Bloom

April 16th, 2009

Today felt like spring.

I walked around my house and took a close look at our precious James and Jake trees and they took my breath away, with their simple green buds.

Soon, they will bloom.

Today, I have spent much time reflecting, missing, loving and dreaming.  And gazing at these beautiful trees.

    There is something quite uplifting about the 4th photo. It’s very calming and soothing. You should get it blown up on a canvas and hang it (or them!) on a wall in your house. Beautiful shots.

    I agree with Francesca. You should definitely put pics of these beautiful trees up in your house. Maybe even take pictures of them every spring as keepsakes of how they’ve changed. In a special way it would kind of be like watching James & Jake grow.

    Enjoy the beautiful day!

    Sarah M’s idea is beautiful ~ is it wrong of me to still wish that you’d never had to plant the trees to start with though? ((((HUGS))))

    I think the first picture is my favorite. What a precious reminder that James and Jake are always with you.

    It has to be so bittersweet to see these tree’s grow new life every year.

    Hi Beth-

    Just wanted to let you know that I received my copy of the Shred in the mail today AND I just got back from buying the hand weights. I wouldn’t be even thinking of doing this if it wasn’t for you. I look to you for so much inspiration and ways to change my life!

    Thank YOU!

    I just love these shots! My trees are also starting to look like this, thank goodness!

    And I feel like I failed for missing You Capture this week! It was a really tough theme, and I was out of town yesterday afternoon until this morning, so it was hard for me to post! I’ll be back next week! I have lots of “letters” ideas!
