Happy Valentine's Day

The Big Five

LITTLE MISS RUBY

Little Miss Ruby sat on a sofa,

playing with ribbons and bows...

along came her grandma and sat down beside her,

and tickled her pink little toes....

Grandma's Logging Camp

SUNDAY MORNING SUNRISE

a silver slipper adorns the sky

the last to leave the glittery gala...

the morning arrives with a gentle light

to bid the guests a kiss good-bye...

the nighttime secrets are ushered away
as a sleeping beauty slowly awakes...

the sky is washed with colorful hues
in preparation for a brand new day...



hills sing out in a joyful welcome
and fields join in the bright chorus

yesterday is now in the past

let's see what today can become.

RAINY DAY BEAUTY

pattering umbrellas and swishing streets...
spirits leading toward rain and slosh and gray...
passing branches reach out to touch my thoughts...
surprising me with the beauty of the day...


from elegant fingers drops of rain hanging like gems...
sparkling my mood away...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

Make a wish....

...believe in love...

...dreams come true....


...and bring the blessings of a brand new year...
