She started school this morning,
And she seemed so very small.
As I walked there beside her
In the Kindergarten hall.
And she seemed so very small.
As I walked there beside her
In the Kindergarten hall.
And as she took her place beside
the others in the class,
I realized how all too soon
Those first few years can pass.
the others in the class,
I realized how all too soon
Those first few years can pass.
Remembering, I saw her as
She first learned how to walk.
The words that we alone made out
When she began to talk.
She first learned how to walk.
The words that we alone made out
When she began to talk.
This little girl so much absorbed
In learning how to write.
It seems as though she must have grown
To girlhood overnight.
In learning how to write.
It seems as though she must have grown
To girlhood overnight.
My eyes were blurred by hastily
I brushed the tears away
Lest by some word or sign of mine
I mar her first big day.
I brushed the tears away
Lest by some word or sign of mine
I mar her first big day.
Oh how I longed to stay with her
And keep her by the hand
To lead her through the places
That she couldn’t understand.
And keep her by the hand
To lead her through the places
That she couldn’t understand.
And something closely kin to fear
Was mingled with my pride.
I knew she would no longer be
A baby by my side.
Was mingled with my pride.
I knew she would no longer be
A baby by my side.
But she must have her chance to live,
To work her problems out,
The privilege to grow and learn
What life is all about.
To work her problems out,
The privilege to grow and learn
What life is all about.
And I must share my little girl
With friends and work and play;
She’s not a baby anymore —
With friends and work and play;
She’s not a baby anymore —
She’s in Kindergarten today.
Model is Haley and she is in Kindergarten now.

I was excited to wake up this morning and see my Mikey featured as 'Photo of the Day' on MyShutterspace.com
I just joined the site recently and have found it to be rather enjoyable, the people there are so friendly, and very talented.
Here is the full version of Lend me a Kitten....
Here is the full version of Lend me a Kitten....
I will lend to you for awhile a kitten, God said.
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he’s dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, ’till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief
You’ll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn.
I’ve looked the whole world over in search of teachers true.
And from the folk that crowds life’s land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again?
And from the folk that crowds life’s land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again?
I fancied that I heard them say ‘Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done’
For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay.
For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay.
But should you call him back much sooner than we planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love we’ve managed your wishes to achieve,
Then in memory of him whom we loved,
please help us while we grieve.
When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life.

This is Hyper, she belongs to my friend Sandy
and her ears just crack me up. LOL
The hair just keeps getting longer and longer. LOL
Hyper is Sandy's greeter, she greets everyone that pulls up in the driveway by running to them and saying hello.
It's quite welcoming.

Being a little girl is so much fun. I remember like it was yesterday...sometimes. LOL
Watching Haley play in her dress up dresses playing princess brings back so many memories of a childhood that was purely magical for me.
I hope when Haley is my age she will look back and remember these days as I remember my own.
Giving a child the opportunity to really be a child is so important. In this grown up world we often put too many responsibilities on our little kids, our expectations are sometimes to much. Everything nowadays is so scheduled so rushed, we are all in a hurry, I think our kids are the ones who suffer because we deny them the time to just be kids, to run and play and pretend in that land of make believe.
I remember that place because I was fortunate enough to have a mother that allowed me my play time, who encouraged it without scheduling it.
I try to do the same for Haley because it is within that time in that make believe place that we become so many different things and go to so many different places. Our imaginations are where our dreams first take flight, it is there that we will experience being a doctor or a lawyer or even a princess...
before we actually make those dreams come true.
Model is my little Princess Haley who just turned 6 years old. (And is now going on 17 years old) LOL
FYI....
This Photograph "Some Kind of Fairytale" is one of my few attempts working with textures on my own photographs. I know, sounds funny since I create textures but I just love making them for others and haven't spent much time experimenting on my own work with them.
Yesterday after visiting one of my all time favorite sites Shadowhouse Creations I felt inspired to try and deliver to you an example of my textures on my own photographs, and "Some Kind of Fairytale" is the result.
The texture I used with this photograph is from my Magical Textures Collection and can be downloaded below.
And for those of you that have yet to visit Shadowhouse Creations I encourage you to stop in and give it a look, Jerry Jones, the creator of this brilliant site is crazy talented, his work is perfection. These are his latest offerings below.... yes offerings, his textures and resources are FREE.

A dog thinks:
Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me...
They must be Gods!
A cat thinks:
