Living In the Moment

I thought I would use this picture for today's post because it reminds me of a few years ago - I did this Tulip Photo Shoot - It was a beautiful, breezy day that I could have stayed there for hours on end - I disciplined myself to not look at my photos while taking them - Let it be a bigger surprise once I got home to download them. I have a few shots that I really like from this shoot, this is one of them. I hope you enjoy this photo - As much as I enjoyed this day ... Some days stay with us forever!

Another week has come to an end ~ Looking forward to a weekend with sunshine ~ We have had a full week of rain here in Massachusetts, it would be a real pleasure to get outdoors and enjoy! Wishing everyone a fun-filled weekend, whatever your plans are ...

ANGEL’S VIEW Views of early morning light, Filled with hours of dreamy nights Lying awake with a feeling, Hearts alive and ever reeling Next to a man who fate caught, Contentment is my only thought                        How did this happen - you and me, Our souls are open to whom we should be Breathing is easier for us, with all this, A glance, a hug or a simple kiss Slowly fading without a peep, Special times are those that we keep

I wanted to write to say that I have been adding poetry to my blog, to show another side of who I am. Photography is my first passion, first and foremost. I have to say that I am also quite happy when I am writing poetry and essays. I like writing from experiences I have had, and people I meet. I enjoy placing the words in a way, to tell a story. I hope my photography also tells a story. I started taking photos and writing at the age of 15 and I have always found myself going back to both during my free time. I hope everyone enjoys reading my work, as much as I have had creating it.

A NEW WORLD Take me to a new world … Show me a different adventure … Guide me to a new land … Lead me down a creative path … Introduce me to a new friend … Ask me to try something new … Help me create a new memory … Sing me a brand new song … Paint me a picture with many colors, Include me with my Sisters and Brothers Tell me we will relive it again, Someday … Bring me into a new world … Today

THIS IS THE DAY Some days are worth waiting for, This is one of them Some days you picture with the person made for you, This is the day Some days you remember the smell of the rain, This is one of them Some days make you smile inside, This is the day Some days you will remember forever, This is one of them Some days you look outdoors and you can see forever, This is the day Some days we witness magic happen, This is one of them Some days we feel like we can conquer the world, This is the day Some days are meant to spend taking them all in, This is one of them Some days are perfect, This is the day

ANGELS AMONG US What is it when we feel a chill Feelings around us, at times bring a thrill Stories of those before us are told, Memories and history are what we hold A soft voice that we sometimes hear Peacefulness is what we hold dear Stop for a moment and softly sigh, Great feelings make us want to cry We have been told that they come back Is it our wiits that we are starting to lack? What was that sound around the bend Seems this is turning more into a trend How do I react to such a fate Some people think - This is quite great Wishing for one more time to hear Waiting is the most difficult to bear

FINDING WHERE I BELONG Singing a favorite song Finding where I belong Going on my way Not certain of what to say Need to give something new a try Perhaps even say goodbye Finding out the need to play Only way to start a new day Future is looking bright I can finally see the light Smile is all I can do No time to feel blue Confidence is all I lack No time to keep looking back Knowing now I took too long Finding out where I belong
