Pears, of all and any variety, are among my favorite subjects. I wait all year for our natives and these tiny Seckel pears were a gift from a friend.

I’m not sure which was sweeter, these or my friend!

I believe in pink.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day and
I believe in miracles.

The final set!

Whew! I thought these prompts would be different, that they would be enjoyable… but no.
I don’t have an issue creating something every day but working with prompts just rubs me wrong. By the end of the challenge I’m rebelling against the constraints of the prompt list.
So no more prompts.
After so many attempts have I finally learned my lesson? I hope so.

I guess I forgot that not only was I following a set of prompts for the month but I was also following a natural science theme. Big ooops.
Notice my departure on the 25th with my depiction of one of my favorite Muppets, Animal.
Yup… I’m a huge fan!

Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands, I used to hold.
Simce you went away, the days grow long
and soon I’ll hear old winter’s song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling
when autumn leaves start to fall.

Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

When you wake up every day you have two choices. You can either be positive or negative, an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist.
It’s all a matter of perspective.
