Great, artistic shots. And was that a sandal in the first shot? The things one can find floating in water.

You express beautiful sentiments, Regina! We try to catch hope like a floating slipper on a stream. Otherwise, life would be meaningless.

Country Wings in Phoenix said...

Oh Regina Sweetie...
A beautiful share. The writes match the photos perfectly. A completely beautiful share this evening.

Thank you for sharing. So happy to see you. I am feeling better, but still dealing with blogger issues. I still have no dashboard, and it is telling me that I am not following anyone, and Google Reader is only showing things from ages ago, and shows I am only following a handful of blogs as well. So frustrating, so unless someone visits, I don't have links to any of my friends' blogs. So glad you popped by.

Many hugs and much love, Sherry

Kathy said...

Regina,
This is quite beautiful and well said. We all need to keep them in our prayers - they've got a long way to go to recover.
Thank you for creating this,
Kathy

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY BEAUTIFUL REGINA,
Such a lovely and pretty post with HOPE and INSPIRATION...there is so much prayer and help needed in Japan. It makes me cry at how humble, orderly and patient the Japanese people are in facing this over whelming death and destruction, all around them.
It is so lovely to talk to you my beautiful friend.
Be safe and I know the angels of the Lord encampeth around you.
Have A Sugar Sweet Day
Many Hugs
Simply Debbie
