« love thursday: love and joy »

More gerberas. Someone once told me they couldn't look at gerberas without feeling happy. I agree. Photographed with Nikon D300, 50mm manual lens.

"Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love."

Updated to share with you another lovely little quote that I just found over at Sarah Brown's blog:

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

-- Plato

    Good morning! Today we’re pulling up camp and leaving Lake Placid. It’s been mostly dark and dreary with a few brief periods of sunshine, but even with the black clouds, I have to admit that the scenery up here is rather fantastic. Yesterda...

It's my 40th birthday today. I thought your pages would be the best place to start my day. I was right. Thanks! Happy Love Thursday (and Happy Birthday to me). :)

I've never been able to fully appreciate gerberas because my mother used to call them 'gas-station flowers'. These are wonderful though!

My post today is of a very different kind of love: http://qussa.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/love-thursday-war-torn-cities/

Happy Love Thursday!

I thought that said they couldn't look at gerbils without feeling happy. I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm a bit disappointed now.
