You Can Open Your Gift Now!

Quotes
"Everyone is gifted, but some people never open their package."~unknown~
Loving quotes the way I do I signed up for a "quote of the day," thru http://www.finestquotes.com, on Wednesday of this week. Don't remember how I found this site, but am so glad that I did. 
Great minds have so much to say and what better way to condense thoughts than thru a quote.
Volumes can be understood thru just a few short words or phrases. 
I spend a great deal of time searching for the right quote to tie into a photo. Sometimes they come easy and sometimes it takes me quite a while. I received my first scheduled quote of the day yesterday from Finest Quotes and it just so happened to be the insightful words above. 
Hope I get lucky again today, if not I will continue to search, their is so much wisdom to be found and so much wisdom to live by! A few short words can make such an impact!
Have a wonderful day and go ahead and open your gift now! Imagine what could be inside!

Sunshine
"As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life."~John Lubbock~
Trying to live up to this quote by introducing you to yet another coneflower along with several filters and textures creating an artistic feel. Digital art is my medium of choice and the possibilities are endless.
I can't imagine my life without flowers, nor can I imagine my life without art in any medium. 
When I can bring flowers into permanent fruition thru my creative skills in any form, it is truly a marriage made in heaven. 
So please Mr. Sun, continue to color the flowers so that we may enjoy, bringing art to all those who choose to view what you have truly mastered! 
Have a wonderful day!

Summertime!

Summertime
"Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~
Yes, yes, yes, it is a happy time, the cone flowers are in full bloom, throwing back their petals, raising their heads up high, rejoicing in the glory of the sun! The earth is smiling, the birds are singing and the bees intoxicated from the indulgence of sweet nectar. Yes, it is summertime. Mother Nature's, extravagant gift to Mother Earth, herself. 
Children, wearing remnants of watermelon dripping from each scrumptious bite, followed by 
 popsicle smiles coating their quick licking little tongues. 
The cone flower blooming, significant timeframe for all memories that signify we are in full blown summer. 
Ah...a lazy summer afternoon, isn't that a pleasant, welcoming thought!
