Our tribute to a very talented artist and wonderful friend, imago2007
What is it like to stand next to a Prince?
The world seems brighter, hopeful, and true.
The world seems bolder, colorful, and renewed.
When you stand next to a Prince shoulder to shoulder and cheek to cheek,
the world is yours if you are the meek.
Because when I'm with you, my Prince, everything is right.
Because when I'm with you, my Prince, there is a sweet radiant light.
In many countries, Palm Sunday is referred to as Flowering Sunday or Flowers Sunday. May you all blossom and flower throughout your week. Thank you for the kind favs, comments, and support.
Happy Sunday Friends!
Chugging along
On the tracks of life
Riding onward through strife
Never giving up
Ever constant always wins
Really foggy, but I can't wait to see what is around the bend.
Thank you for your kind favs and comments. I'm looking forward to catching up with you all. Enjoy your upcoming weekend and hang in there!
Light of hope
Enveloped and eternal
Always protected
Forever secure
When we surround ourselves by the one true king, we cannot help but be green!
Thank you for wrapping me up with the warmth of your wonderful comments and favs. Happy Friday Flickr Friends! Enjoy your weekend.
I stand before you fully flawed and unbecoming.
I stand before you covered in my own filth.
I come before you humbly surrendering.
I come before you in complete guilt.
I kneel before you, at your throne.
I kneel before you, fully known.
Oh Lord, my Savior.
Oh Lord, my Grace.
You've taken my filth and restored my faith.
Thanks so much for your kind visits and favs. I hope you all have a wonderful week and keep Spring in your heart.
Second chances don't come every day,
Second chances can be rare in every way,
Second chances are worth the leap of faith,
Second chances are here; don't delay!
The book of Ezra tells us that God indeed grants second chances to those who trust and obey.
I went exploring this day around my new home. I found new hope in every detail. I hope you carry hope with you as well and look for it with your heart instead of your eyes.
Happy Friday Flickr Friends! Thank you for your kind favs and comments. They are much appreciated.
While walking my path one day,
I stopped along the way.
Sensing a soul nearby,
Downtrodden and about to cry.
Once I found it, I held it tight.
My heart reached out to help make things right.
Dawn had reached my path.
In the light I did bask.
Solitude was no more.
Cheerful peace was at my door.
Engaging in an adventure in life;
Rugged rocks and twisted trees.
No more bloody knees.
My only wish is to walk along,
Enveloping others in a happy song.
Now I know my way.
True to myself...every day.
There are some paths that seem right. Let wisdom and discernment be your companions and guiding light. You will never walk alone or find your feet on a crooked path. This day, I found a path worthy of my feet and my camera. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and find your own paths.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. They are most appreciated.
The darkness within
The darkness within
Who can dispel the darkness within?
Agony and pain
Agony and pain
What can take away the pain and shame?
From the heavens above a burning fire of love shining forth so bright, it gave the darkness a fright.
No more agony no more shame.
Even the darkness knows his name.
For only light can dispel the darkness within and do it with a playful grin.
I hope you all carry your light with you especially on this night.
Have a Spooktacular weekend!
Thank you for all your kind favs and comments. I look forward to catching up with your wonderful works.
Ever watchful
Vilgilant and true
The Dragon's eye is always on you.
There is a legend in Chinese culture that a statue of an Azure dragon comes alive at night and drinks from a particular waterfall. He dilligently protects the surrounding area, espcially those precious to him. He represents the Spring season.
Even though this photo has very little color to it, you can rest assured that he shows his colors brilliantly!
This is my second photo in my Dragon series.
Thank you all for your kind favs and comments.
Reaching out with all my might,
I long to touch the one in which my soul ignites.
Everything burns,
Everything yearns,
Just to make a connection;
To feel the warmth of your loving affection.
This is a macro double image. A little fire and summer light for a crisp cool day. I hope it warms you from the inside out.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. I hope you all have a bright and sunny day!

on Explore!
An echo of my name went over the great plains of destiny and destination.
So I went running to see him again.
I took that leap feeling fully recovered and fully grown.
Not plucked; of my own accord.
I landed ever so gently. A sigh of relief. No longer attached to loneliness and the unknown.
So I came running to see him again.
Singing, I sent back my voice penetrating the many dimensions and filling the space that still lies between us. A confirmation of full bloom and rediness to be welcomed home.
So I went running to see him again.
He was in the time of many transitions, trials, and tribulations, but I knew one day these would cease and when the air cleared the divide between us would be no more.
He would come running to see me again.
Finding joy in the wait, yet still longing for his warmth and ways, I settled in a peaceful nest. Life and strife keep me busy until that time; that day....
When he comes running to see me again.
Thank you all for your kind favs and comments. I shall come knock on your door for a visit soon. Happy Sunday Flickr Friends!
Home awaits
Ever reaching
A torn veil
Very close
Eternal light
Now ascension
One last image from my heavenly adventures from the Bonaventure Cemetery. Light over darkness. Life over death. Stick with the people that bring you breath.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. Have a heavenly week Flickr Friends!
Gathered prayers
Gathered hopes
Gathered dreams
of once we spoke
Making wishes and sending sweet dandilion kisses.
May the desires of your heart ring true and the Lord up above fully bless you.
Thank you for your kind favs and comments. I will float over to your photostreams soon.

Overwhelmed in the garden of Eden
in the garden of light,
You held me close, you held me tight.
I felt your presence, I felt your soul.
Your "foolish smile" still holds its youthful glow.
Colorful, radiating, fragrant, and bright;
like cascading wisteria on a Spring morning or aubergine Azaleas on a full moon night...
This was the day I saw your face.
This was the day full of heavenly grace.
This was the day that everything bloomed with delight.
This was the day that my soft petals were held by you...tenderly...
in the garden of light.
Bonaventure Cemetery is aptly named. It was a good adventure on a cool Spring morning.There was a wellspring of life and a flourishing of the soul. The cemetery became public in 1907 and became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt.
I hope you all have your own good adventures in the upcoming weekend. Thank you for your kind support, favs, and comments. They are much appreciated!
He ran his fingers across my very soul.
Now, there are special flowers that flourish and grow.
They light up and show me the way; the lit path to love.
If the flowers start to wilt and doubt, he waters them to help them out.
They shine and grow bold even when the outside becomes cold.
So my feet continues on; the lit path to love.
I am no longer lost in the dark.
I follow this path he planted on my heart.
In his presence I take great delight. He sends soft kisses especially at night.
The flowers and I glow on; the lit path to love.
There's a lot I could say about love. We all have our own opinions on what it entails. Yet, what does the Heavenly Father say it is? Intimacy begins with Him.
Be blessed today Flickr friends, for you are deeply loved.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments.
Tousled bedsheets;
remnants of the dragon's fire.
He had spread out his wings before me in the early afternoon wearing only sunshine and a smile.
Now, the sweet smell of blueberry pancakes wafts in the air waiting to be eaten, yet I was the one consumed.
A small peek at the intimate lives of leaves.
I hope you are all well and able to enjoy something sweet today. Thank you for the kind favs and comments.
One day you struggle, and I come to your aid.
The next day I struggle; your friendship never fades.
Life challenges never end.
It's how we choose to deal with them, my friend.
We can overcome together in any kind of weather.
We can celebrate life through the strife.
The chains of bondage were meant to be broken.
A chord of three once thought is now spoken.
Keep shining your light and I will shine mine.
Abandoned things will heal over time.
Thank you for your kind favs and comments. I pray you all have that one rare friend that sticks it out with you to the very end.
As I sat and pondered my life one day, waves of sorrow and joy came my way.
Acknowledging each one that passed by, they would make me laugh, sing, or cry.
My life is very colorful, genuine, and true. My life is fulling in some ways; both old and new.
Each day is a gift on these waves. Each day I pursue what I crave.
May you all use this time given to reflect, grow, and invite beauty into your soul.
I hope you are all well and safe on these ever moving waters of life. I look forward to visiting your part of the pond.
Thank you for your support, favs and kind comments. They and you are appreciated.

*This is my second installment of my Waterhouse Remembered series.
