Shutterday- Rain!

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." ~ Ashley Smith

"Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity. " ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you." ~ Langston Hughes

This week’s Photography Challenge: ‘Crooked – Straight’


~ Path to the river...


Doesn't the path look inviting? and just thinking of a swim in the ice cold river water makes me want to crack open all the ice trays and fill up the cooler some bottles of water and cold tea and slap together some sandwiches and head out.. I haven't been to the river in a few years... We never seem to have time to do things that we used to do... even a day-cation to the river would surely be refreshing for all of us.. It is simply hot.. Too hot to cook.. too hot to sleep... too hot to almost everything... Thanks for stopping by my blog.. I love comments!! Have a great day!!
