WINTER BERRIES

Scarlet berries break the grey winter, life stripped to its bones pristine under the cover of snow beauty skin deep pierced by thorns dripping blood seeds of life. ~~~~ I am so looking forward to spring.  In the dead of winter, even the Barberry bush that I normally do not care for, has its merits. 

CIRCLES WITH SENTIMENTAL VALUE

If I would have the will (and I pray so), I will not be posting this Holy Week.   So, I am having a little posting party this Sunday night by  joining Cee’s and Jake’s photo prompts this week, Circles and Curves, and Sentimental Value, respectively. I had a difficult time deciding what to post

SUNDAY POST: CAPTIVATING

Nah, I do not have photos of grand scenery and landscapes.  Rather, I have pictures of roses, one of my absolute favorite flowers.   They are always beautiful and captivating.  They are even more so when they are given by someone with much love and thought.     The past weeks had been a busy

SUNDAY POST: HOPE

Because I am a mother and I do believe that this world belongs to the future – Just because, I need something feel – good for this theme (and something to more or less fit this photo even when the letters turned out to be green, bleh!)  🙂    – Because I like poems and

So, Jakesprinter wants to see some Christmas from us.  And Christmas is what he will get. 😉 C is for children and cookies.  They go together. H is for Happiness that especially shows after receiving a nice gift. 🙂 R is for the rising sun that I chanced upon on Christmas morning, lending the snow

SUNDAY POST: NATURAL RESOURCES

First of all, my apologies for being unable to visit and comment to as many blogs as I could these past few days.  We spent our holidays in Maine and we had a busy and fun time with family.  Thank you all for visiting me anyway. 🙂 Second, Rommel of The Sophomore Slump so kindly

SUNDAY POST: SURROUNDINGS

Empty tables, empty chairs squirrels nesting in their lairs barren trees lining the street  leaves crunching under your feet help yourself to autumn’s treat.  I am joining Jakesprinter’s SUNDAY POST:  SURROUNDINGS.  Please visit his page for some great graphics and wonderful responses. 🙂

SUNDAY POST: WONDERFUL

For Jake’s Sunday Post theme, I am posting something that I posted in my old blog.  It was my little attempt to capture the beauty and magic  of a baby.   Jake’s theme this week is “WONDERFUL”.   I was thinking about those things that I consider wonderful:  flowers, ponds, vacations, scenery, a delicious birthday

SUNDAY POST: (SWAN LAKE IN THE ) CITY

To respond to Jake’s challenge this week, CITY, I decided to go on a walking tour of my little New England City fondly nicknamed The Silver City. A hundred or so years ago, Taunton, as it is called, was the home of factories that produced fine silver goods. These factories included Reed & Barton, Poole
