Nature's Valentine

I have been away from this blog for quite some time.  Too many things going on in my life.

Today is the fourth Valentine's Day I've spent without my Beloved.  I miss him so much.  But rather than sit around feeling sad, I have chosen to celebrate my family and all the wonderful Friends God has brought into my life.  I couldn't have made it thus far without family and friends.  Thank you, dear ones.  You know who you are.

Blessings and peace to all those who face this day with a broken heart.  "Blessed are those who mourn, for the shall be comforted." ~Matthew 5:4

Shadow of Leaf Glow - Shadow Shot Sunday

This summer while visiting my parents, I noticed the delicate green of grape leaf glowing through the shadow of the dense overhead foliage.  Something about the contrast of fir needles and fragile leaves caught my eye.  Of course, I ran for my camera to capture this interesting shadow shot.
