“No one lights a lamp

to hide it behind the door:

the purpose of light is to create more light,

open people's eyes,

reveal the wonders that are all around.” 

~ Paulo Coelho ~

Elegance is a radiant inner peace. 

Grace is the ability to give, receive and thank. 

Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to emerge! 

Glamor only radiates if there is a sublime courage 

and bravery within: glamor is like the moon; 

it only shines because the sun is there.

Wishing you a fantastic day my sweet friend , smile :) 

I was reminded as I wash cleaning out a storage closet that I used to enjoy photography when I was in college. I was in a photography club. I mostly did black and white for color has its own challenges with developing. It came in handy when I was an architecture student and took pictures of bridges and buildings of some significant history. Eads bridge in St. Louis was one of them completed in 1874.

 This picture was taken last year. It pioneered the use of steel for use in large scale structures instead of iron. Last time I used my camera was for taking pictures for my cousins wedding. Lucky for them I did for the guy they asked to do all their photos, none of them turned out.   

Maybe someday I will pick it up again. But for now just playing some jazz favorite tunes and wishing you a wonderful Wednesday.  Jazz

“If you start thinking that 

only your most important 

and brightest moments count, 

you are setting yourself up to 

feel like a failure most of the time”.

"Don't think about improving the lives 

of other people who don't even deserve you,
