I Heart Macro 6/3/12

 

 

Where did June come from?

Just finished decorating for the

eighth grade dance and graduation will be

around the corner.

My first teenager.

God help us.

We are lucky he is a really easy kid.

 

 

Life is a lot like Spring flowers.

Planting , cultivation, feeding and trimming

and a flash of glorious bloom.

These peonies are one of my favorites.

Their petals and colors and scent

captivate me.

 

 

I watched my son through the windows

waiting in my car to pick him up.

Just starting his journey.

Just starting to bloom.

I was sad and happy at the same time.

 

 

I pray his life is just what he wants it to be.

He gets to bloom when he is ready

and have his turn in the sun.

Lovely shots! I love peonies. It's both awesome and scary how quickly the kids grow up. Ronja will begin 7th grade in a bigger school in August. Mirja still has two more years in a smaller school.

Though I don't have kids of my own, I know how hard it is to watch them grow up. I'm constantly amazed at my nieces and how fast they're growing up.

Anyway, your pictures are really pretty. I don't think I've ever smelled peonies. . .I might have to change that!

You captured the gorgeousness of the peony! I love that they smell as beautiful as they look!
Our babies grow up and it is happy and sad at the same time. You will spend the rest your life marveling at the extraordinary person he is as he goes through each right of passage. You'll end up pulling out the gray hair he causes but that's just part of it!
Have a great Sunday, Patti!! XO

Patty - I love that shade of pink ! Wonderful macro photos of a gorgeous peony blossom.

You've done a marvelous job tending your garden of boys. You've nurtured them well and their roots are held firmly and deeply in good values and morels - they will - someday - all be fine young men, admired and respected by those around them. Great job - Mama Patty ! :)

Seems this Spring not only sprung by, it leaped right passed us (maybe due to the fact this was a leap year?).

Congrats on the Most Clicked Link. :)
