Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

Reflections

This week's photo challenge at 
is Reflections


This photo was taken when we said a final goodbye to a sweet girl who had died of ovarian cancer.
She had asked for her ashes to be spread on a golf course in Florida, so
late one spring evening a few of her friends snuck onto a course
we all played together and sprinkled the last of her earthly remains around this pond.
The nice thing about this is that when we each go back to play this course,
we can give a silent nod to Nancy as we play the 5th hole.
