Just what I have been saying and was taught! Beautiful!
Thank you, Jeff! I love the simple attention so evident in your photography!
it is about the attention, I am not sure how simple it is to come by? Yet that is the intention. Thank you!
The attention may not always be easy to come by, but when all is said and done, it remains a very simple endeavor. 🙂
Love that quote, Barbara! And the dove too, peacefully inspecting the flower pot.

Wonderful quote–and the picture is the perfect illustration for it.
Thank you, Sheryl!
Amen.
So be it…
