So shines a good deed in a weary world."

I love how the light changed the color of the daffodils and made them almost translucent. Beautiful and quite creative, Susan, as always. I have missed visiting you regularly.

Gorgeous shot!

I always think of jonquils in the same light as daffodils but they are not the same at all. We have jonquils beginning to flower in the garden now and we haven't even hit winter yet!

Beautiful - as ever!

Specially meaningful to me as I belong to a theatre workshop group called "Shine On" which is for the over 50s.

At the moment we are working towards a performance for the Coventry Mystery Play Cycle which originated back in the middle ages. Our theme is re-creation with it's continual emergence of the light.

Thank you. x

Such a weary world...

"The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."

Love to you.

That photograph tugs at the heart---Beauty beheld in light--and such we are who live in the Light. Thanks friend for this truth captured and shared.

Love the light shining through the papery petals of the narcissi. It adds an extra quality to their own special glow.

Such a true and meaningful quote. I think as the world grows darker, it is more important than ever for us to shine light. I know you are having a wonderful time with Joanne!
