May Flowers Always Line Your Path

May flowers always line your path 

and sunshine light your day. 

May songbirds serenade you 

every step along the way. 

May a rainbow run beside you 

in a sky that's always blue. 

And may happiness fill your heart each day 

your whole life through.

Shine Your Light

When there is silence, 

 Give your voice. 
 When there is darkness, 
 Shine your light. 
 When there is desperation, 
 Offer hope.

Little Dots of Light

It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.

Blue Jay Bokeh

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.

Magical Moment

Magical places are always beautiful and deserve to be contemplated ... Always stay on the bridge between the invisible and the visible.

Dragonfly captured in flight over the pond at the Izaak Walton Park

It's ALWAYS magical to catch a dragonfly in flight - and the bokeh over the pond was an added bonus! 

Shining Through

Looking up through the leaves

I am intrigued by the sunburst that shines through the leaves

My attempt of a "close-up" of the sunburst :) 

This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today.......

~ Hermann Hesse

How thought provoking ..... every moment we live is a "once in a lifetime" moment - and will never happen again .... All the more reason to Cherish Every Moment

Find The Light

 There is light in darkness, you just have to find it.

~ Bell Hooks

With Open Eyes and An Open Heart

Awareness is a choice, and sometimes it takes effort. But it’s never disappointing if we truly put some effort into it. The rewards for our effort already surround us all the time, but they’re awards that we miss constantly until we make the decision to open our eyes and our hearts to the beauty that’s always everywhere.

Let The Light In

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. 

 ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

The Greatest Treasures

Simplicity, patience, compassion. 

These three are your greatest treasures. 

Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

~ Lao Tzu

Sunlight Dances on a Dandy

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. 

 ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.