You sought me out among the flowers in your gardens; the bushes of delight.
You sought me out even in the thorns of the darkest of nights.
I felt you touch me
I felt you ever so near
I smell your aroma, so close...my dear.
Oh, the songs you make me sing!
Oh, the wonderful things you make me dream.
Oh, the marvelous person you make me be and become.
One day our songs will be as one.
Some people bring out the best in us just by being themselves. I hope your heart continues to sing during these times of separation.
Thank you for the kind favs, comments, and continued support. It makes my heart happy.
A little something experimental. I hope it brings joy to your heart too.
As I was wondering among the Myrtles one sunny day, a lone man came my way.
He stood underneath these overflowing trees, that brought forth life and he had good news, a message just for me.
My heart rejoiced and the flowers bloomed ever so brightly.
A sweet summer bouquet; an illustration of what is to come and what had happened under the Crepe Myrtle trees that day.
There is some debate over the spelling of a Crepe Myrtle tree. In the South, we prefer Crepe rather than Crape because of it's resemblance to crepe paper.
No matter how you spell it, I wish you all abundance of joy on this Sunday. Thank you for the kind favs and comments. I'm looking forward to catching up to with you all.
There are certain people that feel like home no matter where you are or where you go.
When you leave, they miss you.
When you come back, they are always happy to see you.
You are greeted at the door with a smile, a hello, and a big hug.
Home is being woken up with soft kisses and a gentle touch.
It's cozy snuggles, a warm heart, and lazy day naps together.
Home is helping each other grow and lifting each other up when low.
It's a reciprocal desire for one another.
It's a love and respect that transcends any house.
Home is the freedom of being accepted and appreciated for the person you are...for just being you.
Home is where you are able to express yourself and have someone listen; your opinion matters.
Home is sharing quality time and laughs together.
Home is security, foundation, and being chosen.
Home is many things to me.
What is "Home" to you?

Chloe is one of my most treasured companions and a great example of unconditional love. Thank you for being a beautiful model in many ways Chloe.
Thank you friends for your kind favs and comments. I will visit your Flickr Home soon!
I have traveled for a thousand years across a timeless universe.
I have looked into millions of eyes and escaped shooting stars and falling skies.
I have talked to billions of people, but what led me to you was a simple steeple.
I gazed into your soulfire and felt the cosmos burn.
After hearing your heart song, I made endless wishes, dreamed of blissful kisses, and watched the hourglass turn.
You are an eternal flame yet so much like a comet shooting across my sky.
You come to light me up and then flitter away with the wings of a galactic butterfly.
Your soulfire pulls me in ever so closer to the treasure; the prize.
Feeling the burn as I am lost, once more, in your eyes...
I thought to pair this image with a song, but how can you contain soulfire? It is not just one when it is in them all.
This is a double image of leaves that I took in April. I added a third layer with my star photography that I did back in September of Sagittarius and Scorpio.
I hope you all continue to let your soulfire burn as we head into May and hear the beautiful music of your own heart.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. I'll come visit your solar system soon.
You sang to me with lyrical romantic tunes while going along the winding roads in the early afternoon.
Basking in the sunshine of your words, I smiled so bright!
My eyes got a glimpse of your face, your light.
My ears got to hear you near, my dear.
My heart jumped in euphoric delight.
Serenading me with tenderness and songs of old. Telling me of long untouched emotion and yet, this was foretold.
Baritones and tenors would struggle to resound what you do so naturally and most profound.
Like floating on the wings of angels, the soft wind carried your voice from far away.
I'll always remember this song-filled and glorious day.
Just like when Adam met Eve for the first time in the flowering garden and everything was blessed, this is the very core of how to build a sweet melodic and harmonious nest.

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and I wish you all a very blessed New Year!
May your heart be continually filled with sunny love songs.
Thank you all for your continued support, comments, and favs. You and they are greatly appreciated.
For all the times my kisses were taken for granted,
I spread my seeds and now they are replanted.
The colors of new promises grow.
For all the times my love was neglected,
These new hopes in flourishing leaves got redirected.
The colors of new promises grow.
