On a bright sunny Spring day in Philadelphia, a day when I ran in the fresh warm air past blooming tulips... after strolling through the main street of my little neighborhood and looking into calming meditation classes... where I caught up with old friends over a homemade and festive meal... While cutting fruit for sangria, this insignificant thing, this orange with its bright juicy colors and straight lines caught my eye as being so beautiful. I thought this photograph to be a nice, refreshing representation of today as well as the start of Spring... the beginning of a warm season.

ReplyDeleteCecil F. Alexander pretty much said the same thing back in Ireland 162 years ago.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you sang her "blog post" when you were little, but "All Things Bright And Beautiful" more or less conveys the same thing. Might not hurt to look up the lyrics.
Funny what you appreciate when you get back from a deployment. Things that you may have taken for granted prior to sitting in the desert for some time. For me it was walking through a fully stocked grocery store.
You write as often as I do :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, I just looked at this blog for the first time in months (OBVIOUSLY!) and saw that y'all commented! Haha, well, thanks! I'll try to keep up with this more. I have been doing artsy craftsy stuff... just haven't posted it on here. As you're all on my FB, you may have already seen the next few posts, but I'll put them up anyway. :)
