"The PRETTY PERFECTION of PEONIES"

2013-05-22T00:04:21Z

This morning after the rain, Larry picked these beauties from our garden, before the next storm destroys their delicate petals. I think peonies are the most beautiful of all spring flowers. They are fluffy, frilly, fragile, and fragrant!

DAYTRIPPIN' - "Ghost Town"

2013-05-20T23:56:23Z

The town of Calico Rock was once a thriving railroad town with high multi-colored bluffs above the White River. Now, parts of it are abandoned, but the site is a photographer's heaven!

"FIRST GLEAM of DAWN"

"The path of those who do what is right is like the FIRST GLEAM of DAWN, shining ever brighter till the full light of day." (The Holy Bible - Proverbs 4:18) Have a peaceful and restful Sunday.

DAYTRIPPIN' - "Bluegrass and BBQ"

2013-05-15T23:33:10Z

It time for the "Barbeque and Bluegrass Festival" at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. There's always good food and great music. Plus, all of the spring flowers are in bloom, so it's a picture everywhere you look! (These are unedited because I didn't have enough time.)

FEATHER-LIGHT

I was cleaning the patio for a dinner here tonight and noticed this tiny little feather stick on the tip of an old geranium stalk.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

2013-05-11T17:53:35Z

"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: 'There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!' Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised." (The Holy Bible - Proverbs 31:25-33) Have a peaceful and restful Mother's Day Sunday!

COWS vs HORSES - "GAME ON!"

I couldn't believe that there was a basketball in a field full of cattle! My mind took off from there...

TI - "SHADES OF PINK AND PURPLE"

2013-05-07T16:43:11Z

Thanks to Beth (Beth0110) for selecting this week's pretty theme. The “Tuesday Inspiration” began in 2009 when Stéfan and Helen started setting each other a photographic challenge on a Tuesday. Very soon afterwards, they decided to open this up to other PB members, followed by the idea that there should not be revealed what the subject is, so that other members could compare how different members view a single theme. The Tuesday Inspiration is not a contest or a challenge, but a group of people all agreeing to post their interpretation of a single theme on Tuesdays. Each week, one of the contributors sets the theme. There are now about 47 members contributing to the TI. We have only two “rules”: don’t include the subject in the TI title or tags and please comply with standard PB guidelines on courtesy. If you would like to take part, please send Helen a message through her blog, Girafferacing.

"WITH ALL MY HEART"
