Golden Autumn Afternoon



There is nothing better then walking along the road and gazing out at the beautiful Autumn trees.  God's paintbrush has been to work this year with the very rich colorful trees.  I did have to help out this picture a bit.  A few nights before, we had a wind storm and it had knocked off some of the leaves.  So I was able to use a few Photoshop plug-ins to help blend in the bare trees and give them a little life.

Calling all Photoshop lovers!  If you would like to know of the plugins I used for this photo, I have provided the link to the plug in below.  It's called Color Efex from Nik Software.  It gave me the chance to really have the colors rich and vibrant.

As we approach this holiday season, I think we all have to remember to take one day at a time.  To live in the moment and appreicate all that is around us.

More then just a pink Hibiscus flower



There comes a time when you are truly proud of the smallest things like planting a flower in your backyard.  For many people, this is just not a big deal.


For me, it was! My husband planted this hibiscus bush in our backyard.  He does not like planting but he did it for me, so I can have this beautiful flower to photograph. 


I am dedicating this picture to my husband.  Thank you, my love!

"Fortress For Your Tears" by daphsam | RedBubble

"Fortress For Your Tears" by daphsam | RedBubble:

Where is your fortress of fears,
Does it cradle all your tears,


Will it hold through the years,
Don't self-destruct in front of your peers.

Fragile Yet Romantic Flower



 Beautiful flowers that just speak volumes of fragility, tenderness with a romantic side.  We all have one too, we just have to show it more to others.

Weather The Storm With Storm Trooper

Weather The Storm


Weather the storm, well, that's what I am doing right now.  Suffering from a back spasm that has me on medication and ice.  I am weather this storm of my body telling me that I have over done it.  But, as this Storm Trooper stand in crashing waves, rain pelting down on his body, he will stand strong and will keep going.  That's my message for all and something, that I will remind myself.

"Don't lose your head over a grade! ~ Clone War Troopers" Mounted Prints by daphsam | RedBubble:

As school finishes up and our kids will receive their grades, we have to remind them "Don't lose your head over a bad grade". It's not worth the worry, the tears and anxiety. We love our children and we always need to show them that great grades doesn't equal happiness.

Sweetness Framing Beauty


It's it fun to view the world through a child's eyes.  Everything seems so big, so amazing.  At what point as we age, do things like flowers, a bird chirping, freshly mowed grass become just noise.  We  get preoccupied with our daily life that we stop appreciating all the different sensory enjoyments of the world.  Let's be this child's hands framing this one flower.  Take the time to look at the beauty, the details of the petals and then zoom out to take in your surroundings.  It truly is a beautiful world, lets have fun in it.

Bottlebrush Flower


                          Taken in Jupiter, Florida.  This flower is part of the Callistemon species.  




Thoughts and musing of the day:  


Life is one many big, starts and stops. You have plan and you believe it's a sound one, then all of a sudden.  STOP!  Your plan needs to change and you have to come up with something different.  It's just hope that you can do it with grace and make the best of the new outlook you need to have.

A Day Not Forgotten


This was taken in Jupiter, Florida. It was a time when all I had time to do was snap a quick picture.  No playing with the dials and controls, just click and run after the children. But, I do remember the warm sea breeze and the feeling of peace and relaxation.

Happy Mother's Day




In this quiet forest there is this Mama mushroom hovering over her baby mushroom. Whether it’s water from the rains, rays from the sun, dropping acorns from the trees.
This Mama mushroom will stand by her babe and shield her from the wild life. As all Mothers of the world, we wear our heart on our sleeve for all to see.

Happy Mother's Day!

Beautiful Purple Flower




We have that moment in our lives, when we get to stand out from the rest of the crowd.  It's a fun and exciting time for us. Even if you don't get that chance to shine for the others, know that you are special in your own way. Even if the rest don't see it or appreciate. You will get that chance to be recognized for your talents and beauty.

Reflections Of A Sunflower

We may get frazzled at some point of the day.  Just remember on days like that, the true you is still in there. Stay strong, revive your goals. Carry on through the day.

Little White Flowers On A Spring Day


Beauty comes from inside of you, you do not need to change just to run with the crowds. It's your inner strength, your dreams, your gifts inside that makes you beautiful.
