Photos 30-36/365

Ice coated Magnolia leaf found at Shepherd & Sons Funeral Home today.

34/365 ~ The Cat in the Window, Jordan's Lane, Hendersonville

Gentle eyes that see so much,

paws that have the quiet touch,

Purrs to signal "all is well"

and show more love than words could tell.

Graceful movements touched with pride,

a calming presence by our side --

A friendship that takes time to grow --

Small wonder why we love them so.

33/365 ~ The Amaryllis is also known as the belladonna lily or naked lady. The genus has two species and the more famous of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest region near the Cape. Thank you to Jean Owenby at Forget Me Not Florist on Asheville Hwy for allowing me to come in a photograph her beautiful flowers. And even though it was obvious she was closing up, she patiently let me snap, snap, snap until I got the perfect angle for this amaryllis.

32/365 ~ Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter. ~Ansel Adams

Today's story was fog and drizzle. I love lines and I loved the way these power towers disappeared into the fog. I'm sure if you're from Brevard you know where I am. I decided to take the back roads home today.

31/365 ~ Tulip Still Life

The theme for this week's DPS 365 Assignment is Still Life: Flowers. This is my first attempt and it probably sucks. I stole the flower from the arrangement at our lobby desk, propped it up on a frame on my desk, dropped my black coat behind and turned on the desk light and shot. The color of the tulip is spot on, so for that I am grateful. It's resting on one of my favorite photos of me and Frank so I like it just for that. Tada - 31 days in a row completed. Bring on February!

30/365 ~ Kisses for Mommy

A kiss from me,

a kiss to you;

a kiss for

everything you do.

A kiss for love,

for wrongs and rights;

a kiss and a hug

for a mommy who's smile is so bright.
