Meet Princess Ayra Paige............ 2 weeks old ........ and the A team.............

 I had a beautiful day with 2 little princesses on Friday Afternoon...............I knew their mamma when she was growing up and her aunts, uncles, grandparents, and well the entire family.   I went to the house totally expecting to do a "sports" shoot. You see "mamma" drove a car with a pretend softball cracked back windshield well into her adult years.  She grew up a turtle  hunter, river rat  and made mud pies with my daughter Kelly.   I don't know why I thought Katie would be raising her little girls to be tough and "sporty."  Well, needless to say I quickly learned that I was entering the kingdom of the two "Princess Dukes" full of sparkly things and toots and dance and .......and ..........and.....

I attempted to get a photo of two week old AYRA with a pink softball, well at two weeks old, she just wasn't having it.......... she likes the bling, just as her big sister AUDREY DOES,  they will both wear glass slippers and sparkly red ruby ones, I predict....... and oh let me tell you ....... there are "no favorite princesses" according to Audrey, they like them ALL!

 WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JOB , MY KATIE BOO IS DOING RAISING HER TWO LITTLE PRINCESSES.............. THE IMAGES ARE MAGICAL......DON'T YA THINK?

MAY PHOTO A DAY CHALLENGE day 18 : "WANT"

MAY PHOTO A DAY CHALLENGE day 18 :   "WANT"

I think about the word "want" and I think about that movie that Sandra Bullock starred in and the correct answer is "world peace"  thats what you are supposed to say when you are asked if you could have one wish.   "Have one wish" equates to ....... what do you wish for .............. or want?   The intangible verses the tangible.  

I told a reporter once that interviewed me for "saving money" if I would still do what I do if I won the lottery.  Well, yes............. I do what I do from a passion not from a need............ it may have started as a need but has developed into a lifestyle.  I know no other way 

Because I can satisfy most of my "wants" with a handy dandy credit card, good deal alert, contest or what ever , my wants are basic need wants..  I basically need health insurance,  or assured medical care in the case that I get ill and cannot afford treatment. I want for my legal issues to all be resolved.   I want my children to be happy.  I want people to stay out of my "happy place"   I want want want a lot of things................ but they are almost all not tangible.  Tangible is a "will there is a way" thing, intangible is hope, prayer, faith, karma and positive energy and "the secret" rolled into one. 

SOOOOO  if I have to share a photo of what I want......... I have to think really hard........ I guess what I want a beach house, a new laptop, a car, an airconditioning unit fix, my yard rid of poison ivy and renewed to an outdoor paradise .............. all boring and not photogenic...........

so .............. for my photo .......... of a "want"   I will just put it out there............this is what makes the world go round, makes world peace and makes all of the intangible tangible and in memory of my dad....... whose name was BUDDY, this was taken at BUDDYS ON THE BEACH IN TOPSAIL..........  it just fits

May Photo Daily Challenge Day #17 Season

May Photo Daily Challenge  Day #17 :   Season

 

dumb phone pic........... but you can see it..... :)

Caliente........... that is the word that comes to mind when I think of "season"  I like it hot.   The weather, the passion, the shower, the tub and just like hot in general.   tropics and summer are the "season" for me.

and then ......then I think of season in a different way like in the poems and scriptures where they talk of the seasons of your life ..... birth through death..... and think of the best times of my life and how I am entering my final seasons now instead of my beginning ones and how bitter sweet that is......

and then I think of the best seasons of all..........the kind we use on our FOOD........ and I think about my home state and my bff, karla's home town........ pride and joy.......and I smile as I say the name of the season..... my favorite LOL I think you will love it, it supports small business, small town and tastes good too..... even saying the names tastes good......  :)
