- Had to bust open a frozen bag of peas and carrots to get at the peas today. Picked through to get peas, and realized I had to cook them al dente to poof up for color. Fun playtime, view large here

Image Photoshopped from my original macro this morning. It was fun to try for this shot, but the message is quite serious. With my son stationed in Iraq right now, this turn to a new year brings new determination to positively effect change however I can. And this timeless wish expressed is all I can think of as 2007 dawns.

This is bittersweet, my friend. Fun and whimsical, yet sadness that your son is not with you, esp. over the holiday season. I will remain positive, and send my peaceful prayers your way. Wishing you a happy and heathy 2007, BJ. xo

I also want to send you my best wishes for the year 2007 and, most of all, that your son will come home very soon. I don´t dare to imagine, what I ´d feel about my son´s being there.
What a wonderful idea with the peace pasta!
Thank you so much for your very kind words! I have no problem with inserted pictures:)!

Thank you all, my friends, for your visits and comments this day! I did not say it earlier, but my use of food items for this image is tied to my desire that at the very least, could we at least get food to all those starving in our world at this time. Such a simple thing, provide food. And then, perhaps more medical and health care? All the values of so many of the governments in this world seem so caught up in politics and power, militarism and control. I wonder how much more peaceful this world could be if people were just plain allowed to BE.

Your New Year's wish for the world has made it to Flickr's Front Page - Explore - and that is WELL deserved.
Here's hoping your Son and the rest of your family are safe throughout 2007.

Wow, what a thing to happen! Last year my horses made Explore for Patagonia images in 2005/2006, and then my yellow blooms on a weed made it too. This is quite fun, and a tribute to friendship on flickr as much as anything. Bless you all and thank you for all your support this year and as always. Happy New Year, indeed! BTW, peace please, or should I say "peas please".
