Love One Another

Love one another

And you will be happy

It's as simple

And as difficult as that

Katie Bug

There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.

Unique

Decide who you are and revel in it.............

Photography Is Truth

I wanted to share some recent pictures I took. I have vowed to not leave the house without my camera. You never know what you will find.

I love old doors...



The colors in my new umbrella make me happy


Not the best shot, it's very grainy, but I love this street at night

My absolute favorite animal to shoot are cows, could only find horses this day though.
