Finding the Beauty

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA One of the things I find most beautiful are the soulful eyes of a retired racing Greyhound. Geterbug is no longer with us but she came to us blind and in her eyes, though sightless, her soul remained. What a lovely, lovely girl. She remains such a bright spot in my life though gone for many years.

Mixed Signals

This taken in Downtown Minneapolis where a lot seems to be going on on this corner and it isn’t even road construction season.

On A Cold, Clear Day

  This is a reflection of steam rising from one building’s chimney being reflected in an adjacent building in downtown Minneapolis (taken about 2 weeks ago).

And a bit of a different view….something you don’t see as much of during warmer temperatures.

Sepia Scene #69 From Florida Flea Market

SONY DSC

This is my first attempt at a Sepia Scene and thought this would be a nice photo to begin with. It was taken a little over a month ago at Market of Marion Flea Market in Belleview, FL.  I was visiting my parents there and we went through the market mostly to have something to do. My blog will include more photos from this flea market as time moves on.

Endless

Never ending…. the candles go on….Mother to Daughter, life goes on. The world would be a very dark place without this endless cycle of love and light help us find our way.SONY DSC

These photos were taken at a Florida Flea Market while on a recent trip to be with my parents. A Flea Market is, for those who haven’t experienced one, an open-air market selling cheap and often second-hand goods. However, the goods these days are not always cheap and most of goods are no longer ‘second-hand’. This particular Flea Market has some very expensive wares and a lot of art along with the regular craft ‘goods’ and off the wall items. I wandered along until I came across these very beautiful mirrors, some were married with fountains and aquariums. In the photo above, This particular one I was taken with was adorned with candles. As I stopped to take the photos I had no idea I was taking a Mother-Daughter portrait as well (see above photo). Beautiful.

SONY DSC Mom on her own…equally as lovely.

A Little ‘Light’ Piano Playing

SONY DSC

I have been unable to post for a while but am back and glad to be able to take part in James’ ‘Weekend Reflections’ meme this week.

This week I have selected an old painting of a mother playing the piano with her little daughter dreamily gazing into space while listening to the lovely tune. An old time chandelier is reflecting in the glass covering that is protecting the painting.

Weekend Reflection

This reflection is one that I see all the time and never really noticed it until I was taking some photos of the furkids last night while sitting at my computer.

This is the background artwork on the desktop of my laptop computer. With the lamp on, the photos on the wall reflect into my laptop screen and create this view.
