photo du jour - pink birthday bouquet

“Lean forward into your life...catch the best bits and the finest wind. 

Just tip your feathers in flight a wee bit and

 see how dramatically that small lean can change your life.” 

― Mary Anne Radmacher.

Sharing my beautiful pink birthday bouquet with 

Beverly

These photos were taken by the SP using our ipad, afterwards he "sketched" the flowers for me,

isn't it lovely?

Shadow Shot Sunday - Plantation style in Georgia

For Shadow Shot Sunday this week I'm sharing some shadow captures, from our trip to Savannah, GA in 2010.
I rediscovered them whilst sifting through the hundreds of photographs, that I've taken on my travels with Diane, in preparation of her birthday album.

One of the most beautiful places that Diane and I have visited was a private plantation home

 outside of Savannah.

She told me that the chigger infested Spanish moss growing in the old live oaks 

was historically used to stuff mattresses and why

 generations of mothers whisper to their children at bedtime

Good night, sleep tight,

Don’t let the bedbugs bite.

But I don't know? Is it true?

Herefordshire Doors

Whether you're a "toff", a horse or a tea room

you can certainly have a door to be proud of in Herefordshire, UK.

Joining Louis La Vache for Monday Doorways.

Why not fly over to beautiful San Fran and check out more doorways from around the world.

Elvis's Pink Cadillac @ Graceland

Whilst going through my photograph memories of trips I've taken with my dear friend Diane,

 in preparation of a mini album that I'm creating for her (don't tell, it's a surprise),

I came across some from our visit to Graceland, Tennessee in September 2005.

I just knew it would be perfect for Beverly's Pink Saturday gathering @ How Sweet The Sound. 

Remember, for some us, Elvis is still in the building!

taken during that special trip.
