Repetition Upon Repetition

Recently I entered a photo race where the assignment was Repetition.  I had never looked for repetition before but it is everywhere.  Even in our heads.

Any idea, plan, or purpose

 may be placed in the mind

through repetition of thought.

Spread the Joy

Patience

Once upon a time I thought I wanted to be an artist.

I wanted to paint beautiful watercolors and sketch in great detail objects, people and places.

I went so far as to buy art books and supplies and invited someone to teach me how to draw.

I was given the assignment of drawing a flower.

I thought it would be easy.

It took forever.

Well, not forever, but do you know how many strokes it takes to make a flower?

It seemed like a million.

I don't have the patience and determination to be an artist but some people do.

This is what patience and determination create. 



Two Hearts

This family has three handsome little boys but they longed for a little girl....

and they were so excited when they found out they were expecting a baby.



The day came when they could take a peek via ultra sound and the technician found not one heart...

but two........belonging to two little girls :-)



Retired Snow Skis

A few weeks ago, while traveling out of town, we saw this unusual next to a store we had just visited.  The owner was coming through the gate and, when asked, he said he didn't mind sharing his fence with photographers.  He said that in the fall when the leaves on the trees are turning yellow brides and grooms come to have their pictures taken in front of his fence.  The owner was pretty proud of his fence and I think rightly so. 

Iron Work

Up close and personal with art.

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while,
but our hearts forever.
