Recent Best Shots :)

Hello... I am no longer flying solo :)

So...we didn't really have a photo challenge topic in mind...

but needed to 'get back in the saddle' so to speak...

so i suggested...

The Best Shots taken over the last week or two... 

ALSO

I said to include a quote or line from a song...

that best describes ourselves at this time...

Have spray-bottle...will spray :)

Just love this...make a wish...

On this day...it was dreary out...and normally i feel like my chance to take 'nice' photos...

vanishes along with the sun...but here i decided to prove to myself that i could still get a 'pretty' photo

even on a rainy day...

Plenty of rain fell...

and there i was...shooting away...rain falling softly at first and then...

getting down to business...my camera... under Bradley's Ben 10 kids umbrella...

me...my back...my bum...NOT SO MUCH lol

Look what the sun brought along with her when she returned the next day...

CRAZY...they had sprung up overnight...in patches...

mushroom forests :)

<3<3<3

The next 3 shots are of my favorite faces... 

my recent... favorite sun-kissed shots of  them :) 

Next...

One of my All-Time-Best-Shots...

the kind that keeps me coming back for more...

You wait and wait...feeling like a 'great' photo is about to happen...

you wait some more...almost giving up... deciding to just hang in there...

try to ignore sore arms and an eye tired of being scrunched up...finger on the trigger...

think of quitting again...but that 'feeling' keeps you rooted to the spot...

and then...I GotMyShot :)

#Thrilling 

My Quote = words from a song...

I was driving in my car on the highway...enjoying a new dawn...

blue sky and golden sun...trees...the veld...

when this song came on the radio...my first time hearing it...

this line gave me goosebumps...

still does :)

"I just want to FEEL this moment..."

because this thing we call 'life' is really just many moments...

...pearls...

strung together by time...and i don't want to miss a single moment...

by being numb...complacent...

And now for my partner in crime :)

Best 5

All these photos were taken on our holiday to Madeira during the Easter holidays.

Merita's Quote:

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

it's about learning to dance in the rain..."

Published...and then returned to add the song i speak of...
