“I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love…my soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.” – Jim Carrey

Flows through liquid hands
Summoning the world to
Rise.
Rumbling,
Nourishing,
Whispering…
Rivers carve
Mountains
Under a
Cerulean sky.
Crisp air,
Deep,
Deeper
Breaths.
Absorb. Inhale…
This
Sacred
Space.
Sweeping
Sentinels
Through the
Ages
Stretch, giving
Birth
To Nature’s
Luminous faces.

Flying with Butterflies
Posted in Inspiration with tags beauty, blog, blogging, butterflies, butterfly, child, children, fly, flying, innocence, life, nature, nature photography, photography, portrait, portrait photography on October 2, 2014 by allisonlabineI watched you race across the field
Flying with the butterflies…
Wonder Alight
In Your Eyes and
Eternal Sunshine in Your Smile.
And
My heart opened and my
Soul Sang:
You are
Life.
You are Love, child of this Earth.
Then you took my hand,
Your Laughter Riding on the Wind–
And you Soared;
In Innocence,
In Wonder,
In a Soul Set Free…

Tiger Facts
* More tigers now live in captivity in America than globally in the wild.

* Every tiger in the world is unique – no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes.
* Unlike most members of the cat family, tigers like water. They are good swimmers and often cool off in pools or streams.
* These fierce felines have walked the earth for a long time. Fossil remains of tigers found in parts of China are believed to be 2 million years old.
* Today, there are five subspecies of tiger: Bengal, South China, Indochinese, Sumatran and Siberian.
