Un bel instant, je pense, ou une petite fille bénie sa grand-mère en déposant des fleurs sur sa tête.
A beautiful moment, I think, or a blessed girl of her grandmother by depositing flowers on the head.
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?
He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.
And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.

Everyday these fishermen pull their nets around sunset at SeaView Beach, Karachi. After sorting out their catch they leave unwanted (usually small) fishes at the shore … some of these pull in by the sea water some become supper for the waiting birds and some stock is picked by the waiting people. These are those who can’t afford buying any kind of meat off the shelf but try their luck in these kinds of situations. Here, an old man with his grandchildren, picking up leftover small size fishes from the water for their dinner!
Today is the start of Creativity Boot Camp, and it's pushed me to journal again. Before we were married, I journaled more than daily, but since then it has been infrequent at best. It's something that I have noticed missing, an outlet that has disappeared, but that I'm certainly looking forward to regaining. So, here's to a renewal of old habits, to self-discovery, to the realization of how much of a blessing we all are to one another.

For the beautiful and talented Bonnie.

There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us
to learn from.

When you think of life, think first about the blessings you have. Don't focus on misfortunes, for they are but a faint shadow.

The monument to the Seraphim Bishop of Dmitrov. Martyr for the faith, is officially recognised as such in 2000, Bishop Seraphim, in the world Zvezdinskiy, suffered for the faith under the Soviet regime.
Actually, the oppression of the Church touched him back in the early 1920s, when the authorities sentenced him to exile, then it several times arrested and exiled.
Priest during his lifetime enjoyed considerable influence and respect among parishioners.
In 1937 the people's Commissariat of internal Affairs feel the need to get rid of unwanted and obstinate Bishop, and in the same year he was shot.
Now he (and partly, as stated, all victims of persecution), a monument to the side of the Cathedral of the Assumption in his former diocese in Dmitrov.
I count them everyday...
Today, I thanked the Lord for the blue sky,
The golden sun,
My bountiful garden overflowing with green and flowers.
I am thankful that it's summer and life is good.
I count my blessings, for I am truly blessed,
With the gift of each day.
Dear friends - these tulips are from me to you...for all your visits, comments and awards. I've reached 4,500 visits in 5 months. Bless you all x
Lighting a candle here tonight and thinking of a sweet first time mama who has started that beautiful dance to bring her babe earthside. ♥

The rain suddenly started falling...She walked towards the lake while she was waiting for her tour bus taking her to her next adventure... Then the swans joined her...
Like a blessing this rain came... Life is so beautiful... so so beautiful!
"Lord bless you all ever and ever — and may He lead you quickly out of this big humbug, the world! May you never be enchanted by this old witch, the world! May Shankara help you! May Umâ open the door of truth for you and take away all your delusions!"

In this pic, After Ganga Arti, this Aghori Baba (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aghori) appeared and the crowd nearly got mad to get a glimpse of him. He blessed everyone around and gave a "rudraksh" to everyone who came to him for blessings. This was shot when people were nearly fighting their way to reach him for blessing at Dsaswamegh Ghat at varanasi.
Totally trying this shot again once everyone goes home from the hospital when Abigail won't need to be wrapped up all the time and I have more control over lighting. If I'd been thinking, I would have asked her daddy to reverse his hands so the one with the wedding ring would be on the outside. Hindsight...
Abigail is much happier today. ;)
