About "I will hold beauty as a shield against despair.
When my heart faints I will remember sights like these:
The dawning wonder in a baby's face,
The kindness in a weary wanton's smile,
The gallant challenge of a cripple's grin,
Seeing forever bodies that are straight;
The fighting courage in a mother's eyes
When she waits, braced, to meet birth's gripping pains;
The shy adoring of a boy's first love,
The eager beauty of his first crusade
Against some wrong which he alone can right --
The tolerance that sometimes comes with age."

Shirley-- this is one fine piece of visual art; creative and unique idea to show texture and color in such an innovative way. So pleasing to the eye and a little mystery and buzz in the brain.

The kindness in your weary smile
The fighting courage in a Mother's eyes
Like a bronze cypress
Framed in a sapphire sea"

Thank you so very much, Dave! I guess I'm just showing a contrast between new life and death...with the egg and the leaf skeleton. By the way, that is a cockatiel egg...very small.:)

Heya, I get to be first on a shirley pic.

I don't know about the mysteries of life but this photo sure is a mystery. I'm going to have to sit and study this one for some answer. Very nice.... and mysterious.

Best wishes,
Dave
