One could have all riches
that one could possibly want
and live in the most exotic and wonderful place, yet if that one has not Love within the Heart no Peace would be Home within that Heart.

(Yes, these photos were taken with my 60mm macro lens. This lens has become my favorite one. I am in awe of what it can do.)

I shot in tungsien WB (either that or flourescent) deliberately to get that blue hue. I was experimenting and when I saw the results I said COOL! (smile) So, the words that you see here fit perfectly with the blue pix, and so I created this. So glad you saw this post and it resonated with you, Tiny. I’ve experienced these words.

Tiny, I am known to um “not” follow the rules. Do things different. Do the unknown. Choose the path less traveled. I really thank you for the compliment, Tiny.

This is what makes photography so exciting for me. You have a wonderful day!!! I am going for a ride in the country to see what I can find. (((HUGS))) Amy

So True Amy without Love in our hearts it matters not the amount of riches… Love fills us up to over-flowing.. And your wonderful photo’s always fill my heart with a warm smile.. For I am seeing through your eyes the wonderful beauty of Mother Nature in your corner of the world.. And she is as Magnificent as the one taking the photo’s LOL..
And of course I will always find time Amy to visit.. Its been a long while almost if not over 3 weeks..
But I needed the rest away from blog land,
I am only logging on for a couple of hours each day for a while until the projects I have got going get finished..
Who ever said life begins at 40 was wrong.. It begins at 60 and I am so pleased now that I made the decision to retire early..
Even though at times I feel a little strange to be able to pick and choose and please myself.. I am loving the feeling of Freedom and the stress is finally leaving me.. xxx
Much love Amy..

Retirement is a HUGE transition, going from an existence of having someone’s else’s structure to occupy our time, to learning to have our own structure. Life is just beginning for me, Sue, at 57. I’ve worked up to where I am, yes, but now, it seems I am about to really begin to move forward. Some days I can barely breathe. Like today. Hehehehehe I had planned on going into the country to get shots of trees that are beginning to turn, but this day is not allowing me the way. Perhaps still yet, this evening I shall go. I prefer twilight and evening sun to photograph anyways. We’ll see. I still have to put a post together for the morrow. Yiveh! LOL With Much Love, and (((HUGS))) Amy
