a spirit of youth in everything...

“April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.” (william shakespeare)

This photo is my response to this challenge at The Four. I love this whole concept, creating a picture around a quote or a poem.

To Realize...

“To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.” (wallace stevens)

This photo is my response to this challenge at The Four. I love this whole concept, creating a picture around a quote or a poem. They picked a fascinating quote for this challenge, and I'm merely choosing a phrase to answer.

There is no artifice in this little one - she's so beautifully intent on getting through that glass. It's just a matter of how, and that doesn't really matter at all, does it, when she can see the other side already...

Bonus Shot Friday

This was yesterday. I need this today. But it's cold again today. Still, the sun is shining, and dinner is in the crockpot, and my shooting is done for the day, and a bit of housekeeping too.

And speaking of housekeeping, if you're interested in a print or a blog design of mine, stop in at today's housekeeping post over on my regular blog.

I just love this shot. Every time I look at it, I find myself breathing deep and long and closing my eyes to feel the wind sweeping those curtains up. I don't have a category for it or anything, so I'm instituting a Bonus Shot Friday (BSF). Because people don't really care what gets blogged on Friday. They're ready for Saturday and the in-between living we all do on the weekend. So here's a bonus shot.

So, what about you? Did you get a shot this week that didn't fit anywhere but in your heart? Here's a reason to share, share, share, so we all get in on the bonus!
