It's the Little Things In Life


How many people do you think stopped to enjoy the lovely repetitious angles that the shadow and the bench afforded us here? 



I'd be willing to bench all of my bet on the 'no one else' answer. Sorry, no pun intended. Tunnel vision. Distracted by that running list of all the things you need to get accomplished in the next hour, the day, all take away from our ability to notice and savor the little things in life.


I had to kneel down for this shot and I vaguely recall a few passers by wondering why I was doing that. Even in a city that is full of artists.



And these luscious gems! I nearly broke my neck doing a double take when I saw them. Kind of wish I owned this pair of shoes too-but I hardly have the occasion here in NM to wear heels like that. But, It wasn't just the shoes that caught my eye, but how the shadow of the heels made them appear to continue into the ledge they sat on.

Ah!!! It's the little things in life that bring me great joy! 

I hope you have a day full of the little things in life.


"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see." (Martin Luther King)

Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted! You can view all of my 2011 Shadow Shot Sunday images on my Flickr account. Click here to view them.

For Rebecca

This is for you, my dear, sweet Rebecca.
May all the guardian angels watch over and guide you and keep you safe from all harm.


And, I found this lovely haiku that Joe Spado wrote for you 
(I don't think he'll mind my putting it here):
Prayers rise from ashes
Pure healing thoughts sent your way
Sweet smudge aroma


Many healing thoughts and prayers are being sent your way (for others reading this, I hope you'll join me).
