What makes you stand out
amidst those that all
seem exactly the same?
You stand tall
You stand proud
You proudly proclaim
You are beautiful
Life is beautiful
You are more than just one in the crowd.
This is your life
Make the most of it.
Don’t be just one in the crowd.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
❤️😊

Words of wisdom today. Thank you Jodi for starting Sunday in a beautiful way. Your photography is exquisite. What is the name of the flower?

I believe it’s official name is Ornith0galum – often called Star of Bethlehem or Grass Lily. It is a perennial and we have a little patch of it in a shady area of our front yard. 🙂

another wondrous sampling of your photography Jodi! I’m not sure that you see this, but, when you get behind the camera – magic seems to happen. so much is conveyed. I see it. Very clearly with each photo.
and as,
your eye and heart scan, look and find – and your hand and fingers follow with a click. I just wanted to tell you, I see enchanting captivating moments in these photographs of yours. lovely. cheers, Debi
