Celebrating Green...

Today for Beyond Layers we are asked to celebrate in the glorious color

GREEN.

So first, I share with you,

a picture of me

Taken by Victor M. Chavez at the
S.A. Botanical Gardens

followed by some of my 

TREASURES

taken over the years

(2010-2011)

at various locations including

The San Antonio Botanical Gardens:

The Sesquicentennial State Park

and

Riverbank Zoo

in South Carolina:

And, near my home in Live Oak, Texas

GREEN overload?

Perhaps...

But what can I say?

Nature photography is my fav!

Shhhh....

Just as in earthy life

lovers long for the moment when

they are able to breathe forth

their love for each other,

to let their souls blend

in a soft whisper

so the mystic longs

for the moment when in prayer

he can,

as it were,

creep into God.

~Soren Kierkegaard

Without words...

There is a wonderful challenge...

this month at Deviant Scrap.

This was created by HollieWood Studios at Deviant Scrap

Come on by and give Art Journaling a try!

Spread your wings...

soar...

fly...

Or if you are feeling down in the dumps,

the way I have,

journal about that.

Let your heart speak.

Let it guide your wings...

Created with Marta van Eck's My Journal

My journaling reads:

I feel as though I should be bird-like:

free    untroubled   light-hearted.

But I am not. I am scared.

I am damaged.
