Miracles are neither grand nor earth-shaking.

They come unbidden, like a

quiet surprise just for you.

They come undeserved, for you

do not need to earn them.

They are sprinkles of time

in an ordinary day

which add a special quality

that feels like love.

Miracles are a subtle offering

that only need a

caring heart to land within.


Don't miss the miracles!

I'm here because ...

I believe we are put here to give each other both inspiration and support.
My adorable nephew Kevin gave me some of both.
For Christmas one year I asked him to help me start my own blog. With characteristic enthusiasm, he did just that! I felt as if I were asking for the moon, some impossible task I set before him. To my delight, he set up my blog ... he sent me explicit, illustrated instructions ... and a book with tips and good examples of the potential blogging offers.
Kevin, you're my hero. I turned to you because I knew you had experience with your own blog (my inspiration) and because of your own forthright sharing of photography and writing (more inspiration). Your encouragement and unconditional support made me believe I could do this. And I have.

May your kindness come back to you tenfold. Aunt J

The beginning of the world ... again

The ritual of spring is the vivid, inspiring return of growing things. The cycle proclaims that new life rise up from last season's growth. 





Here are some of the scenes that brought my camera to my eye on a walk in a favorite woods last Sunday. 



The freshness and the vitality and the richness of color is like no other. Spring green. 




We had a spell of rain that caused some flooding, but in nature it created beauty. 



Spring. It is a phenomenon that makes us young and puts a lightness in our step. And just like youth, it is over all too quickly.


Don't miss the miracles.
