You know that moment when you figure sunrise color was a bust then a magical hole appears in the clouds. Just enough for the sun to pop through and radiate through the layers. Color was brief, but so happy I found it. Mission accomplished. Botnay Bay, South Carolina

As a parent, there are days you feel "how will I get through this?" "I am so tired" or "I can't wait till their grown"

 

But as my youngest's wedding nears closer and closer, I realize I am beginning to become sad. My heart will have an emptiness, I know.

 

I will miss him but on the same note, very happy for the new roads yet to come for him.

 

Just being a MOM -- I guess.

 

To Danny, My Son,

 

Rascal Flatts My Wish Lyrics

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,

and each road leads you where you want to go,

and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

And if one door opens to another door closed,

I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,

if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

 

But more than anything, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

 

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,

all the ones who love you, in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

and you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,

and always give more than you take.

 

But More than anything, Yeah, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah.

 

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

Hi, in my interpretation I have chosen our beloved Danbo for an just cause, I think. Daily sitting, lying or who are begging on the street in hot or cold, we kind-hearted, not see them. For us they are invisible.

All and all the photographic set was created by me.

 

Note well the details, the wall looks like an american construction, the phone also.

 

The murales instead recalls Paternò, my little country, at the feet of Etna in Sicily (Italy), and I with the red shirt.

This is one of many Yosemite photographs I shot the day after Christmas. Yosemite on Badger Pass, inspired by another flickr friend, Mark Niebauer, whom I believe has a brilliant capture of this area.

I'm not a perfect person

As many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why I need you to hear

And the reason is you

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

No soy una persona perfecta

Como muchas cosas que me gustaría no hacer

Pero sigo aprendiendo

Nunca quise hacerte esas cosas que usted

Y lo que tengo que decir antes de irme

Que yo sólo quiero que sepas

 

He encontrado una razón para mí

Para cambiar quien solía ser

Una razón para empezar de nuevo

y la razón por la que se

 

Lamento que te hice daño

Es algo que debo vivir todos los días

Y todo el dolor que te hice pasar

Deseo que podría tomar todo por la borda

Y ser el que atrapa todas tus lágrimas

Es por eso que necesito que oigas

Que la razón eres tu

Merry christmas and happy new year! Let's hope the new year of 2012 will be favorable for photography and exploring of nature. Ofcourse couple of volcanoes and unexpected adventures would be great too ;-)

 

This is a self-portrait inside a recently formed ice cave in the glaciers on the south coast of Iceland. Entering this cave is only possible in a freezing period due to the "floor" is actually a small lagoon.

The only way I could get "close'ish" was to sit for 2hrs in the bushes,hoping she would show.I had watched her for the previous week and took a chance on my location....If she had landed on a different post I would have missed the shot.

Luckily she had her fingers (legs) crossed for me.
