Hope Springs Eternal — Cherry Blossoms on a Foggy Morning

March 22, 2012 by carol anne Leave a Comment

You know what gives me hope? There are plants that grow in the absence of light, there are sea creatures that exist at depths no light can reach and from winter comes spring.

For the past few days our front tree has had buds on it but no blooms. Other trees in the development bloomed and blossomed but not ours. We’ve had beautiful bright sunny afternoons all week and I was sure I’d look out one afternoon and the tree would be full of cherry blossoms. But, alas it was not to be. And then, this morning I awoke to the first blooms of spring. After a dark damp night and foggy morning the tree finally blossomed. If that isn’t a metaphor for life nothing is.

365 Days of Carol Anne (Learning to Love Myself)

April 5, 2011 by carol anne 4 Comments

Day 95

Can you believe it? In 5 days we’ll be 100 days in to 2011. Amazing! This year seems to just be flying by.

I had a really good day today. Once the rain cleared in late afternoon there were moments of beautiful white glorious sunshine so I got to spend some time outside taking photos of my newly blossoming tree and front yard daffodils. I really love to take photos and as my knowledge grows and I get better at it I enjoy it even more. It was great to have time to mess around trying manual settings and it was nice to be out in the cool (very cool) crisp air doing what I love to do. A few of the photos I took today are below.

Thanks so much for coming by every day to read and comment. I love you all.

Love,

~ me ~

This could be one of my most favorite photos I've ever taken
