This pearl crescent butterfly is very tiny and often overlooked, yet it is very beautiful. I’ve chosen to include it on this birthday greeting card because butterflies are symbolic of life as they emerge from lowly caterpillars to exquisite creatures. I’ve also included a favorite quotation of mine written by Father Henri J. M. Nouwen about the importance of celebrating birthdays. I hope this might be the perfect card for that special someone on his or her special day. Here are Father Nouwen’s words: “Birthdays need to be celebrated. I think it is more important to celebrate a birthday than a successful exam, a promotion, or a victory. Because to celebrate a birthday means to say to someone, ‘Thank you for being you.’ Celebrating a birthday is exalting life and being glad for it. On a birthday, we do not say, ‘Thank you for what you did, or said, or accomplished.’ No, we say, ‘Thank you for being born and being among us.’ “

I love observing the detail in flower buds. The bud of the Cosmos is very interesting to view close up, although they mostly go unnoticed next to its beautiful flowers.

I don’t think there is any other flower like a Rose, that can say so much with so little….and with that I will let the photo itself speak….

This viola has a happy face! It sprang up from seed several years after the original plant had died.

This is a small “slice” of my mother’s garden; she is a master gardener. Anything she plants thrives beautifully, and my father is just as good as she is. He saves watermelon and tomato seeds when he eats at restaurants, dries them, plants them, and harvests a good crop later on. What a wonder my parents are; truly their hearts are in the garden.

Well, Gary & I went to the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo today. Not as early as I had hoped because someone slept too long and it wasn’t me. So unfortunately we were not there at 6: 30 a.m. for the start of lift off. More like after 8:00 and a lot of the balloons were already in the sky. Of course then the battery ran out in my camera and I had to use my son’s, which is a Kodak V1073 Touchscreen Digital 10 Megapixals. The zoom is not as good as mine, but I think this and the next few turned out o.k. / Enjoy, / Teri / / / /

My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree / Toward heaven still, / And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill / Beside it, and there may be two or three / Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough. / But I am done with apple-picking now. / Essence of winter sleep is on the night, / The scent of apples: I am drowsing off. / I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight / I got from looking through a pane of glass / I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough / And held against the world of hoary grass. / It melted, and I let it fall and break. / But I was well / Upon my way to sleep before it fell, / And I could tell / What form my dreaming was about to take. / Magnified apples appear and disappear, / Stem end and blossom end, / And every fleck of russet showing clear. / My instep arch not only keeps the ache, / It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round. / I feel the ladder sway as the boughs bend. / And I keep hearing from the cellar bin / The rumbling sound / Of load on load of apples coming in. / For I have had too much / Of apple-picking: I am overtired / Of the great harvest I myself desired. / There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch, / Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall. / For all / That struck the earth, / No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble, / Went surely to the cider-apple heap / As of no worth. / One can see what will trouble / This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is. / Were he not gone, / The woodchuck could say whether it’s like his / Long sleep, as I describe its coming on, / Or just some human sleep...After Apple Picking Robert Frost Watercolour, Acrylics, Mixed Media on Arches Not Paper 18×20 FEATURED IN BITS AND PIECES
