Truly A "Serendipity" Kind Of Day!

Today is Texture Tuesday with Kim Klassen! I used her texture Serendipity with the photo above.

On Easter Sunday, between visits with our two oldest son's and their families Charlie and I took a drive in the hills (when they don't come to visit us, we go to them). We saw some steer in green pastures laden with spots of colorful yellow and purple wild flowers next to a stream. So beautiful! It's nice to drive along the roads less traveled! You never know what you will come across.

Spring Observations ~

Birds singing their happy little tunes.
Doves cooing softly.
The sound of playful children laughing in the park.
The smell of cut grass.
Enjoying the warmth of the sun.
The fragrance of flowers wafting in the soft breeze.
People out and about; walking, riding their bikes or working in the yard.

How I love our Spring!
Joy of life ~
Joy of just being!

Silence Is A SweetTreat

Today is Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday! I've enjoyed playing with her texture's and applying layers to my photo's. Here I used the texture's Silence and SweetTreat.

Growing Pains ~

Breakaway

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window

Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Spread your wings baby!

Break Free & Fly ~

For this Tuesday's texture assignment, we could use any of our favorite Kim Klassen texture's. Oh my goodness... how do you pick one? I love them all!

Today, I chose the texture "Break Free & Fly."
I just liked the sound of it.
