Open Window

The cool spring breeze through the open window
is like a long forgotten soft caress across my left cheek.

I lay my head upon my hands and watch my daughter ride
her bike back and forth in the street below.

The soft wind carries her beyond her small world below the open
window as she stands up on her bike and pushes her pedals as fast as she can go.

I see the clouds billowing out, beckoning my dreams to climb upon them and rest.

The curiosity of our four legged companion reminds me that miracles come in small doses
as I unhook her from her leash to explore the world below that open window.

A smile slowly spreads across my face as I watch my world blooming below the open window.

I am reminded of how much I am blessed of the small stuff that makes the world below
my open window feel so sweet as a soft caress.

Signs of Spring

"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world." ~ Virgil A. Kraft



Yesterday as I was letting my dog outside, I kept hearing a loud chirping sound and discovered that a baby bird was out taking flying lessons. I crept quite close to it and watched in wonder as this newly gift of spring cried out for its parents. The bird stuck around long enough for me to be able to capture a few images of this sweet gift of spring.

Hanging on forever

A few weeks ago I took my daughter to the park on a particular warm day. As she merrily played with all the other children whose parents had flocked to the same park, I snapped images of the trees surrounding the area. I am always amazed at how the trees survive the harsh conditions that mother nature puts them under, it makes one reflect on how much one survives in their trials that one is put under daily, weekly, monthly....

I saw this little, dried leaf still hanging on after all that it went through last fall, and was intrigued by its tenacity to still hang on even though its life was long gone. Spring is fast approaching, and this little dried leaf would soon be replaced by a fresh green sprig, yet somehow it still clung to the branch that gave it life.

I am looking forward to the warm weather and this photograph reminds me that I should embrace the season and slow down a bit instead of rushing through my life, so enjoy the photograph and have a great evening!
