Sun Kisses... view large!

    Newer Older

    View On Black

    evening sun kisses the Thistle blossoms as I drove by with my friend... he willingly stopped when I hollered... and this is what I saw.
    blessings from the sun, sitting lightly upon each blossom, like loving kisses from mother or father... light can fill our hearts to chase away shadows, and we can shine our light forth to warm the hearts of others!!!

    I will be gone a few days, off to see my daughter at a Renaissance fair in GIg Harbor, Washington... so maybe I will bring you something different! Wishing you all well for the weekend, may you see moments in time that catch your heart and make you stop and go AAHHHHHH!!!!

    update, 8-20, brief check in from Seattle.. THANK YOU ALL for the wonderful comments and response to this photo!!!! I am amazed and delighted!
