blooming blossoms on flowering tree

"do you not see
that you and I
are as the branches of one tree?
with your rejoicing 
comes my laughter;
with your sadness
start my tears
love,
could life be otherwise
with you and me?"

Bryson's Grocery-

I actually took this pic a week or two back, but I've been working on it pretty much the whole time...finally got it looking like I wanted today-  It's kind of a George impersonation with regards to the processing -- actually, he gave me quite a few pointers(Thanks!).  I like it-
DailyPhotos > popular all-time > Going through some galleries today, trying to get caught up with viewing some of the galleries in the community, I was reminded of how fortunate I am to be a part of this community.  The sheer volume of great shots on any given day is in itself quite a feat.  But the sense of sharing and support throughout this community is what I find so special about the daily group.  We are from so many different places, with so many different backgrounds but we have this common interest.  In a world that seems to try and find so many ways to find our differences, to find ways of separating us, this group helps remind us what we have to share, reminds us of the ways we are alike.

We are a photography group and the talent on display here is outstanding.  You are all so creative, so talented, and so ready to help.  It is a gift to be able to share your worlds through your photographs, captions, and comments.

Today’s iPod tune is by Weather Report, the song is titled “Black Market” from the “Black Market” album.  The album was released in 1976 but is just as amazing today as it was back then.  The artists on the album included the late Jaco Pastorius who was a jazz pioneer with the fretless bass.
DailyPhotos > popular all-time > August 6, 2008... I am amazed at all the cards and flowers that we have received in memory of my mom.  She was an amazing woman that touched the lives of many people.

These flowers were waiting for me at work this afternoon! My mom would have loved them! Naturally... I had to take a photo.  

Thank you, Terry! :-)

Yesterday I said I'd save the story regarding 'the eyes' for another day!

A couple of years ago, my dear, dear friend Rikki bestowed upon me this beautifully decorated Jock Strap, as my Christmas present!!!  Why?  you might be thinking to yourself--or most probably asking outloud to your computer monitor--!!  Because she could!

After the laughter subsided when I opened it--in front of several others--Rikki told the story about the night she was creating her 'new idea'.  She said that I called her to chat about the upcoming annual Christmas get-together we would be attending. And during the conversation, I randomly asked her if she ever experienced any times where she ever caught herself doing something which was just totally superfluous, and  seemingly a waste of time??  She said she could hardly contain herself, because as we were talking she was sewing eyes, lips, hair, etc. on to a Jock Strap!!!!
*******************************************************************************
This was brought on by the fact that several months earlier, at my birthday party, Rikki received a prize during a game:  a very prettily wrapped box containing a case of jock straps!!
********************************************************************************
That's our story, and we're stickin' to it!  (And it lives on!)

HELLOOO!!!
 I've certainly experienced a wonderfully busy several weeks!!  One month ago today, I was heading out for my annual camping trip with the Ladies; a week and a half  later, I experienced the incredible opportunity of going to the Big Island of Hawaii to visit with my two sons, who are living in Hilo!!  My daughter was able to come join us, which lifted my visit to the ultimate---I was spending time with all three of my children, while together in Paradise!! 
It was a fabulous week, and I loved every minute of it....until it was time to leave!  :(

This shot was taken at Richardson's Beach, which is not too far from the airport in Hilo.  L to R:  Travis, Me, Kamryn, Evan

I did take my laptop to Hawaii, and had plans to download photos each evening,  and then post  the days favorites as DP's!  However, the internet didn't work with my computer.
 I wasn't able to spend time dealing with the camping trip photos before I began taking photos in Hawaii.....now I am feeling a touch overwhelmed! This passion (obsession!?!?) I have for taking photos has created one heck of a job --even from just these last two trips--in sorting, organizing, creating galleries, etc., etc. (I'm certain that some DP community members can relate!?!?)
I returned home yesterday, and have at least begun the process!!  And I must tell you....choosing which photos to post in my DP galleries is very difficult!!  But....that is, in fact, the worst problem I have had today!!!!


I've included two additional Hawaii photos in my Contender gallery: 
Richardson's Reflections

Yes! These flowers are real!!

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened Door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today.  -Rascal Flatts

Some of the lyrics from Rascal Flatt's well-known song. Wasn't able to post yesterday because I was in bed sick all day...felt like I had been hit by a bus while taking this shot!  Feeling a bit better today...a bit.  Tomorrow will be better I hope!  At least I am able to sit up today and eat something. :)

my apologies to those who are not feet lovers. i hate my feet but i do love all of these!
