Beauty

We have this beautiful flowering plant in our apartment and it adds such color and delight when the rich fuschia blooms open wide. I tried to capture the essence it here, but as always, the pictures just don't do it justice.

And for a different kind of beauty (I got a real kick out of this picture...no pun intended!)...
(from www.flickr.com... not my belly for those of you wondering-!)

Thank you God for making so many beautiful things for us to enjoy!

I've always admired your photography skills. The close-ups of the flowers remind me of those flowers in the garden in Prague. *sigh* good times, good times. The "kick" picture was priceless. I love you and miss you a ton!!

Ooh, what a lovely picture! All of them! ;o) That would be cool if that were actually your tummy. Are a baby's outlines really that distinct?

Hey, I wanted to say thanks for all your visits and comments on my blog lately, Allison. I appreciate it a lot that you've been reading and then sharing your thoughts about what I wrote. Makes me feel like there's a purpose to my writing. :o)

Hugs,
C.
