my photo~heart connection...the 2.14 edition...




"a great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels,
in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed..."
~ansel adams~

It is the first of February...time for Kat's photo~heart connection.  It is such a wonderful community where we can share our photography... the special photo that tugs at our heart... the one that really connects with our soul.  Doesn't that sound just wonderful? 

I am afraid I have to admit, that I fell off the wagon last year with this wonderful exercise...but its a new year...and a new commitment to my photo~heart connection. 

We are having a winter that just will not end...never ending snow...sub zero temperatures...and oh my, that wind...
So January became a time for me to nest...a time for me to recharge.  

Instead of allowing myself go into deep depression...which certainly can happen this time of year...i decided to fill my home with things that lift my spirits.  

And flowers certainly make my spirits soar! 
I need something live...something growing...something that will remind me that springtime is coming and winter will soon become a distant memory.

  2. I think I may have to take you up on this lovely habit of bringing flowers into the house. That could definitely help lift those winter blahs. Beautiful image here of my favorite flower...

  3. Don't worry I fell off the wagon last year too, but it's a new year and we just get back on the horse and carry on. Flowers in the winter are extra special.
