Today is art day for me. This shot was taken by my mother at one of our outings to some Florida attraction when I was four years old. The photo, like many of the old family photos wasn't very good, but Mom, like most mothers, didn't care so much about the scenery as she did capturing her little girl's delight in seeing flamingos! She did a good job catching the expression of glee on my face, and I wanted to do something more artistic with it.
There's no way I can even begin to describe how I arrived at the finished product! This labor of love took about two hours and was at times very aggravating, and at other times, very satisfying. I love the particular texture I used and have used this one before. It always gives an unusual and fun effect. It seemed perfect for a child's portrait. So, today you can see a shot of me taken recently, and one taken more than 58 years earlier. Life goes by fast. Mom is gone now, but the memories and the joy she made sure I found in the little moments like this that we had remains.
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”

Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.

La felicità spesso si insinua attraverso una porta che non sapevi di aver lasciato aperta.

Bright colors make most people happy. That is why I created this image where the colors are dancing with each other. Hope it makes you feel good too and wishing you lots of happiness ;-))

This is the D-Tower, a project of the artist Q. Serafijn and architect Lars Spuybroek. The people of the town Doetinchem can participate too. This tower can change color and the mood of the participants decide which color it will be. Yellow = fear, green = hatred, red = love, ofcourse, and blue = happiness.

[...] Happiness is a warm puppy [...]
-- Quote by Charles M. Schultz, Linus in "Peanuts"
Rome, Italy (October, 2007)
Happiness rarely arrives by reason. It does not answer when called.
Sometimes, it simply appears — in a brief moment of laughter, before we even ask why.
It doesn’t promise clarity or permanence. Yet in that fragile instant, it proves one simple truth:
we are still alive, still capable of breathing without explanation.
In honor of Lelya, keeper of love — for all fragile moments that choose us.

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

So it's my friend, Kate's birthday today. How ironic I'm posting a picture of her here . Nope I had not planned for this. Obviously I haven't really been shooting lately as I'm still working on my images from last month's shoot. I stumbled on this one. Also I gifted her a canvas print of her portrait which she thought was utterly thoughtful. She loved it so much that it brought tears in her eyes haha !
It is times like this when you realise sometimes it is the smallest things like these that bring happiness . AAHHHHH !! :) Definitely doing this for everyone from now on hehe !!
