I NEED COLOUR!!!

Right now I am so in need of some bright colours,so I decided to do something about that.

I went back into Jake's slide scans and picked five of my favourite flower pictures.

Most of these have been posted on this blog before,but I feel they are worth sharing again.

In my opinion,Jake had a good eye for composing flower shots.

OK,maybe I am just a little biased,but I think I have that right.

Looking at these images brings back wonderful memories,of time spent together and a precious love that we shared.

I would not be able to choose just one favourite,but this first one would come close to that.

More Tulips.

I love the back lighting.

Actually Jake loved taking that kind of picture and often encouraged me to try it.

The gently and delicate beauty of a Wild Columbine is seen here.

Look at this,another back lit picture.

These Tulips were growing in our own garden.

Daisies! I love Daisies in all colours.

Again,this was on our yard.

Two things I wish for right now.

One would be to have Jake at my side again,but I know that is not possible.

Perhaps,he is even closer than that.He is in my heart with all the memories I have.

I remember telling him,during the last weeks,that I had a heart full of memories,which would help me through the tough times.

Besides the memories is the assurance that God is leading me,yes,even carrying me through these days.

The other thing I wish for right now is no less possible.SPRING.

This year the winter feels much longer than usual.

I know it is not,and that it is my circumstances that make it feel that way,but I am so ready for spring.

Thought for today:

Whatever our problems,

Our troubles and sorrows,

If we trust in the Lord,

There'll be brighter tomorrows.
