...I love them for the way they know better than anything else in nature what it means to surrender...
...I love them for how simply they let go...
...I love them because they've mastered the art of falling gracefully...
...I love them for quietly changing from one hue to another without ever looking back and longing for what once was...
...I love them for lying down softly and never being afraid to show their less colorful side...
...I love them for learning how to yield to the wind...
...I love them for never staying put...
...I love them for so tenderly adoring the sun, the rain, the night...
...I love them for having room to love them all...
...I love them for reminding us we will all die...
...I love them for crumbling under the weight of life because sometimes breaking apart is the strongest thing one can do...
...I love them because when I press them to my check they feel like weathered skin...
...I love them because if you look closely enough you could almost believe their veins are filled with blood, just like yours and mine...
...I love them for being and behaving so humanly...
love these photographs. and love your nine interview over on liz's space

Have no cash to buy a building? You should not worry, because this is possible to receive the business loans to resolve such problems. Hence take a secured loan to buy everything you require.

Oh so gorgeous. I am constantly in awe of the way you slow the world, make us stop and consider those tiny details around us. I love the part about them feeling like weathered skin. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thanks for the reminder. xox

Your words are true poetry.
During my bike ride yesterday I rode, deliberately, through great piles of crunchy leaves and smiled because it made me feel so young, like a kid full of simple joy.

Isn't it just so beautiful when they lie singly on the pathway and a little round aura of dampness sits around them?

I love them too. Ours are all gone. I have tons of snow to photograph. =)
