A Rose

A rose lit by the setting sun.

We look at it and do not think about its battle to become the big beautiful blossom that it is.  

We only see the beautiful result of its life.

People, like the rose, have challenges and celebrations.  We need to remember that our challenges help us to become the big beautiful blossom that will inspire others as well as bring them hope and peace.  We also need to periodically look at our own progress and acknowledge our beauty -- look past the battle scars.

The Sun, The Moon or ?

I leave to go somewhere at 7:30pm.

I see the moon is absolutely gorgeous.  Then I look behind me there it is even more awesome.

Of course, my inexperience and need to leave sooner than later does not do nature justice.

Yes, I am very much feeling my inadequacy.  But, also hope that it can and will be overcome.

Is it good to see within the square?

Photography Challenge:  See the square.

The questions:  How many squares are there?

How many different ways are there to view a square?  

How many different ways are there to view multiple squares?

Is it good to view things within the box? without the box?

Beautiful Day, Full of Hope

With each new sunrise comes opportunities.

Today I will recognize the opportunity.

Today I will seize the opportunity.

Today I will begin to work the opportunity.

A New Day!

Gold from Heaven.
