I Heart faces "Beautiful Eyes"

I stumbled upon this photo challenge over on I Heart Faces, and decided that I would

participate, because portraits really are my favorite photos to take.

The little girl featured here is a dear friend to us, more like family really, I am honored to

share this picture and send her our blessings and love as she is getting ready to go back for her second open heart surgery in the next few weeks. She is a little warrior goddess full of heart and

...Beautiful Eyes...

Wandering Wednesday~a photo challenge

Joining Gardenmama on a journey of feet, where do they take us and what stories do they tell.

Yesterday this is where I wandered...

Here I stand or rather sit, at waters edge with my son floating towards me, it fills me with joy to observe how he is almost swimming and how he has reached this point all on his own, the process of natural learning, I am loving it...

Here I sit gently supporting an almost swimming child,
it is hot and the water too is almost warm, we float for hours...

Here I sit with one child hanging on and one swimming under, it is hard to imagine that autumn will soon be here, I gratefully soak up all the sun is offering..

Today this is where I wandered...

Here I stand amidst fields of flowers, it is hot, it is quiet and peaceful, the children run close by excited about the two chicks just hatched following mother hen around, we are in the country and we are happy.

Here I stand on an old country lane, the lure of wild flowers has beckoned me to follow, my soul is at rest, nature fills my every sense, in the distance I hear the children laughing and laughing..

Here I stand in the tall tall grass, I am hesitant... I want to stay yet it is time to go..

We have our arms filled with beautiful yellow flowers and as we wave goodbye, we close our eyes looking to the moment in time when we will once again live in the rural country side..

~happy wandering to you all~
