Sunshine

These photographs were taken at the end of September 2012. It seems like yesterday that these sun beauties were glistening and inviting. I have missed you all and hope you enjoy!

Sunday Post: Delicious

Here are just a few of the delicious delights I love to indulge in. I love natural foods for their extraordinary flavors. Lemon-lime water quenches my thirst in an instant. Definitely a necessity living in Florida.

Brown rice with veggies and shrimp is a weekly staple in my house. It is a healthy meal full of flavor and deliciousness! For lunch is normally a green salad topped with EVOO and dessert some fruit.

Thanks to one of my husbands co-worker’s we discovered Mangos last year. I have been hooked ever since. When they are in season I eat a few per week. As you can see above, we enjoy sharing them as a snack together. Last but not least, when watermelon season roles around I am in heaven!

I hope you have enjoyed this post! To check out more DELICIOUS posts or to enter your own click on the dragon below!

Unique

I think this duck is beautiful. When I spotted this duck I was in awe. This was the first time I have laid my eyes on a duck with this type of unique marking. Simply beautiful. I hope you enjoy.

I also wanted to thank all of my supporters. I noticed that I have had close to 1500 likes! Personally, I do not aim for likes but must admit, it sure feels good to know that my photograph’s affect so many of you. Thank you all so very much!! With gratitude 🙂

Peaceful

I have been editing this picture for sometime. The original was taken in color and I converted to B&W. When I took the picture, I felt peaceful and felt the B&W depicts how I felt better than the color image. I hope you enjoy! Thank you for stopping by!

Weathered

Lessons from a Dragonfly

A dragonfly accepts it’s brevity of life
With its gossamer wings feeling the breeze
Full of freedom it watches our joy and our strife
Its wisdom learned flitting from water to air to trees
With wings that shimmer showing purpose and duty
Obedient to all of life’s changes in flight
Modestly it shows us its outer beauty
Always gracious, mindful and full of delight
So whether what life gives you is good, bad, or sad
Show others that inner beauty counts and matters
Make your actions amount to many smiles and be glad
For the dragonfly knows it lives a brief life this way
So I learn from this creature to live wisely each day
And make every minute special to those that you love
As the dragonfly watches our actions from above

~Ruth O’Neill
