Life has many roads
And can take many turns.
All we can do it face what's ahead of us
With a Positive Attitude.

HOPE YOU ARE ALL HAVING A GOOD SUMMER.

Not quite fall but getting closer lol.
Beautiful image and beautiful words Laura! We were blessed with another little grandson this summer, William Gordon, so it was a special summer for us!

  WOW! I'm sitting here with goosebumps, SSSLala. How creative. And what a beautiful creation. Oh, I can just feel her! And I LOVE that the girl is in color and the scenery is in B&W. Like she's for real and the rest is her dream.

  Wow, Pom. The girl in blue headed into the b&w unknown is such a striking contrast. I like Kiki's interpretation: "(The girl)'s for real and the rest is her dream...."
A lovely poem, too. We can always use a gentle reminder to look for the positive.
Terrific job, as always!!

  Hi Guys! YEP! Things are always changing. That is one thing we can count on in life. One day winter here finally ended and the warm air came. Then is was downright hot here for a short time and then next thing we know the leaves are turning yellow right before our eyes. A big wind came last night and now all the leaves are RIGHT OFF THE TREES! Nothing stays the same. But guess what All of my lady bugs are hiding under the leaves and they look so cute under there. :)))

There is always a silver lining.

WE ALL MUST CARRY ON and SMILE if we can! :) AND WE WILL.

Thanks again everyone!

-Laura :D

  Hi Gina! Hi Robert!

Our Canadian Rocky nature pathes often have those raised roots and I find them so interesting that sometimes I skip the wild flowers and have more fun balancing roots into my frames.

In black and white they look suspenseful, don't they?

Thanks you two! :)
