Lusciously beautiful.....we had the clouds and rain, and then fragrant wisteria and lilacs.
Can it be much better?
I think not...

XXOO~~

I would call this a jewel tree!

THE SKY’S A MOST WONDERFUL THING

The sky’s a most wonderful thing,
Within it some strange creatures sing:
The angels and such;
But dragons? Not much—
They’d rather breathe fire and take wing.

I just got caught up on your last few posts. I love your series of flower photos, particularly the ones in this post and the previous one of the crab apple blossoms. May, when these flowers come out and fill the air with their sweet scent before raining down like confetti, is my favorite month and I've always known that I wanted to get married in mid-May some day and have my photo taken with my husband under a flowering crab apple tree :o)

Blossoms against a blue sky after a gentle bath - is there anything finer? Gorgeous shots!

Hope you have a beautiful weekend, Laura.

marvelous shots..I love the first one and the last.

Laura...When I look one tree I think about the life...and the way that we walk since our birth until our death...pure reflection.

Everyday I learn more and more with the nature...
nice day

Gorgeous Laura! And I love your words! This sunday started with sunshine, but it turned to a rainy day. But all the plants needed it! And I guess miraculous things will happen when the sun comes back :o)

Wish you a great weekend!

Love Irene

What a beautiful flowering tree! We have been tracking the clouds a lot in recent days, trying to predict what the weather will be. After all the rain that is predicted for the next few days I am looking forward to blooming flowers and clouds.

Laura, I love how you take us from the divine to the particular in these gorgeous apple blossom photographs. And then as I look into the face of the blossoms--there is the face of the divine once again!

I have tried to comment since last week but either blogger having issues or my computer or an interuption kept me from doing so...so finally I am here. :) When I read what you had written about being up and about...and "doing mom stuff" so you are not able to read and comment like normal, I literally cried tears of joy. My friend, this made my day. Please don't ever apologize about living life.

Such beautiful captures...and yes such a blessing...just as you are to me...you bless me with your heart and the love and sweetness you have shared so freely with me.

I love you my friend. I am hugging you through my screen and sending you lots of love. (((Laura)))

PS And just so you know...I know that even when you don't comment or have a chance to read, that you are thinking of me and others...just as I am of you when I am not able to make the connection through reading or words. :)

Bright Sparks:

Remnants

Before the eMeS, my now constant companion begged me to stay close to home, I taught art, yoga and meditation to Jewish teens in the Greater Boston area. The collage series in the slide show above was created using forgotten paper scraps that slipped between the cracks of the tables onto the floor, from an Art as a Sacred Practice class I taught to High School students several years ago. My intention was to find the intrinsic value in each remnant. Often the beauty of an individual person goes unrecognized or unappreciated until it is revealed in the context of a relationship; the same is true of colors, shapes and textures. Click on the images to take a closer look. They are tiny works, some no bigger than 1.5” x 1.5”
