what a morning. sigh. there are just some mornings, that one can barely have their eyes open, and "it" begins. glad that part of the day is over. ; ) ova, fin, done. lol
so i come here to place peace, soften the journey, see how you all are doing.
today is filled with...
steinbeck... my daughter reads- "a few miles south of soledad, the salinas river drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green..."
i run my hand over the page, gently pressing the spine. smiling to myself, thinking, yes this read is a requirement, but this time with them, is just an incredible feeling.
the photo above was on a roll of film, from this past spring. flowers wrapped in yellow paper. it was a bit blown out. i placed a texture over it, and it somehow touches my soul. ; )
a song~ la vie en rose, anyone? the photo of louis, sitting in the road, at sunset... deep sigh, for love. it's on repeat on my i pod today. ; )
happy day, my friends.
25 ladlefuls of love:
Oh, what a perfect song for today.
Lovely picture, Christina. I was just thinking of pulling out my film camera and shooting old school.

I love your header and this photo is beautiful.
intriguing texture and such interest this photo of your flowers has for me! lovely, lovely
I love this photo...it looks like a painting!
I remember reading John Steinbeck in school, but reading that line you've posted is making me think I should read it again. I *know* I wasn't fully digesting his words when I was young!
i am in love with that photo. and your words are always full of such warmth.
I just love La Vie en Rose. Perfect!!!
I love this photo!! So beautiful and I love the texture you applied to it!

have a joyous first day of december!
The picture is wonderful with the texture added. Ahhh, Steinbeck, a very good read. Have a lovely day. I am off for a couple days of adventure with daughter. Must go.
Had to come back and add my praise to the list! What a gorgeous rich glowing image, a new favorite!
Awesome texture, you do them so well, they become evocative.
words read aloud hold such power and intimacy. such lucky children you have. in my next life, i want you to be my mother.
