Whenever I experience something beautiful, I am with Soul. That moment of inward breath, that pause and awareness of “how beautiful this is” is a prayer of appreciation, a moment of gratitude in which I behold beauty and am one with it.

Adorable! It must have been a beautiful wedding. Now you can put your feet up and rest.
It was (beautiful), Anhinga. And having my granddaughter as the flower girl was icing on the cake.
As for putting my feet up, I wasn’t going to today and then decided I agree with you.
So sweet! Love how you processed this. Timeless!!!
Thank you, Marcie.
Cute! It looks like it was a beautiful day for the wedding.
Very beautiful, Corina. Alas, too beautiful for the bride who has a problem with her eyes (she can’t take bright light) and would have preferred a cloudy day.
Good crop. Sweet thing, she looks a bit nervous. Are you back to more normal?
Not quite normal yet, Bo. I decided to relax today and just soak things in. Tomorrow is soon enough to start putting things back to normal.
The flower girl (aka my granddaughter) wasn’t nervous at this point since it was taken after her big part in the wedding. I think she was watching a butterfly or some other flying creature.
A beautiful flower girl in a captivating image. Magical… she looks like an angel. What is neat about this photo is she is looking one way and the statue figures are looking the other way.
Thanks, Anna.
I thought that was neat too.
Such a pretty shot!
Thank you, Ombudsben.
What a great shot. Really lush background, and I love her expression.
Thank you, Ybonesy.
Cute pic! Glad to hear you have lots of creative projects in the works:)
Thanks, Bookbabie.
Maybe too many creative projects in the works…
