A Little Bit of Glitter, part 2

“May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.”   Have you noticed, sometimes, that the world seems to conspire to position you in a particular place at a particular time with a particular set of skills or knowledge? You don’t understand why you need to endure something, or what purpose an...

Deep thoughts today! I think the challenge to nurture your daughter’s confidence is an especially interesting one.

Thank you for sharing at Rural Thursdays this week. :)

a field of daisies

i found a field of daisies. it’s amazing, and i can’t imagine that this is it’s first season… so many daisies surely would take time to spread like that… but i never saw it before. so i started wondering if maybe i’m not as good of a noticer as i thought. or maybe life has...

We had a field like this close to our house growing up. Lot’s of open fields in Texas!

You should make daisy chains with your kids…you’re never to old to enjoy the simple things! ;)

Take care,
Angela

I so need this reminder. Time together in fields of daisies, perfection!

Janet White - April 12, 2012 - 1:24 pm

GORGEOUS photo! And as for noticing – it seems I always miss something too – and have to add it in as yet another thing to look for the following spring.

Tanya - April 12, 2012 - 1:28 pm

Whitefish, Montana

We spent this past week skiing in Whitefish, Montana. It was our annual ski trip with a ski group out of Knoxville. {If you’re interested in joining us next year, let me know-can’t beat the discounts or the conveniences. Plus, we go to some pretty cool places.With some pretty cool people. Just sayin’!} It was...

Miss you Miss Patty. Glad you had a great time! You take amazing pics even on your phone!

becky - February 18, 2012 - 12:44 pm

I’ve got to wait for my contract to be up so I can get an iPhone. It’s killing me. I want one so bad…just for the camera. I can’t believe the quality of the pics. Amazing! There are times. That lugging that big camera is just impractical. Speaking of which I have instagram for my ipad. Not too many shots taken with that, but I’d love to follow you.

Nancy - February 18, 2012 - 12:52 pm

Fabulous photos, Patty. Amazing what an Iphone can capture. :)

Heather - February 18, 2012 - 3:30 pm

Wow your photos are breathtakingly gorgeous of the mountain!

Suzanne - February 19, 2012 - 12:08 am

Gorgeous place!
I have instagram but
haven’t really tried it,
yet. I now see that I
must do it!

missing moments - February 19, 2012 - 10:38 pm

Great ski shots even if with the iPhone. Who wants to lug a big camera around on the slopes??? We were just recently out at Utah and had the same problem … couldn’t see but a few feet ahead of you. Not fun!

Courtney - February 20, 2012 - 3:24 pm

LOVE these! How very beautiful?! I’ve never been to Montana – not a huge cold weather person – but I can certainly appreciate these. I am pretty in love with the bookstore pic and the whole idea. I could totally get lost in there. Thanks so much for linking up, Patty! Off to find you on Instagram! :)

Courtney - February 20, 2012 - 3:25 pm

WOW – not sure what happened with my first comment. LOL – obviously a big error. Anyhow, I love your pics (if you can’t decipher that from the code above. I appreciate you linking up and I’ll definitely find you on Instagram! :)

Ross - February 21, 2012 - 10:22 am

All I’m going to say is that I want to go!! It looks amazing, and I’m sure the skiing is great as well. These photos are amazing for an iPhone!