For all the times my worth was shoved down into a hole,
These fresh flowers joyfully bask in a new light and are beginning to grow.
The colors of new promises flow!
This is a mixed media photograph. One is a double image of flowers in light and the other is a double image of "lip art" that I completed last night.
Does anyone have a cure for chapped lips after kissing too much? Is there such a thing as having too many kisses?
I guess there's only one way to find out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v45F0YesdZM
Happy Valentine's Day!
No matter your storms, how long you stay away, your wounds, your chaos, or imperfections, I will be here with my hand reaching out for you, always.
You may think that you are protecting me. Yet, I am holding the umbrella, building the sanctuary; the home and providing the safe harbour for you, always.
Two arms are waiting when you are ready and able to walk through the open door, out of the storm to rest your weary mind, body, and spirit, and rejoice once more...and Always.
One of my all time favorite romantic movies is "Always". It's about letting go of the past and being ready, able, and willing to embrace the new. The in-between is filled with storms and putting out the fires that arise so that later on, when it's time, you can dance once more with someone who is also ready, willing, and able.
Here in Florida, I not only survived the storms, but became stronger than ever because of them.
I'll come visit your coastlines and photostreams with a liferaft when I am able. Rejoice in all your storms for the Lord is making a way! Thank you for the kind favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Hope fills my heart like the sweet smell of roses on a warm summer day:
We walked hand in hand in the fields and vowed never to stray.
You laid me down in the tall grass with the sun on my face and wiped all the tears away.
I gazed into your soulful eyes as you released, ignited, and surprised.
You gently but boldly touched my spirit, my core, my thighs.
I reached out with my soft hands and held you tight.
All your frustrations were no more then suddenly day turned into night.
Time stood still there in the fields on this warm summer yet to be.
Time stood still there in the fields in this future memory.
Put it in your pocket next to you.
Put it in your pocket if you are wise.
Pull it out and remember it like the first time we met and I gave you butterflies.
This is my next double image that I hope you all enjoy. As with all my images, I handcraft each one (no presets). I have been teaching myself new and different techniques over the course of the past few weeks. This particular one took almost 3 hours to complete.
I highly appreciate your support and patience Flickr Friends. I am looking forward to getting caught up with you all and hope your New Year was a delight. Have a great week!
In an upside down Labyrinth of a world,
we could lay under the stars or dance as the universe unfurls.
Waiting patiently for a star to fall...
When boy meets girl.
How fast time flies when dreams deliciously swirl.
We dream about the moments of ecstasy, longing, and desire,
participate in the fantasies (that just strokes the embers and makes the fire go higher).
However, we fully appreciate the reality and take time to touch base.
I think it's meant to be, just you and me, dancing face to face.
Whether it's gathering up lilies for a nest, chasing monkeys in a tent (that's what we do best), or trekking in the misty fields of nebulas,
There's no other place I would rather be than in your arms. Just you. Just me.
As the world falls upside down, paint me mornings of gold and green.
As you look into my eyes, I'll keep believing and trusting this one thing:
As with any good artist's painterly brush, when hearts are involved...there is no rush.
I hope you are all able to 'spin' this Valentine's Day with someone special.
Thank you for the kind favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. I hope you all have a great weekend ahead! ♡ ♡
When we live in season's past, we get swallowed alive.
I hope you all Spring forward in your journeys.
Happy Sunday Friends!
While dreaming under the Myrtle trees one summer day, my mind and heart was spirited away...to a magical kingdom of cats;
Where they walked on all fours, had quaint cozy houses, dressed in fancy clothes, and gave gifts to one another such as juicy mouses.
A princess landed where she did not want to be, but a dashing young baron kept her close company. He encouraged her to believe in herself and she began to trust this advice and made her way through this labyrinth we call life.
They narrowly escaped together on a bright sunny day. She was ever so fond of the Baron and wished he would stay. He was fond of her too, but circumstances caused him to float... gingerly away.
She was confident, however, that this was no ordinary friendship or cat. One day the winds of change would turn in her favor and he would show up... with a tip of his hat.
