More Beauty




The more carefully I look, the more beauty I see.





Typing her Science summary this morning







Another bromeliad flower spike this week, two days between the photos above.







Even the pesky onion weed now flowering is beautiful.




She may seem shy, but she's not camera shy for me!  :)

Hope you are finding more beauty in your week too.


Sharing at Alicia's WW, This or That Thursday, Sneak Peek Friday.

  6. Your gorgeous lovely looking daughters appear to be so different from one another. The first, doing the wonderful needlework, has a Pre-raphalite quality to her. I hope she takes this as a compliment as I think they are really beautiful.

  7. Dear Rosemary, Miss E (now 20) takes this as a great compliment. She is a keen student of the Arts. Miss E's hair is also beautiful and very long, long enough to sit on.

  16. They all make me smile. Can't believe you're the mom to 8 children--I'm exhausted thinking about it--but I know each and every day is full of adventure. We have one, away at college, and he calls me each day about each adventure he has--he keeps me in stitches. Hope you're having a good week.

  19. Your daughters cross stitch is gorgeous, it's a large project that I am sure has developed perseverance and patience!
    Gorgeous captures as always, your creamy backgrounds are flawless! But the best capture of all...a wide eyed, enthusiastic daughter!

  35. Such wonderful photos! Lovely flowers and lovely daughters. There is so much beauty in our world! I am so grateful for mine...I know you are for yours!

    By the way, hollyhocks are a common American bloom, but kind've old-fashioned. A lot of people don't bother to grow them anymore, and I just love them! Thanks for your encouraging comments about my photos!
