This lady-bug is on vacation, and will return on July 2nd. My husband and I will be staying in a nice little house on a pond in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. You can bet there will be plenty of pictures when I return, and I look forward to catching up with all of your wonderful photos as well.
Today I have had this blog for six months! Whoo hoo! :-)

Up on the house top
"...I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know He watches me."
From the hymn, "His eye is on the sparrow".

Innocence
"All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence."
-Luis Buñuel (Spanish Film Director, 1900-1983)

Clover Flower
"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee;
One clover, and a bee, and revery. The revery alone will do if bees are few . . ."

Love in my father's eyes
My brother John took this picture on my wedding day; back in 1991 of my father and I, and it has been one of my most cherished pictures.
There aren't any other pictures of just my father and I that I'm aware of, but this sweet photo more than makes up for it with his wonderful expression of love.
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, and I know this to be a fact.
Happy Father's Day, Dad ~ I love you, too. :-)

Say aaaaahhh!
It's finally Friday!
Have a great weekend, everyone. :-)
"I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest."
-Quote by Mr. Turkentine from the movie 'Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'

"And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything as you like it, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose, and it's always daisy-time."

Close Inspection

Home Sweet Home
This was taken on a short walk with my father up the street from where I grew up. Until a few years ago cows would be wandering around in this field. Our neighbor, the farmer passed away last year.

Sky sight
I took this shot last Friday on my lunch hour. I thought the clouds were interesting, and it was just one of those shots you don't think will be anything special. After uploading later at home I was staring at it trying to think of a title when I saw the face. To me it looks like a buddhist monk. One never knows who's watching and looking out for you!

This beautiful Pink Lady's Slipper was found next to a trail in the Blue Hills yesterday morning where I was out hiking with my husband. There were five of them in this little spot!

Ripples on the lake
"When heart is filled with love, your actions will also be full of love. In a well, if you throw a stone, the ripples created on the surface of water cover the area of the well. In the lake of your mind you throw a stone of good thoughts it will spread all over the body. From head to toe such thoughts will spread over."