Fair weather friends come and go, but when someone stays...you just know; you've got a friend for all seasons. For those friends who show up in my life, you are greatly appreciated. Thanks for waiting during my strife.
Thank you all Flickr friends for your kind favs and comments, I will show up soon to view your work and sample your catnip.
A thousand stars, a thousand roses, only one wish she said as she danced across the heavens and laughed while casting her radiance and fragrance over me.
"Only you will have stars that can laugh."
"If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers."
This is my first official experiment with astral photography. I look forward to capturing the stars in a better "light" and clarity. The quotes are taken from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "The Little Prince."
In the upper left hand corner is the Trifid Nebula. May she laugh for you.
Happy Friday Flickr Friends! I hope each of you have a fabulous weekend and may you all learn to look with your heart to find your single rose.
I closed my eyes after I prayed and decided to let the Holy Spirit be my guide.
He took me along the surface of the rolling waves, then we dove in deep to the undercurrents and riptides.
We floated until we arrived where the water meets the sand. Then we began to walk until we reached dry land.
We frolicked across the rolling hills and fertile ground.
We walked further into the heart of Mother Nature and this is what we found:
Her heart was encased on the outside with warm jeweled tones of red, orange, and gold.
However, the inside was different; true treasures and riches it did hold.
Once I saw it, I wanted more and more. So I eagerly went to touch it to see what was at the very core.
Piercing the heart of hearts I did find something quiet, tender, and most profound. Her heart glowed blue; enflamed intense heat, overpowering and true... yet it was somehow on the ground.
I asked the spirit why it doesn't burn everything away.
He said, "My child, a pure heart won't destroy or decay. A pure heart will burn with passion, yes. A pure heart will wait to be picked up. A pure heart will continually love and bless. You see, love is the secret to youth. It is the well-spring of life in which all flows and is constantly renewed.
There is one thing you should know; love is a choice.
You choose to warm the heart of another soul and help it grow.
Mother Nature creates the seasons, but she is not seasonal. If you choose to take her and put her first, she will help you blossom in ways you previously thought were unfeasible.
Her love she will not hide. She will awaken the dawn in you and pull you in at noontide.
She will gently kiss you every sunset and in the midnight of age. She will always bring her light and lift your foggy haze.
All it takes is one leaf to float away....
One leaf from her heart is the start of an Eternal Spring."
Happy First Day of Fall!
I look forward to catching up with you all.
I hope your heart is happy and well.
I hope you have joy and someone who makes your heart swell. :)
They say home is where the heart is. Someone can have a home, but feel homeless. The heart is the seat of contentment.
I was blessed enough to have a mother that made me feel that home is wherever we are together. I think that is key: Finding someone that gives your heart a safe and loving home.
"Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you are not alone
Cause I'm gonna make this place your home."
A very happy Mother's Day weekend to the people in our lives that help us feel loved.
Through branches bare, the sun does gleam,
An orange glow, a twilight beam.
Its rays, like fire, gently creep,
Between the leaves, where shadows sleep.
A fleeting view, so soft, so bright,
The day's last kiss before the night.
In that brief moment, still and clear,
The world feels calm, the sky sincere.
Cherry blossoms in bloom
Soft pink and white petals gently unfold on the dark branches of this cherry tree (Prunus serrulata), announcing the arrival of spring. The delicate flowers, symbols of beauty and impermanence, sway lightly in the breeze, creating a dreamlike scene.
In Japan, these blossoms are celebrated during hanami, a time for admiring their fleeting splendor. Each petal seems to capture a moment of quiet poetry before drifting away, reminding us of the transient nature of life.
MARS 2025
Happy Easter everyone!
Way up high.
Now the bird is free,
Free again.
Free to chirp, free to sing,
A song of no end
I am doing a collaboration with McKayla for this poem! View McKayla's Here
I really had trouble editing this one. I had no idea what I wanted to do..I might replace it later with a new edit.
I left my camera charger down in FL..oops.
got a spare time for flickr.. will try to visit as much as I can before going back to work...
Enjoy your weekend, my friends!!!

Our tribute to a very talented artist and wonderful friend, imago2007
