window box filled with life

the box containing the flowers is rotting away, the snow has done a number on the door. The flowers look so alive that they appear as though they find the box a bit confining & wish to escape it. Montpelier, Vermont

Cutest car ever

My daughter photographed this car while on a trip to Prague

Prague through her eyes

My daughter went on a trip to Prague when she was 16.  She took all these photographs with a small pink point & shoot.  She helped me edit them & add her name. I am proud of her trip to the other side of the world to visit history.  This was a trip planned by…

red rose
