He knows he’s beautiful!

He knows that I know he’s beautiful.

So, in a rare moment of vanity, Mr. C posed for me. A star is born…

She said that that was what star quality was – that little something extra. Well, you’ve got it!

Norma Maine, A Star is Born (1954)

Don’t sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
I know the apple tree is reserved for you and me
And I’ll be true till you come marchin’ home

Here are the tulips, budded and full-blown,
their swoops and dips, their gloss and poses, the satin of their darks

Margaret Atwood, Dearly

A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.

Beach vs Poolside

It’s snowing outside. I’d take either one!!

The sassy green boots that inspired my blog

Boots that were so caked in mud (socks too) that we had to go barefoot to get inside.

Sometimes the wilderness is in your neighbourhood. This is Shantzy. She lives next door.

Like me, Shantzy isn’t a fan of the cold.

If only there was someone who wanted to play?

Sorry Baby. It’s too cold outside!

Happy Wednesday!

Stouthearted / stoutˈhärdəd/ (adjective): stoutˈhärdəd/
Possessing or displaying courage; able to face and deal with danger or fear without flinching
Synonyms: doughty, stalwart, brave, courageous, determined, obstinate

Merriam-Webster

Have you ever noticed that on some of the snowiest, blowiest days, the smallest creatures are the most visible?

I think, too often, we pay attention to the strongest, the loudest, the most confident around us, and we underestimate the smallest. Someone’s size or appearance should never be used to measure their worth because I believe those with a tender heart or a stoutheart come in many sizes.

And then her heart changed, or at least she understood it; winter passed, and the sun shone upon her.

J.R.R.Tolkien

Far better it is to have a stout heart always and suffer one’s share of evils, than to be forever fearing what may happen.

Herodotus

It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the spirit.

J.R.R.Tolkien

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

Winnie-the-Pooh

Happy Wednesday!

CFFC: Kammie’s Oddball Challenge

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Margaret Hungerford

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week hooked up with Kammie’s Oddball Challenge. It’s an opportunity to showcase photos that “don’t make the cut” because they don’t quite fit in any category, yet they exist because something of visual interest caught the eye of the photographer.

Today I had to reign it in a bit because I have lots of “oddball” photos. You should meet my family! Instead, I focused on subtle signs of people deep in the woods. (Don’t worry – I skipped the dead raccoon photo)! 😉

Relish being an oddball: Well-behaved, well-adjusted people are hopeless storytellers and, honestly, terribly boring.

Sometimes the journey is more imporant than the destination…

Sometimes you have to forge your way ahead alone…
…and sometimes a friend will walk with you.
There may be lots of colour…
…or darkness ahead.
The path isn’t always clear…
…other times it’s wide open!
Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
So whether you are walking…uphill all the way…
…or riding in style…

…whichever way you are going, may it always lead you HOME.

This is my post for Cee Neuner’s Fun Foto Challenge: Which Way, part of the Which Way Challenge by Alive and Trekking.
