after your subject.

my form of relaxation.

...august break-day nineteen...

here’s the plan for the August break: you simply share one photo (or more!) per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you want. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, 35mm, video – with or without words – anything goes – for the whole of August. No pressure - just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging.There are NO RULES! Just sunshine (hopefully) and a bit of fun. And lots of lovely photos to look at.

...8.15.10...

my sunday morning

came on saturday.

i had so hoped

to capture.

him.

coming to his new life.

but.

under the cover of darkness.

and.

all alone.

he came to be.

without me.

i wasn't there.

to tell him.

he was going to be okay.

i wasn't there .

to tell him.

to be patient.

good things were coming.

he knew.

all on his own.

that is.

this miracle of nature.

that is.

this miracle of life.

through the darkness.

through the cocoon

that life has wrapped around us.

we are never alone.

Someone.

is always there.

cheering us on.

showing the way.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

...august break-day fourteen...

however, a sensitive reader--

and all children are sensitive readers--

notices that the little rabbit begins

to show signs of being real from

the moment that he learns

that such a thing is possible.

the essence of what is real--

kindness, empathy and individuality--

is already inside the rabbit.

it was born in him.

but the pressure of living among

toys who value only mechanical perfection

and the most modern ideas--

the way people prize technology

and follow momentary fads--

made him insecure.

it would take some time for him

to feel secure and completely comfortable

just being himself.

but the process was helped by the love he received

as he allowed himself to be ever more honest

about who he really was

on the inside.

~the velveteen principles

toni raiten-d'antonia

i love this book.

...to be ever more honest

about who he really

was

on

the

inside.

you know it's there...

who or what

is stopping you

from believing

in

you.

light + objects = shadows

HEY HARRIET

for more shadows

than you thought possible.

happy birthday grandma byers...

you are loved beyond this life...for always.

just BE.
