Took a ton of pix of Cherry Blossoms (tis the season!) ... and will be posting a bit at a time as I have the moments.....
Cherry Blossom Court! I hope to figure out how to make this the banner of my site at some point....

My recent favorite photo of blossoms about to open and bloom...

The same sign; a photo my husband took.  





A new perspective

My husband and I went for a walk - and took some photos. I've been taking photos of cherry blossoms for a few years now - a few weeks at a time. My husband has only just started taking photos such photos - because this year he caught me doing it several times -- plus, he just got a new camera so he's trying it out.  I like his photos - and when we came back from our walk today, I noticed that his different perspective really gives a fresh approach to cherry blossoms.

Sometimes, in life, we need a fresh perspective. If we feel we've been caught looking at something for too long (even an artist staring at the canvas they've been trying to paint ...)  step away, consult a friend, get a cup of tea, read some of The Bible .... get a fresh perspective. Come back, look at it again, and realize what's good about it. Approach it from this new viewpoint.

I hope you enjoy the fresh perspective on the cherry blossoms in today's photos.  As he and I walked, I found a fern unfolding, so I took a photo of that too. (Surprise!)

As Mary Baker Eddy says: 
"Life and goodness are immortal. Let us then shape our views of existence into loveliness, freshness, and continuity,
rather 
than into age and blight."

[Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 246]

Taking photos with my husband.  (The first 3 in this post are his, the last 2 are mine.)






New camera

Oh no! My husband just bought a new camera - as if I didn't photograph cherry blossoms enough already. And now I've got him "addicted" to photographing them too!!

I know this blog is really here to provide inspiration, and I have to just let you know that these few weeks of the year, I try to capture as many gorgeous photos of cherry blossoms in all sorts of sunlight. To tide me over until next year.  :)

So I'm a little focussed (pun!) on cherry blossoms right now.... back to inspiration & some inspiring videos in a few weeks.

PS: I'm just starting a new video project with a new person - we're working on gaining inspiration for music to accompany our next inspirational video.  Something to look forward to!  In the mean time - enjoy the pix of the cherry blossoms.  Soul.

Polly Castor's Apricot Blossoms

I love these apricot blossom photos that Polly Castor shared on her blog today; so I am sharing her blog post with you all!

This is, I think, the first time I've ever referenced another blogger on my own site. Polly is pretty special and I think you might like to sign up for her newsletter.

PS: She's referenced me once or twice on her blog too!

Photographs

Saw someone today who pulled over her car in order to photograph a white cherry blossom tree. Despite the rain. My kind of woman. :)

Let Love Rule in Me

Hi, everyone! Thank you for visiting my blog!

I worked recently on a new kind of Alex Cook video -

Several of us advertised to a lot of our acquaintances to get artwork and photographs on the theme, "Let Love Rule in Me" to accompany Alex Cook's song of the same name.

I hope you enjoy the video !

If you like the video, will you please click the "Thumbs Up" on the YouTube website, and also share it with other folks? Thank you so much!!

Love,
Jodi
