Quote of the day: “Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.” —Danielle LaPorte
Soft Pink and White Apple Blossoms with kk_sotrue texture layer
This week I have been passionate about playing with photography with no specific outcome in mind. Just playing. In the process of playing I’ve learned a lot. That’s the funny thing about play—animals and children play because it’s what comes naturally—and play is an important mechanism for learning.
So, I say, “Play away!” Look for where you feel passion in your life and use that to move you into your authentic self, your authentic life. A life of integrity is a life where you bring your WHOLE SELF to the game.
Today I played with textures using Kim Klassen’s lovely kk_happyheart and kk-sotrue.

Both of your images are just delightful . . . love the way the white lilacs arch so gracefully downward.

Thanks. That was a happy accident – they had started to droop and I too thought they looked graceful.

Violets and lilacs are a perfect combination. Very lovely colors and I love wild violets.

Thank you. I have great memories of picking wild violets for my mom for mother’s day – they are one of my favorite flowers!
