Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain… To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices – today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it. -Kevyn Aucoin

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. -Joseph Campbell
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision. -Helen Keller
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. -George Washington Carver
When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. -Joel Osteen
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. -C. S. Lewis
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes. -William James

Such a different perspective with that cluster of snaps…and the color brings a smile to my face.

What was caught in the web… seeds or small bugs? I try to pull it up close but it just blurs. I’m guessing seed because they look all alike.
Wonderful sayings.. never thought about an egg either it hatches or it’s dead in the way before!
Lovely photos!

Hi Deb! When you click on the pic, it shows a bigger version, and if you click on the i in the lower right corner, you get it a little bigger.
This photo is hatched spiders. I thought about cropping very close, but then I would lose the nest. In hindsight, I should’ve shown the nest and the crop.
I had never considered the egg analogy either. I really like the quote. 🙂

Great job getting the chipmunk shot. They tend to move constantly.

The little chippies are definitely hyper and very curious. Since we share this living space, we are used to each other, so much so, that I had one climb up my back while I was out weeding. Guess he/she wanted a better perspective. Ha, ha! That said, I do have a difficult time getting them to sit for a photo session. I suppose I could do better if I hand fed them, like many people do, but I figure they have enough to eat around here without my taming them to expect handouts. They ate all my lettuce after all. 🙂
