichotomy as well as a life lesson all rolled into one. Perfect fare for a sultry evening in late July.

Polar bear cubs stay with their mothers for 2.5 to 3 years learning valuable survival lessons. Here, in a snowy landscape with willow bushes and stunted trees, the lesson seems to have something to do with the sense of smell. The 2nd cub is barely visible behind mom.
